Under No Child Left Behind, every state
must set standards for what students in each grade should know and
be able to do in the core academic subjects of reading, math, and
science. States measure each student's progress toward those
standards with tests aligned with the higher standards. The
standards are used to measure Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). NCLB
requires states to measure 40 student progress categories. If a
school falls below the required standard in any one of the 40
categories for one subgroup of students, the entire school receives
a "No" under "Did school make AYP?"
For more information, you may view the
Utah State Office of Education's Assessment
and Accountability page or visit the U.S. Department of
Education
No Child Left Behind website.
Utah's
U-PASS legislation was enacted in
2000. This law requires an annual report of assessments and behavior
indicators and includes a state accountability plan. The overall
status of a school is acceptable or unacceptable based on the total
score calculated as follows:
- Grades 3-8: 35% language arts, 35%
math, 20% science, 10% attendance
- High school: 30% language arts,
25% math, 25% science, 10% attendance, 10% graduation rate
