Achievement <br />Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Targets <br />In both districts, consistent with federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) guidelines <br />for 2003 -2004, all schools but one met all their Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) targets. <br />With AYP, the number of targets per school varies depending on the various subgroup <br />populations within a school, such that the number of AYP targets within the CHCCS ranges <br />from 13 to 31, and for OCS ranges from 7 to 25. This year's results showed marked <br />improvement from the previous academic year, when only four CHCCS elementary schools <br />and two OCS elementary schools met all their AYP targets. While this improvement is <br />laudable, it must be observed that 2003 -2004 AYP targets reflected the first levels of <br />achievement standards to be met on the road to 100% student achievement in 2013 -2014. <br />For example, the 2003 -2004 NCLB target for elementary and middle school minority <br />students in both districts in reading required that 68.9% would be at or above grade level; <br />for 10t" grade high school students' performance on the NC High School Comprehensive <br />Tests of Reading and Mathematics, the goal was 52% (CHCCS Minority Student <br />Achievement Report, 2004). AYP standards for 2004 -2005 will rise, for example, to 76.7% <br />in elementary reading and 81.0% in elementary mathematics. There also is some discussion <br />about changing the high school assessment of AYP standards. <br />Report 26 <br />�1 <br />Figure 5.
