Adequate Yearly Progress - 2008
Ramona City Unified
(CDS code 37-68304)

This district has not met all requirements for 2008 Adequate Yearly Progress as determined by the California Department of Education. Details of the district's performance are in the tables below.

These results are from the 2008 Accountability Progress Report (APR), released by the California Department of Education in September 2008. Click here for more information about APR.

The CDE has 16 alternative methods for determining if schools made AYP. These apply to schools for which AYP indicators cannot be calculated in the standard way or whose circumstances meet allowable exceptions. Examples are alternative schools and very small schools. Some schools made AYP because of these alternative calculations, but the original data is reported in the tables below.

Under the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), school districts as well as schools must make "adequate yearly progress" (AYP) in several areas, based primarily on student performance and participation.

Performance: Each year the percent of students in each subgroup scoring "proficient" or above in English/language arts and mathematics on standardized tests must meet or exceed target percentages known as "annual measurable objectives" (AMOs) that increased substantially for 2008.
Participation: The percent of students in each subgroup taking the tests must meet or exceed 95%.
Additional indicators for AYP include scoring at certain levels on the Academic Performance Index (API) and, for districts with high schools, improving their graduation rates.

Performance - Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs)
2008 Schoolwide English/Language Arts Percent Proficient or Above Pop-trends	57.3%	Proficiency levels are measured using the California Standards Tests for elementary and middle schools and the California High School Exit Exam for high schools. Target percentages are known as "annual measurable objectives" (AMOs). The AMOs for unified school districts increased substantially in 2008, to 34% in English/language arts and 34.6% in mathematics. Districts with fewer than 100 valid scores have adjusted AMOs and must meet adjusted percent proficient targets. Each numerically significant subgroup of students must meet the AMOs in both subjects for the district to make Adequate Yearly Progress. The subgroups are based on ethnicity, disability, socioeconomically disadvantaged (free/reduced price meal program and/or parents without high school diplomas), and English learners. A district can make AYP if the percent of students (whole district or subgroups) who are below proficient in ELA or math decreased by 10% from the previous year; in this "safe harbor" provision the district must have a 95% participation rate and an API Growth score of 620 or one point above the previous year.

All subgroups met AMOs in English/Language Arts?	No
2008 Schoolwide Math Percent Proficient or Above Pop-trends	59.7%
All subgroups met AMOs in Math?	Yes
Participation Rates
2008 District English/Language Arts Participation Rate	99.0%	The district as a whole and each numerically significant subgroup of students must have a 95% participation rate in both English/language arts and math in order to make Adequate Yearly Progress. The subgroups are based on ethnicity, disability, socioeconomically disadvantaged (free/reduced price meal program and/or parents without high school diplomas), and English language status. Click here for participation data by subgroup.
All subgroups met Participation Rate in English/Language Arts?	Yes
2008 District Math Participation Rate	99.0%
All subgroups met Participation Rate in Math?	Yes
Additional Indicator(s)
2008 Growth API	781	Each district’s 2008 Growth Academic Performance Index (API) must be at least 620 or improve over the 2007 Base API by at least one point. An "Invalid" Growth API also prevents the district from making AYP. To meet AYP criteria, districts with high schools, based on 2006-07 graduation rates, must: Have a graduation rate of at least 83.0%, or Show a 0.1% improvement over the graduation rate from the prior year, or Demonstrate at least a 0.2% improvement in the average two-year graduation rate.
2008 Graduation Rate Pop-trends	93.8%
Made Graduation Rate Target?	Yes
Program Improvement - Title I
District placed in Program Improvement?	No	Because this district receives federal Title I funds, it will be placed in Program Improvement if it fails to make Adequate Yearly Progress on the same indicator for two years in a row.
Level of Program Improvement	N/A
Socioeconomically disadvantaged API	691
Note: N/A indicates information is not available or not applicable.
