Making sense of Adequate Yearly Progress delmarvanow.com The Daily Times:

"Public education is not without its fair share of acronyms: NCLB for No Child Left Behind, SOL for Standards of Learning and the ever-confusing AYP for adequate yearly progress based on the AMO, which is annual measurable objectives.

Regardless of the acronym, it is important to know that all public schools in the nation must meet specific benchmarks set by the U.S. Department of Education and by 2014, all children must pass mathematics and English/reading tests administered by the schools."
