Five districts measure up in federal AYP assessment

Five Johnson County school districts, including Cleburne ISD, met the adequate yearly Progress provisions of the federal No Child Left Behind Act, according to 2009 data released by Texas Education Agency on Friday.

Every Cleburne campus, including TEAM school, met AYP.

Under the provisions of the federal law, all public school campuses, school districts and the state are evaluated for progress in three areas: reading and language arts, mathematics, and either graduation rate, for high schools and districts, or attendance rate, for elementary and middle or junior high school.

The Texas Projection Measure, a new part of the Texas school accountability system, was used in the AYP evaluations. Under the TPM, students are evaluated based on projections of their future performance on state standardized tests.

Other county districts making AYP were Burleson, Godley, Grandview and Joshua.
