What It Means to Make 'Adequate Yearly Progress' Under NCLB
This Education Sector Explainer provides an aid to understanding how NCLB's accountability system works overall and in different states, without weighing in on the merits of the law's 2014 goal. It includes a discussion of the basics of "making" AYP and the multiple routes schools can take to get there and data showing what the requirements are in each state to meet AYP this year and for the past two years.
