The federal No Child Left Behind Act requires schools to make "adequate yearly progress," or AYP, in reading and math test scores, the number of students who take standardized tests and attendance or graduation rates. Schools that fail to meet those standards for two consecutive years are named to the Oklahoma School Improvement List and face a variety of sanctions, including transfers. Likewise, it takes two consecutive years of making AYP for a school to be removed from the list.
