9 AYP Subgroups In addition to the all continuously enrolled students category, the subgroups include: the five major racial/ethnic groups, special education, English Language Learners, and low income students. In addition to the all continuously enrolled students category, the subgroups include: the five major racial/ethnic groups, special education, English Language Learners, and low income students. The performance of a subgroup is considered if there is a minimum of 30 continuously enrolled students, a change from 2007. The performance of a subgroup is considered if there is a minimum of 30 continuously enrolled students, a change from 2007. The next slide reflects your AYP status based on continuously enrolled students. The next slide reflects your AYP status based on continuously enrolled students.
