This legend explains terms used in the above chart that describe whether each student group met this yearʼs AYP goals.
For test indicators, AYP can be met in one of four ways: For non-test indicators, AYP can be met in one of three ways:
1) meeting the AYP targets with current year results; 1) meeting the AYP targets with current year results;
2) meeting the AYP targets with two-year combined results; 2) meeting the AYP targets with two-year combined results;
3) meeting the improvement requirements of Safe Harbor; 3) making improvement over the previous year.

N/A Not applicable.
Not Required – This indicator was not evaluated for this subgroup because the subgroup size was smaller than the minimum number needed to achieve a statisti-

Met This subgroup met AYP for this indicator with its current year, two-year combined, Safe Harbor, or growth measure results.
Not Met This subgroup did not meet AYP for this indicator.

Determining Your School's Designation
Determining your school’s report card designation is a multi-step process. The first step is to determine a preliminary designation,
which is based on the following components: 1) the percentage of indicators met, 2) the performance index and 3) AYP determination.
Indicators Met Performance Index AYP Designation Preliminary Designation
94%-100% or 100 to 120 and Met or Not Met = Excellent
75%-93.9% or 90 to 99.9 and Met or Not Met = Effective
0%-74.9% or 0 to 89.9 and Met = Continuous
50%-74.9% or Not Met = Improvement
80 to 89.9 and
31%-49.9% or 70 to 79.9 and Not Met = Academic Watch
0%-30.9% and 0 to 69.9 and Not Met = Academic Emergency
The preliminary designation results from identifying the Once the preliminary designation is determined, Value-Added,

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP),
often referred to as “The Nation’s Report Card,” is the only nationally representative and continuing
assessment that enables the comparision of performance in Ohio and other states in various
subject areas. Schools and students within each state are selected randomly to be a part of the
assessment. Not all students in the state or in a particular school take the assessment. Data
are reported at the state level only, and there are no individual student or even school summary
results. The assessments are conducted in mathematics, reading, science, writing, the arts,
civics, economics, geography and U.S. history.
To view Ohio’s most recent
NAEP results, go to:
