1. Meeting AYP and Generating API: Preventing “Leakage”

2. “Leakage” AYP Two Reasons AYP is not met: 1. Failure to move Basic students to Proficiency. 2. Having students “leak” multiple quintile levels out of proficiency.

4. “Checking for Leaks”: Fleming Middle School Spring 2004 to Spring 2005 CST results Targeted Intervention Program in Math 50 students moved to CST proficiency 60 students move out of CST proficiency Net Growth of Proficient students in Math: -10

5. “Leakage” API Two Main Reasons API drops: 1. Failure to move students from Far Below Basic to Below Basic. 2. Having students “leak” multiple quintile levels.

10. Preventing “Leaks”: Early monitoring of proficient and above students with the periodic assessments in ELA and Math. Provide early differentiated instruction for struggling proficient students.
