Central, East, Denfeld, Morgan Park, Woodland, Nettleton, Grant, Lowell, Laura MacArthur, Homecroft, Stowe, ALC
-- How can schools can make gains, outperform the state, or score in the Top 25% statewide and NOT make AYP? NCLB measurements require all of the following in order to make AYP:
-
All students must meet the Graduation, Attendance, Proficiency and Participation targets.
-
In addition, students in 8 subgroups* within a school must achieve proficiency and participation targets in both reading and math. If one subgroup doesn't make AYP in one subject, the entire school doesn't make AYP.
* Special Education; Free/Reduced Lunch; White; American Indian; African American; Hispanic; Limited English Proficient, Asian/Pacific Islander
In other words, there are many ways to NOT make AYP. Some AYP targets are related to large groups of students, some are related to small groups of students.
