— Not available. 1 Under No Child Left Behind (NCLB), each state has developed and implemented measurements for determining whether its schools and local educational agencies are making adequate yearly progress (AYP). AYP is an individual state's measure of progress toward the goal of 100 percent of students achieving to state academic standards in at least reading/language arts and math. In this table, schools identified as not making Adequate Yearly Progress have failed to meet their targets for 95 percent proficiency in English language arts/reading or mathematics for any of the grades tested (grades 3-8, high school) for the school, and for the NCLB student subgroups (economically disadvantaged students, students from major racial and ethnic groups, students with disabilities, and students with limited English proficiency), or for another academic indicator. 2 The percent of all schools identified as in need of improvement is an aggregation of schools in Year 1, Year 2, Year 3 (corrective action), Year 4 (restructuring-planning), Year 5 and beyond (restructuring-implementing) of school improvement. 3 The total for this cell excludes states for which the "in need of improvement" designation is given only to Title 1 schools (indicated as "not available" in the table). 4 State provided latest data as of June 2008. 5 California, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Oregon, and Virginia have identified schools as in need of improvement, but they limit the designation to Title I schools. The other states in this table identify both Title I and non-Title I schools in need of improvement.
