Virginia Statewide
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP):
2008-2009 Ratings Based on 2007-2008 Achievement
Terminology.

The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) requires states to set annual measurable objectives of proficiency in reading and mathematics, participation in testing, and graduation and attendance. These objectives are in addition to the high standards for learning and achievement required under Virginia’s Standards of Learning (SOL) program. Schools and school divisions that meet the annual objectives required by the federal education law are considered to have made adequately yearly progress (AYP) toward the goal of 100 percent proficiency of all students in reading and mathematics by 2014.

Key points to consider when reviewing AYP data for Virginia public schools:

2008-2009 AYP ratings are based on student achievement during the 2007-2008 school year. For a Virginia school or school division to have made AYP, at least 77 percent of students overall and students in all subgroups must have demonstrated proficiency in reading, and 75 percent of students overall and in all subgroups must have demonstrated proficiency in mathematics.

For a school or school division to make AYP under the federal education law, it must meet or exceed separate requirements and objectives. A school or school division that falls short on a single requirement or objective is not considered to have made AYP. These requirements include objectives for participation in testing in reading and mathematics, achievement in these subjects, and attendance (elementary and middle schools) or graduation (high schools). A minimum of 95 percent of students overall must participate in reading and mathematics testing, and 95 percent of students in each of the following subgroups also must take state assessments in these two subjects: white, black, Hispanic, students with disabilities, economically disadvantaged students, and students with limited English proficiency. Students may be counted in more than one subgroup. Students overall and in each subgroup must meet the annual measurable objectives (AMO) for proficiency in reading and mathematics or reduce the failure rates on tests in reading and mathematics by at least ten percent. Schools and school divisions also must meet annual objectives for progress on other indicators of academic achievement.
