Adequate Yearly Progress - 2012
Academy of Alameda
(CDS code 01-61119-0122085)

This school, designated as a middle school for AYP reporting, has not met all requirements for 2012 Adequate Yearly Progress as determined by the California Department of Education. Details of the school's 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.

Under the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), 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 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, high school students, improving their graduation rates.

Performance - Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs)
2012 Schoolwide English/Language Arts Percent Proficient or Above Pop-trends	54.5%	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 middle schools increased substantially in 2012, to 78.4% in English/language arts and 79.0% in mathematics. Schools 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 school 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. A school can make AYP if the percent of students (whole school or subgroups) who are below proficient in ELA or math decreased by 10% from the previous year; in this "safe harbor" provision the school must have a 95% participation rate and an API Growth score of 680 or one point above the previous year.

All subgroups met AMOs in English/Language Arts?	No
2012 Schoolwide Math Percent Proficient or Above Pop-trends	47.4%
All subgroups met AMOs in Math?	No
Participation Rates
2012 Schoolwide English/Language Arts Participation Rate	99.0%	The school 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
2012 Schoolwide Math Participation Rate	98.0%
All subgroups met Participation Rate in Math?	Yes
Additional Indicator(s)
2012 Growth API	774	The school’s 2012 Growth Academic Performance Index (API) must be at least 740 or improve over the 2011 Base API by at least one point. An "Invalid" Growth API prevents the school from making AYP.
Met API Growth indicator target?	Yes
Program Improvement - Title I
School placed in Program Improvement?	Yes	Because this school 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	Year 1
Note1: N/A indicates information is not available or not applicable. 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.

¹To be numerically significant, a subgroup must have 100 pupils or be 15% of total enrollment with at least 50 pupils with valid test scores. See Students by Ethnicity and Languages of English Learner Students for student enrollment counts taken during the year. Note: 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.
