What is Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)? Federal regulations under No Child Left Behind (NCLB) require all states to develop a school ac-countability system that determines AYP for all schools and districts. Oklahoma uses components of the state-mandated Academic Performance Index (API) to measure AYP, focusing primarily on the academic achievement of students in mathematics and reading, but also includes other educational measures. Statewide performance targets are set for each indicator to determine whether a school or dis-trict meets AYP, which can result in rewards or sanctions. How is AYP measured? AYP focuses on the mathematics and reading achievement of all students, as well as the achieve-ment of specific student groups. Subscores of the school’s or district’s overall API will be analyzed to determine AYP. For measuring academic achieve-ment, a statewide timeline was developed, with separate annual benchmarks for state mathematics and reading tests, ending in the goal of 100 % pro-ficiency by 2013-2014. In addition, based on 2001- 2002 data, individual benchmarks were set for other indicators (i.e., participation in state testing, atten-dance, and graduation rates). In accordance with federal regulations, all students will be held to the same standards, and schools must meet the bench-marks for all indicators to make AYP. What is the purpose of making AYP determina-tions for schools and districts? The purpose of determining AYP annually is to measure success and to initiate growth in school and district performance in our state. By requiring all students to meet the same academic standards, Oklahoma hopes to close the achievement gaps among different student groups. AYP determina-tions will increase parental and public awareness of educational issues and encourage community in-volvement and support, while also rewarding suc-cess through incentives and providing opportunities for improving the quality of education in Oklahoma schools. What criteria are used to determine AYP? Pursuant to federal law, many criteria must be met in order for a school or district to make AYP. Specific annual performance benchmarks, separate for mathematics and reading/language arts assess-ments, must be met by all of the following student groups for the school to make AYP: All Students; Regular Students; Black, American Indian, His-panic, Asian, White, and Other; Economically Dis-advantaged Students; English language learners (ELL); and Students with Disabilities. * At least 95% of students enrolled in the tested grades by subgroup must be assessed.** Benchmarks for the additional educational indicator (i.e., attendance and/or graduation rates) must be achieved. *For any subgroup to receive an API score in math or reading the subgroup must have assessed a mini-mum of 30 students in the subject. **The 95% participation score will be calculated only when at least 40 students are enrolled in tested grades. What is the incentive for schools and districts to make AYP? State legislation provides for a system of recogni-tion, rewards, sanctions and technical assistance established by the State Board of Education based on AYP determinations. Federal funds may also be available to reward successful Title I schools. Un-der federal regulations, schools or districts that do not meet their AYP targets will be eligible for inter-ventions, ranging from offering school choice and providing supplemental services to students, to re-quired reorganization of the school or district. Where can I find more information regarding AYP?
