  **Program      **To assist all migrant students in meeting challenging
  Goal:**        academic standards and achieving graduation from high
                 school (or a GED program) with an education that
                 prepares them for responsible citizenship, further
                 learning, and productive employment.**

  ***Objective 1 of 2:***   *Along with other federal programs and state and local
                            reform efforts, the Migrant Education Program (MEP) will
                            contribute to improved school performance of migrant
                            children.*

**Source**. U.S. Department of Education, Consolidated State Performance
Report.

**Frequency of Data Collection**. Annual

**Data Quality**. Information that directly measures the impact of the
Title I, Migrant Education Program is not available. However, each state
has its own assessment to measure and determine student proficiency.
Student achievement across the states cannot be compared directly, but
the results for migrant students can be tracked over time, providing the
state proficiency levels and assessments\' content remain consistent and
the disaggregation of assessment data by subgroup is accurate. This
measure will have greater validity and reliability over time as state
assessment systems stabilize, include all migrant students in testing,
and properly disaggregate and report results.

**Explanation**. The annually set state targets for 2002 through 2008
project the number of states that attain a performance threshold of 50
percent or more of elementary school level migrant students at the
proficient or advanced level in reading. Once 80 percent of all states
have met the performance threshold of 50 percent of migrant students at
or above the proficient level, the performance threshold will be raised
in increments of 5 percent and the annually set state targets will
project an increase in the number of states meeting the new threshold.
The progress of states can be viewed by also examining the number of
states that have increased the percentage of migrant students at the
proficient or advanced level in reading in 2004 up from 2003. In that
regard, 15 out of 23 states demonstrated a positive percent increase in
proficiency or above in grade three, 23 out of 27 states in grade four,
and 11 out of 22 states in grade five.

Report.

**Data Quality**. Information that directly measures the impact of the
Title I, Migrant Education Program is not available. However, each state
has its own assessment to measure and determine student proficiency.
Student achievement across the states cannot be compared directly, but
the results for migrant students can be tracked over time, providing the
state proficiency levels and assessments\' content remain consistent and
the disaggregation of assessment data by subgroup is accurate. This
measure will have greater validity and reliability over time as state
assessment systems stabilize, include all migrant students in testing,
and properly disaggregate and report results.

**Explanation**. The annually set state targets for 2002 through 2008
project the number of states that attain a performance threshold of 50
percent or more of elementary school level migrant students at the
proficient or advanced level in mathematics. Once 80 percent of all
states have met the performance threshold of 50 percent of migrant
students at or above the proficient level, the performance threshold
will be raised in increments of 5 percent and the annually set state
targets will project an increase in the number of states meeting the new
threshold. The progress of states can be viewed by also examining the
number of states that have increased the percentage of migrant students
at the proficient or advanced level in mathematics in 2004 up from 2003.
In that regard, 12 out of 19 states demonstrated a positive percent
increase in proficiency or above in grade three, 19 out of 27 states in
grade four, and 12 out of 22 states in grade five.

Title I, Migrant Education Program is not available. However, each state
must report an annual graduation rate for students who graduate from a
public high school with a diploma. This measure will have greater
validity and reliability over time as state procedures for
disaggregating and reporting all migrant students who graduate
stabilize.

**Explanation**. The annually set state targets for 2004 through 2008
project the number of states that attain a performance threshold of 50
percent or more migrant students graduating from high school. Once 80
percent of all states have met the performance threshold of 50 percent
or more migrant students graduating from high school, the performance
threshold will be increased in increments of 5 percent and the annually
set state targets will project an increase in the number of states
meeting the new threshold.

  ***Objective 2 of 2:***   *Along with other federal programs and state and local
                            reform efforts, the Migrant Education Program (MEP) will

**Frequency of Data Collection**. Annual

**Data Quality**. Each state will be required to provide the national
Migrant Student Information Exchange (MSIX) with minimum education and
health data for migrant students who enroll in more than one state so
that the records of migrant students may be consolidated and shared in a
timely fashion. Information will be consolidated in three phases
starting with basic student information in phase one, including
assessment results in phase two, and finally collecting credit accrual
information in phase three. This measure will have greater validity and
reliability over time as state procedures for collecting and providing
the minimum data elements stabilize.

**Explanation**. This is a new measure of program efficiency. A
consolidated migrant student record contains the minimum information
from the various schools in which a migrant student has previously
enrolled to assist the new school to make decisions about school
enrollment, course placement, and credit accrual in a timely manner. The
annually set targets for 2007 through 2009 project an increase in the
percentage of migrant students who have a consolidated migrant students
record with basic student information.
