Establishing Targets: Content Areas Reading, Math and Science50% Reduction of gap between highest and lowest performing subgroups by 2017

Target increases in equal increments for 6 years

20102011 assessment results used as the baseline year for setting AMOs

For the purpose of calculating an overall index score, the Current Year and Baseline Year % Proficient for Gap is defined as 1 Gap percentage

Minimum count of 20 students7
