AYP (adequate yearly progress) is part of the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). LPS reports assessment results for grades 3-8 and 12 to the NDE to meet this federal requirement. If schools or the district don’t meet the criteria NDE sets for AYP, negative consequences occur. These criteria include both 95% participation of students in certain groups and percent of students who are proficient. AYP reporting includes only English language arts and math.
