Adequate Yearly Progress - 2012
State of California

Statewide, students did not meet all requirements for 2012 Adequate Yearly Progress as determined by the California Department of Education. Details of their performance are in the tables below.

These results are from the 2012 Accountability Progress Report (APR), released by the California Department of Education in October 2012. 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.

All AMOs met, all participation rates met.

Under the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), students in the state as a whole 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 2012.
     
  • 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 high school students, improving their graduation rates.

Performance - Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs)
2012 English/Language Arts Percent Proficient or Above

Pop-trends
58.1% Proficiency levels are measured using the California Standards Tests for elementary and middle school students and the California High School Exit Exam for high schools. Target percentages are known as "annual measurable objectives" (AMOs).
    The AMOs for the state as a whole increased substantially in 2012, to 78.0% in English/language arts and 78.2% in mathematics.


Each numerically significant subgroup of students must also meet the AMOs in both subjects 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.

Participation Rates
2012 English/Language Arts Participation Rate 99.0% 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.

2012 Growth API






788 The 2012 Growth Academic Performance Index (API) must be at least 740 or improve over the 2011 Base API by at least one point.

To meet AYP criteria, the state, based on 2010-11 graduation rates, must:
  1. Have a four-year cohort graduation rate of at least 90.0%, or
  2. Meet a 2012 fixed growth target rate, or
  3. Meet a 2012 variable growth target rate.
Fixed and variable target graduation rates are calculated if the 90% goal is not attained.

All student subgroups also must meet the above standards in order for the state to make the graduation rate target.

Note2: AYP indicators are highlighted in red if they do not meet AYP target values. Some AYP indicator values that appear not to meet a standard actually do meet AYP standards due to an alternative method determination and will not be highlighted in red.
