Safe Harbor in NCLB - ✔✔if a school misses state progress goals for the
percentage of proficient students, but at the same time succeeds in reducing the number
of students below proficient by at least 10 percent from the prior year, the school still
makes AYP.
This
improvement, combined with making progress on the other academic indicators and
meeting the participation rate requirement, can also yield the determination that a school
has made adequate progress.
Every state uses this approach in its accountability decisions.
