The 2012-13 Adequate Yearly Progress status of schools is based on a combination of their previous status and whether they met academic, test participation and attendance/graduation targets in the 2011-12 testing cycle. In order to be designated a school that needs improvement (also known as a CIPS school or continuous improvement priority) a school must have not met targets for at least two years in a row. Likewise, to be designated as a school that is making yearly progress the school must meet targets for at least two years in a row.
In order for schools to make adequate yearly progress in 2012-13, they had to meet the following targets in 2011-12 testing:
* Reading, grades 3-8: 75 percent of students must be proficient
* Reading, grade 11: 78 percent of students must be proficient
* Math, grades 3-8: 70 percent of students must be proficient
* Math, grade 11: 66 percent of students must be proficient
Schools also had to show a participation level in accountability testing of at least 95 percent in each category and average daily attendance of at least 93 percent in grades three through 8 for all subgroups. For high schools, a graduation rate of 83 percent or greater was required.
