Department of Education Releases Adequate Yearly Progress Data
on Secure Web Site

According to the Department of Education, public release of the 2005 Adequate Yearly Progress data will take place August 10. To allow time to review the reports, chief school administrators were given information last week on how to access their specific school data on a secure Department Web site.

The site includes preliminary 2005 AYP status by school as required by the No Child Left Behind accountability standards. The Department has calculated AYP based on the 2005 results from the New Jersey Assessment of Skills and Knowledge, the Grade Eight Proficiency Assessment, and the High School Proficiency Assessment.

Specific school information can be found on the secure site under two reports: Preliminary Adequate Yearly Progress Status Under No Child Left Behind Accountability Requirements: 2005 and Preliminary Improvement Status Summary. The reports show the number of indicators met out of the 40 required under the New Jersey Single Accountability System.

Other information on the site includes the New Jersey Accountability Workbook; Understanding Accountability in New Jersey; Key Points; School Improvement Information Sheet; 2005 Preliminary AYP Appeal Form; and Parental Notification Requirements and Sample Letters.
