What criteria are used to determine if a school does not meet AYP?
Schools must meet identified performance targets in Reading and Mathematics for the whole group plus each identified sub-group. A minimum of two years of MEA scores is used to determine school or sub-group status for performance. Schools must also ensure that 95% of the whole group plus 95% of each sub-group participates in the test. Finally, schools with 4th and 8th grades tested must meet a third target of Average Daily Attendance, while high schools must meet a target for graduation rate.
