Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP)

The Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) measure was established to help identify Title I schools and districts needing additional help educating our next generation. AYP results are used to help identify low-performing Title I schools and districts by offering other educational options for their struggling students.

Schools and districts that do not meet these AYP achievement objectives can still demonstrate AYP by showing adequate progress by having enough improvement in the percentage of students--if not the actual count of them--who meet state standards in English Language Arts and Mathematics. This is combined with checking for acceptable attendance (pre-high school) or graduation rates (high school).
