AYP=Adequate Yearly Progress

It has to do with test scores for each school. Each school is required to meet certain standards each year in reading and math. If they don't, then they don't make AYP. If school does not make AYP for two years in a row you should be able to take your child to another school that is passing.

Not so; under NCLB, transfer option only applies to Title I schools with high percentages of lower-income kids that don't make AYP for two years in a row.

Schools in FCPS have to meet almost 30 benchmarks to make AYP. So if the pass rate on a Mathematics SOL for Hispanics at some middle school is lousy, and everyone else does great, the school doesn't make AYP. But if it's in a generally affluent school district, there won't be a transfer option.

It means your kids are not too bright.
