AYP is a unique measure to decide if schools are making progress. I do not feel that one test should determine whether a school is making adaquate yearly progress. Also when you think about the percentages of students who have to pass 58% in reading and 46% in math, are these scores truly "good" percentages to show that students understand the material? If it was a normal classroom score that would be failing. So as the article mentions should the bar be rasied, that way we know if more students are truly struggling with the concepts and need that extra help or reteaching?
