How will measuring “adequate yearly progress” help improve my school?
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is an individual state’s measure of yearly progress toward achieving state academic standards. It sets the minimum level of improvement that states, school districts, and schools must achieve each year. No Child Left Behind raises the bar of expectations for all students – especially those ethnic groups and those disadvantaged students who are falling farther and farther behind and who are most in danger of being left behind.
