November 2, 2011 -- Results from the amended Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) report, including those for Atlanta Public Schools, are now available on the GaDOE website. You can find reports for individual schools at the following link: http://public.doe.k12.ga.us/ayp2011/search.asp
AYP is the formula used to determine if schools are meeting expectations under the federal No Child Left Behind Act. It consists of three parts -- test participation, academic achievement and another statistic, called a "second indicator." All students at a school, as well as any qualifying subgroup of students, must meet goals in all three categories in order to "make AYP." Schools that do not make AYP for two consecutive years in the same subject are placed in "Needs Improvement" status and face escalating consequences.
Highlights
Number of schools making AYP that did not make AYP in the prior year- 179 Number of school systems with 100% of schools making AYP this year- 49 Number of schools coming off Needs Improvement- 31
