What is Adequate Yearly Progress and how is it different from EAA rankings?
NCLB requires that all students reach proficiency in reading/language arts and mathematics (roughly B+ work) by the end of the 2013 – 14 school year. The charts below show the percentage of students that must score proficient on PACT or HSAP in order for AYP to be achieved each year. The AYP rating evaluates each school’s performance based on categories of students within that school. The report card’s absolute and improvement ratings look at the average performance of all students together.
