The State assessment system must provide individual student reports, including tests scores and other information on the attainment of student performance standards, so that teachers and parents can help individual students improve performance. Adequate yearly progress must be defined by the State to result in continuous and substantial yearly improvement in student achievement. For each school, this must take into account the assessment results of all students in the grades tested who have attended the school for at least a full academic year. For each local educational agency, it must take into account the assessment results of all students who have attended school in the district for at least a full academic year, even if they have attended multiple schools within the district. Local educational agencies are required to fulfill a number of responsibilities, including identifying for improvement schools that fail to make AYP for two consecutive years, providing technical assistance to help schools develop and implement improvement plans, and taking corrective action to improve schools that fail to make AYP for three consecutive years following identification for improvement.
