Adequate Yearly Progress is determined on the basis of both participation participa-tion and performance by the total school population and by nine student subgroups identified identi-fied in the NCLB guidelines. These sub-groups are Asian, African American, American Indian, Caucasian, Hispanic, Economically Disadvantaged, Limited English Proficient, and Students with Disabilities. An individual student may belong to several sub-groups.
