School Notes:

No Child Left Behind AYP Criteria
Accountability is central to the success of the No Child Left Behind Act: states need to set high standards for improving academic achievement in order to improve the quality of education for all students.
Under the NCLBA, each state establishes a definition of "adequate yearly progress" (AYP) to use each year to determine the achievement of each school.
No Child Left Behind requires states and schools to give parents easy-to-read, detailed report cards on schools, telling them which schools are succeeding and why.
Atchison Catholic Elementary School is one such school; every year, since the No Child Left Behind Act was passed in 2002, the Atchison Catholic Elementary School has met the standards set by the Kansas State Board of Education.
