The Commonwealth of Virginia sets high standards for learning and achievement. These standards include annual measurable objectives in reading and mathematics adopted by the Board of Education in compliance with the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Schools that meet or exceed these objectives, as well as requirements for participation in testing, and attendance (elementary and middle schools) or graduation (high schools) are considered to have made adequate yearly progress (AYP).

Under the law, Title I schools (schools that receive federal funds under Title I of NCLB) that do not make AYP in the same subject area for two consecutive years are identified for Title I School Improvement.
