=Pennsylvania's Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Reporting Tool =

The [|PAAYP] website is useful in the school improvement planning process for gathering data about how your district or school has met "[|No Child Left Behind]" (NCLB) requirements for making [|Adequate Yearly Progress] (AYP). You will find information in the following categories: school attendance, graduation rates, performance (achieving proficiency), and participation (number taking the PSSA). You will also find information about whether the performance targets were met using special provisions such as: [|Safe Harbor], [|Confidence Intervals], [|Pennsylvania Performance Index] (PPI), or a combination of these provisions.

This website is open to the public. You **do not** need a username or password to access information. Data is reported at the district level in grade spans, by school, and by subgroup for both reading and math.
