AYP Base Report Starting points for each school and district. CDE will post on the Internet on July 22, Districts and schools may determine whether they are at risk for not meeting AYP criteria when the 2003 report is released in August.

AYP Reports CDE will post 2003 AYP reports on the Internet on August 15, Reports will include the “percent proficient” and participation rates based on 2003 testing data. Will be used to identify districts and schools that are not making AYP for 2003.
