AYP+Information

Each school (and school district) is measured on achievement criteria for Adequate Yearly Progress. For high schools, students must meet performance benchmarks in Algebra I, Biology, English II, and graduation rate. If a school does not meet the criteria for two years in a row, they are deemed high priority. Tennessee elects to identify schools that are in danger of being high priority by noting their status as a Target school. AYP status is also calculated each year for the following student subgroups: White, Hispanic, African American, Native American, Asian/Pacific Islander, Economically Disadvantaged, Students with Disabilities and English Language Learners.

The accountability chart for the different high priority status areas is as follows:

At the faculty meeting in August, the following presentation described Antioch's high priorty status. In the presentation on slide 5, you will also find the AYP benchmarks through the 2010 school year.
