  **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 1:***   *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.*

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 in moving toward a target can be viewed by
examining the number of states that have increased the percentage of
migrant students at the proficient or advanced level in reading in 2004
upward from the previous year (2003). In that regard, 14 out of 21
states demonstrated a positive increase in the percent proficient or
above in grade three, 23 out of 27 states in grade four, and 11 out of
22 states in grade five.

**Source**. U.S. Department of Education, Consolidated State Performance
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 target 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 in moving toward a target can be
viewed by examining the number of states that have increased the
percentage of migrant students at the proficient or advanced level
in mathematics in 2004 upward from the previous year (2003). In that
regard, 12 out of 19 states demonstrated a positive increase in the
percent proficient or above in grade three, 19 out of 27 states in grade
four, and 12 out of 22 states in grade five.

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
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.
