The Relationship Between AYP and School Improvement Status

The Relationship Between AYP and School
Improvement Status
2
Adequate Yearly Progress

• (Schools and School Systems)

3
AYP

• No Child Left Behind (NCLB) uses the term
  Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) to describe
  whether a school or school system has met its
  annual accountability goals.
• AYP is what the school or school system did this
  year.

4
Matrix for AYP Determinations
5
AYP

• For a school, the matrix is completed for all
  grades combined.
• For a school system, the matrix is completed
  separately for each grade span (3-5 Grade Span,
  6-8 Grade Span, and High School Span).

6
The 3 Components of AYP

• Reading in all groups
• Participation rate (95)
• Annual measurable objective
• Mathematics in all groups
• Participation rate (95)
• Annual measurable objective
• Additional Academic Indicators (AAI) for the All
  Students group
• Attendance rate (95 or higher/improvement)
• AND/OR
• Graduation rate (90 or higher/improvement)

7
AYP Reporting Categories

• Reading AYP
• Mathematics AYP
• AAI AYP
• Overall AYP (not used in determining School
  Improvement status, but required to be reported
  by NCLB)

8
AYP for Schools

• If a school meets all applicable goals for a
  component (reading, mathematics, or AAI), it
  makes AYP for that component.
• A school is identified as not making AYP in a
  component when it does not meet all applicable
  goals for the component.

9
AYP for School Systems

• If a school system meets all applicable goals for
  a component (reading, mathematics, or AAI) for at
  least one grade span, it makes AYP for that
  component.
• Example If a school system makes AYP in reading
  at the 3-5 Grade Span, the school system makes
  AYP for the reading component. It does not
  matter what happens in the 6-8 Grade Span or the
  High School Span.

10
AYP for School Systems

• A school system is identified as not making AYP
  in a component when it does not make AYP in all
  three grade spans (3-5 Grade Span, 6-8 Grade
  Span, and High School Span).

Overall AYP

• A school or school system must make AYP in all
  three components (reading, mathematics, and
  additional academic indicators) in order to make
  AYP overall.

13
School Improvement Status

• (Schools and School Systems)

14
School Improvement

• No Child Left Behind (NCLB) uses the term School
  Improvement to describe whether a school or
  school system has met its accountability goals
  over time.
• School Improvement is based on what the school
  or school system did this year and prior years.

15
School Improvement Reporting Categories

• School Improvement for reading
• School Improvement for mathematics
• School Improvement for AAI
• Overall School Improvement (status on which
  sanctions are based)

16
School Improvementfor Schools

• A school will be identified for School
  Improvement when it does not make AYP in the same
  component (reading, mathematics, or AAI) for two
  consecutive years.

17
School Improvementfor School Systems

• A school system will be identified in School
  Improvement when it does not make AYP in the same
  component (reading, mathematics, or AAI) in all
  three grade spans (3-5 Grade Span, 6-8 Grade
  Span, and High School Span) for two consecutive
  years.

18
Overall School Improvement Status

• The overall School Improvement status for a
  school or school system is the most advanced
  status of the three components (reading,
  mathematics, or additional academic indicator).

19
Example
20
Not in School Improvement

• A school or school system that makes AYP for two
  consecutive years will be identified as Not in
  School Improvement.

21
School Improvement Status

• A school or school system that does not make AYP
  for two consecutive years in the same component
  will be identified in School Improvement Year 1.
• A school or school system that does not make AYP
  the next year in the same component will move to
  School Improvement Year 2, etc.

22
Delay Provision(Once in School Improvement)

• A school or school system that is in School
  Improvement and makes one year of AYP does not
  advance to the next level of improvement, but
  retains its current improvement status in the
  component (and must implement applicable
  sanctions).
• The next years results determine whether the
  school or school system advances a level or
  returns to Not in School Improvement.
