  AYP targets   District targets are assessed in three grade spans: Grades 3–5, 6–8, and 9–12. To meet AYP goals in Academic Performance or Test Participation, the district needs to achieve all targets for both subjects in one grade span only. Currently, test results from Grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 11 will determine AYP results.
