NCLB Accountability

Federal regulations under No Child Left Behind (NCLB) required all states to develop a school accountability system that determines adequate yearly progress (AYP) for all schools and districts.  Oklahoma uses components of the state-mandated Academic Performance Index (API) to measure AYP, focusing primarily on the academic achievement of students in mathematics and reading, but also includes other educational measures.  Statewide performance benchmarks have been set for each indicator to determine whether a school or district meets AYP, which can result in rewards or sanctions.  The following benchmarks must be met in order for a school or district to make AYP

AYP Benchmarks for 2009 - 2010

Mathematics API...............................1074
Reading API......................................1060
Percent of Students Tested.................95%
Attendance Rate API..........................618  (applicable to Elementary, Middle , and Junior High Schools only)
Graduation Rate API..........................842  (applicable to High Schools and Districts only)

  • Academic Excellence:
    • Utilizes ACT scores and participation, Advanced Placement (AP) credit, and college remediation rates in reading and mathematics *
  • School Completion:
    • Includes attendance, dropout, and graduation rates *

     *Dropout and graduation rates, as well as all indicators within the Academic Excellence component are 
                  used only in high school (Grades 9-12) and PK-12 district accountability.
