17 Proficiency Targets for AYP Each year proficiency targets increase YearReadingMath

18 Federal Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) NCLB requires all schools to measure Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) ALL public schools receive AYP Scores  Non-Title I Schools  Title I Schools  Charter Schools AYP measures progress of nine subgroups
