How Illinois Calculates AYPAdequate Yearly Progress (AYP) calculations in Illinois are now based on three factors:

  1- The percent of reading and math scores that meet or exceed standards, compared to the annual state targets;

  2-The participation rate of students in taking the state tests, which must meet or exceed 95%; and

  3-The attendance rates of students in elementary and middle schools, and the graduation rates of students in high schools, which must meet or exceed the state's annual targets.
