Federal Testing Accountability
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) and Annual Measurable Objectives (AMO)
All Title I Schools must meet Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) school wide.
Failure to meet AYP for two consecutive years in a single curricular area or AYP component will move a school into Program Improvement (PI) status.
Curricular Areas: Language Arts and Math
Exiting Program Improvement (PI)
To exit PI status, a PI school must meet Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) in each AYP component for two consecutive years.
AYP Criteria for Elementary/Middle School:
1. Participation Rate:
95% participation rate must be met in
CSTs (and CAPA) for all 2nd -8th graders
and for
each “significant” sub group.
AYP Criteria Elementary/Middle School: Annual Measurable Outcomes (AMO)
ELA ’07= 24.4% ’08= 35.2% ’09= 46.0%
Mathematics ’07=26.5% ’08=37.0% ’09=47.5%
2. Testing Proficiency (AMO): Minimum Percentage of students at Proficient to Advanced levels of the California Standards Test (CST)

AYP Criteria for Elementary/Middle School/High School:
3. Academic Performance Index (API) Elementary, Middle and High School
levels:
Minimal School API Score of 590 (620 in Spring ‘08)
Or
Increase of 1 API point per year
ALL Title I Schools are accountable for significant subgroups
If a Title I School has a subgroup population which is:
100 students or greater who are to be STAR tested,
or
99 to 50 students which represent at least 15% of the total number
of students to be tested,
the subgroup must meet:
Participation Rate and
Annual Measurable Objectives (AMO) Proficiency Rates.
3 Key Subgroups
English Learners Socio Economically Disadvantaged Special Education
Key Subgroup: EL Students
Includes RFEPS.
Key Subgroup: Socio Economically Disadvantaged
Free and Reduced Lunch. Parents did not graduate from High
School.
Key Subgroup: Special Education
Any student with an IEP. Exited Special Ed Students count for
Proficiency (2 years max). Math Proficiency Provision.

API
For Academic Performance Index
(API), greatest gains will occur when
moving students from the lowest CST
levels due to weighting factors.

Preventing “Leakage”
“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.

Preventing “Leaks”:
Early monitoring of proficient and above students with student work and the periodic assessments in ELA and Math.
Provide early differentiated instruction for struggling proficient students in IWT.
To Insure API Growth, While Implementing the Core Program Elements with Fidelity, Consider:
Fully Reviewing School-wide
Intervention Program, including IWT.
Prevent Leakage:Elementary CST Comparison Data.Procedure to create an SIS report which compares two or more years of CST data for individual students.

Key to Meeting AYP and Generating API:
Positive Annual Gains
Goal:
Move One Testing Level Per Year regardless of assessed level.
