AYP is the annual academic proficiency targets in reading and math that the state, school districts and schools must reach to be considered on track for 100% proficiency by school year AYP is part of state and federal statute. The Federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 says that each state shall establish a timeline for adequate yearly progress. The timeline shall ensure that no later than 12 years after the school year all students in each group described in the law will meet or exceed the state s proficient level of academic achievement. New Mexico Statute Article 2C says, The state shall institute an adequate yearly progress program that measures public schools improvements What do schools have to do in order to meet AYP? Schools need to: a) Achieve a 95% participation rate on state assessments. b) Reach targets for proficiency or reduce non-proficiency. c) Reach targets for the attendance rate for elementary and middle schools and the graduation rate for high schools. Who has to meet AYP? The state, school districts, schools, and subgroups of 25 or more students within schools. The subgroups include Ethnicity/Race: Caucasian, African American, Asian/Pacific, Hispanic, American Indian/Alaskan Native; as well as Economically Disadvantaged (FRLPstudents eligible for the free or reduced lunch program), with Disabilities (SWD), and English Language Learners (ELL).

Results for will be reported following release by the Public Education Department. Additional copies may be secured at each school site or at the District Office, 408 North Canyon. This report along with back issues can also be accessed on the district web site at The district s annual accountability report measures the performance of every school in the district on several indicators including AYP ratings, proficiency statistics for all students, teacher qualifications, district expenditures, and the parent survey on quality of education. While each of these data points contributes to a holistic view of district progress, the district uses the data as part of a larger body of evidence in measuring school performance. In addition to the AYP data, schools track progress and develop action plans on four essential restructuring areas. District progress on the restructuring areas is reported periodically at public meetings of the Carlsbad Board of Education. Highlights include: (1) CMS is making improvements in teacher effectiveness and in the equitable distribution of qualified teachers for all students, particularly students who are most in need. Actions include setting high expectations for teaching and learning in the core content areas of literacy and mathematics; assuring that all teachers are highly qualified in the areas in which they are teaching; and improving the teacher evaluation process using walkthroughs, informal & formal observations, frequent progress checks and quarterly coaching. (2) CMS is making progress in establishing pre-k-to-college-and-career data systems that track progress and foster continuous improvement. Actions include using data to measure and make improvement; collecting information on the percentage of students who require remediation in the first two years of college/university study; and surveying students with disabilities who have an IEP in place upon graduation.

2 MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT (continued) (3) CMS is making progress toward rigorous college- and career-ready standards and high-quality assessments that are valid and reliable for all students, including limited English proficient students and students with disabilities. Actions include design of a guaranteed and viable curriculum that is effectively sequenced and paced with challenging goals and effective feedback; administering a workforce assessment for career readiness; identifying college readiness using the PSAT test administered in 10 th grade; providing appropriate assessments for all students including special subpopulations of students; taking a stand to increase regular attendance and graduation rate through Truancy Court and community partnerships; and helping students take the right high school courses to prepare for high school, post secondary studies, and careers. (4) CMS is making progress in providing targeted, intensive support and effective interventions at all schools. Actions include differentiated professional development for building staff that is aligned to school and district plans; providing targeted support to students in need of intervention; and providing interventions for students in need of targeted assistance. (5) CMS is making progress in overcoming barriers that impede access to, or participation in, educational programs. Actions include ensuring that time, people and financial resources are equitably determined by student learning needs so that all students are afforded access to program participation; aligning resources to educational priorities including a safe, healthy, well maintained and positive school environment; and collaborating with Parent Advisory Committees at the school and district level in a review of student progress and resources needed to bring more students to proficiency.

In addition, the Public Education Department (PED) will provide technical assistance, as requested, during this process. After 2 nd Year of not making AYP (designated School Improvement I) the school must develop an improvement plan and offer parents the option to choose a school that is not in School Improvement. After 3 rd Year of not making AYP (designated School Improvement II) the school must provide supplemental education services (SES) such as after school programs, tutoring and summer services, based on budget availability. The school must also continue to offer school choice and provide transportation or pay the cost of transportation, based upon budget availability, for students who choose to enroll in a school that is not in School Improvement. After 4 th Year of not making AYP (designated Corrective Action) in addition to the requirements listed above the school and district must also implement one or more of the following: replace staff as allowed by law, implement a new curriculum, decrease management authority of the public school, appoint an outside expert to advise the public school, extend the school day or year, and change the public school s internal organizational structure. After 5 th Year of not making AYP (designated Restructuring I) In addition to the requirements listed above, the school, district and PED must develop a plan including one or more of the following actions: re-open the public school as a charter school, replace all or most of the staff, as allowed by law, turn over the management of the public school to the PED, and make other governance changes. After 6 th year of not making AYP (designated Restructuring II) In addition to the requirements listed above, the school, district and PED must implement the plan developed in Restructuring I. How can a school be removed from improvement status? By reaching AYP targets for two consecutive years. Assessments Proficiency Levels Standard based assessments are scored according to proficiency levels that are established by committees of teachers from across New Mexico. Every question/item on each test is evaluated and studied in order to specify knowledge, skills and abilities that students should have in order to demonstrate proficiency. Based upon how many items a student answers correctly, and how well they can justify their answers, a proficiency level is assigned. The proficiency levels are:, Nearing Proficient, Proficient and Advanced. Since the assessments are designed to measure how well students are achieving the New Mexico standards, students scoring at the Proficient or Advanced level are designated as having met the standards. Teacher Quality Data Data for the of teachers with Bachelor s degree or Master s degree and higher are obtained from the STARS 120 th day Staff file submission for the school year. Data for the of core academic classes not taught by Highly Qualified Teachers also comes from the report obtained from the STARS 120 th day for , highly qualified teacher report generated on 05/16/2008. Feeder School Methodology Feeder schools are kindergarten through second grade schools, and their students do not take the standards-based tests. NCLB requires that all schools be rated for Adequate Yearly Progress, including feeder schools. These schools are rated on the performance of third grade students who once attended there. High and Low Poverty Schools High Poverty Schools: Schools with the most students eligible for Free or Reduced Lunch (Top 25%). Low Poverty Schools: Schools with the fewest students eligible for Free or Reduced Lunch (Bottom 25%). Carlsbad Municipal Schools 14 District Report Card
