These maps represent district-level Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) status for the three accountability level groups (K-5, 6-8 and 9-12). Status is determined based on student performance on the Benchmark and End-of-Course Exams.
Methodology
For each district, the total number of non-mobile students proficient on the 4th, 6th, 8th Grade Benchmark Exam and the Algebra, Geometry, and Literacy End-of-Course exams was identified. This number was divided by the total number of non-mobile students in the district attempting these exams to produce a district-level Percent Proficient for both literacy and mathematics. This methodology was repeated for the following student groups: African-American, Hispanic, Caucasian, Economically Disadvantaged, Limited English proficient and Special Education. For each of these groups the percent proficient was compared to the state-determined percent proficient required to meet AYP. Districts were required to have a minimum of 40 students in a group, or 5% of their total enrollment (up to 200) for that group to be assigned a status. If a group did not meet the AYP standard, but showed growth from the previous year, and if at least 95% of the students in that group were assessed, then Safe Harbor was applied to the group's status. The status of the lowest-performing group was assigned to the district as per NCLB requirements.
Districts that met the standards for the 2003-2004 school year are colored green, while districts that did not meet the standards are colored yellow.

- A district that met the K-5 AYP Percent Proficient Requirement for Literacy and Math will be colored green.
- A district that did not met the K-5 AYP Percent Proficient Requirement for Literacy and Math will be colored yellow.
Interpretation of the District AYP Status Charts
These GAPS plots reveal that districts in the Southeastern region are less successful at meeting AYP standards than other districts throughout the state. In addition, it is more likely for districts to be not meeting the standards for the 9-12 AYP Group than for the K-5 AYP Group.
