Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)
Under the federal No Child Left Behind Act, all public schools must have 100 percent of tested students meet state standards in reading and math by 2014. 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 55 percent of all tested students must meet or exceed state standards on the reading and math tests.

  • A subgroup that falls below 55 percent can claim "safe harbor" from falling adequate yearly progress if its percent of kids meeting or exceeding state standards improves by 10 percent from the previous year.

  • High schools must have a graduation rate of at least 72 percent.

  • Elementary, junior high and middle schools must have an attendance rate of at least 90 percent.

  • Only 17.5 percent of all students meet or exceed state reading standards.

  • Only 6.3 percent of all students meet or exceed state math standards.

  • Only 17.7 percent of black students meet or exceed state reading standards.

    That did not meet the safe harbor target of 36.9 percent.

  • Only 6.5 percent of black students meet or exceed state math standards.

    That did not meet the safe harbor target of 20.9 percent.

  • Only 17.1 percent of low-income students meet or exceed state reading standards.

    That did not meet the safe harbor target of 36.7 percent.

  • Only 7.2 percent of low-income students meet or exceed state math standards.

  • The school's graduation rate was only 60.8 percent.

This school has been identified for school improvement 54.6 percent of the schools in the district and 13.1 percent of the schools in the state are in school improvement status. Schools receiving federal poverty funds are identified for school improvement if they have had two consecutive years without adequate yearly progress and triggers choice transfers. Two years in school improvement status triggers choice transfers. Three years on school improvement triggers additional tutoring at the school, and four years on school improvement triggers additional corrective action at the school. Schools need two consecutive years of adequate yearly progress to get off the school improvement list.
