Adequate Yearly Progress - Elementary Schools
Adequate Yearly Progress, (AYP) is what the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) uses to measure the achievement of individual schools and school districts.
The NCLB requires that every school or district meet specific academic goals in reading and math each year as measured by the Colorado Student Assessment Program (CSAP). School and district performance toward meeting those goals is called Adequate Yearly Progress. To make AYP, targets must be met for participation in CSAP tests and performance in reading and math assessments for subgroups of children such as race/ethnicity, economically disadvantaged, students with disabilities, and students with limited English proficiency.
Jeffco Public Schools had 153 AYP targets for 2008-2009 and met 136 of them, or 88.9 percent. Since AYP is an “all or nothing” system, and the district did not meet 100 percent of its targets, Jeffco Public Schools was placed on an improvement program according to federal guidelines.

Public Schools’ Improvement Plan online at: www.schoolview.org.
