In the interim, states must set gradually increasing targets.
This year in Illinois, a school is deemed to be making Adequate Yearly Progress if it meets the following conditions:
At least 95 percent tested in reading and mathematics for every student group.
At least 92.5 percent of all tested students must meet or exceed state standards on the reading and math tests.
A subgroup that falls below 85 percent can claim “safe harbor” from failing adequate yearly progress if its percent of kids meeting or exceeding state standards improves by 10 percent from the previous year.
Elementary, junior high and middle schools must have an attendance rate of at least 92 percent
