Do schools and school districts have to reach performance targets in both reading and math to make AYP?
A. Yes, all subgroups with 30 or more students in both 2002 and 2003 must meet the targets (except for the Economically Disadvantaged subgroup as no data was collected in 2001-2002 at the state level). Separate AYP determinations must be made in reading and math. If a school district or school does not reach performance targets in both reading and math, it has not made AYP. However, if the school or district can meet Safe Harbor requirements, discussed below, they can make AYP.
