Adequate Yearly Progress - High 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.
