The federal No Child Left Behind legislation requires local school districts to make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) results available to parents and their communities. AYP differs from the state ABCs testing model. ABCs standardized test results are used in calculating AYP results. At the high school level, graduation rates also factor into AYP.

No Child Left Behind divides students into ten groups that must achieve proficiency targets in reading/language arts and mathematics. In order for a school to make AYP, every group a) must make the targets in both reading and mathematics and b) have at least a 95% participation rate in the assessments for each area. The ten student groups are: 1) school as a whole (all students), 2) White, 3) Black, 4) Hispanic, 5) Native American, 6) Asian, 7) Multiracial, 8) economically disadvantaged students, 9) limited English proficient students, and 10) students with disabilities.
