Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) was a measurement defined by the United States federal No Child Left Behind Act that allowed the U.S. Department of Education to determine how every public school and school district in the country was performing academically according to results on standardized tests. As defined by National Council on Measurement in Education (NCME), AYP was "the amount of annual achievement growth to be expected by students in a particular school, district, or state in the U.S. federal accountability system, No Child Left Behind (NCLB)."[1] AYP has been identified as one of the sources of controversy surrounding George W. Bush administration's Elementary and Secondary Education Act.[2] Private schools were not required to make AYP.[3][4]
