Data Tools Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) What is AYP? AYP stands for Adequate Yearly Progress. The term originated from the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. AYP targets in Reading and Math are scheduled to increase annually through 2013-14 to 100 percent. AYP measures all students taking Reading and Math achievement tests in grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 10. For a building or district to meet AYP, each subgroup must meet AYP in Reading and Math. [Subgroups are Economically Disadvantaged, Racial/Ethnic groups (African American, Asian, Hispanic, Multi-racial, Native American, and White), Students with Disabilities, and English Language Learners.] The school or district must also meet the AYP requirements for Attendance (or Graduation, if applicable). Any student who is reported in EMIS with any disability type has the potential to be included in the students with disabilities subgroup, depending on their Where Kids Count IRN. This includes, but is not limited to, students with speech and hearing conditions. There is a 1 percent cap on the percent of students alternately assessed that can count as proficient for accountability. IEP teams will determine if a student participates in an alternate assessment or the Ohio Achievement Assessments with or without accommodations. There are 4 ways districts can meet AYP: (1) each subgroup in each subject meet the AYP standard with the current year's data; (2) meet the standard using an average of the current year and the previous year; (3) meet the Safe Harbor criteria; or (4) meet the Growth Model criteria (based on value-added calculations).
