AYP Calculation: Students disaggregated

Student demographics are required to disaggregate into the following nine groups for each AYP entity. Each group receives a separate AYP measurement:

A. All students

B. American Indian / Alaskan Native Students

C. Asian / Pacific Islander Students

D. Hispanic Students

E. Black Students, not of Hispanic Origin

F. White Students, not of Hispanic Origin

G. Limited English Proficient Students

H. Special Education Students

I. Students Eligible for Free or Reduced Price Meals

The MCA and the MARSS records have these demographics set as code values or as Y/N indicators.

The calculation disaggregates records by using the correct value or positive indicator. For example, the group ‘Students Eligible for Free or Reduced Priced Meals’ is found by selecting the records with FRP indicator equal to ‘Y’. It is not found by selecting records with FRP Indicator not equal to ‘N’. In some cases, two indicators are used to determine the constituents of a group. These indicators are described below.

For AYP 2007, the demographics will be derived from the Assessment record. In cases where the assessment record does not have a demographic attribute, the associated MARSS enrollment record demographic will be used.

LEP Group

Include records where LEP Indicator = Y

or LEP Prior Two Year Indicator = Y

Special Education Group

Include records where Special Education Indicator = Y

or Special Education Prior Two Year Indicator = Y

The expanded subgroups for LEP and Special Education have these indicators set at the beginning of each AYP calculation. The expanded indicator means the student was in the subgroup at some time in the prior two years.
