Adequate Yearly Progress

Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is a measure used to evaluate how well schools are helping students achieve specific learning goals set by education authorities. It tracks improvements in student test scores across various subjects and groups, such as different student demographics. If a school meets or exceeds these goals each year, it is considered to be making adequate progress. The purpose of AYP is to ensure schools are providing quality education and to identify those that may need additional support to help all students succeed.
