Guidelines and Data Sources

NCLB requires that all students perform at or above the proficient level on the state's standards-based assessment by 2014. Prior to 2014, to achieve this goal and meet annual requirements for improved performance, schools and districts must improve each year according to set requirements. To make AYP, schools and districts are required each year to meet or exceed specific criteria in each of the following:

• Requirement 1: Participation rate on the state's standards-based assessments
• Requirement 2: Percent proficient on the state's standards-based assessments
• Requirement 3: API as an additional indicator
• Requirement 4: Graduation rate (for secondary schools)

Requirements 1 and 2 apply at the school, district, and subgroup levels. Requirements 3 and 4 apply only at the school and district levels, unless exception or "safe harbor" criteria are used.

Data may be obtained from the AYP reports [http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/ay/index.asp].
