What are the targets for district AYP?
School districts must meet targets in six areas order to meet AYP. Those targets include: 1. Attendance in all schools that do not have a graduating class 2. Graduation in all schools that have a graduating class 3. Math participation in all schools 4. Reading participation in all schools 5. Math performance in all schools 6. Reading performance in all schools Districts earn their AYP status based upon the entire student population within the district, not upon the collective performances of its individual schools. The math and reading participation and performance targets are calculated in three grade spans. Those grade spans include 3rd-5th, 6th-8th and 9th-12th. For 2007 district AYP calculations, participation rates and performance scores for students in grades 4, and 5 are included for the 3rd-5th grade span; participation rates and performance scores for students in grades 6, 7, and 8 are included for the 6th-8th grade span; and scores for students in grade 11 are included for 9t
