What is Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) associated with?

Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is associated with meeting state academic goals. AYP was established under the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 and requires schools to demonstrate progress in student achievement based on standardized test scores and other academic indicators. The primary focus of AYP is to ensure that all students, regardless of their background, are receiving a quality education and making measurable progress toward meeting educational standards set by the state.

The other options pertain to different aspects of education but do not directly relate to AYP. Improving athletic performances is not connected to academic achievements or progress indicators. Reducing class sizes is more about classroom management and potentially enhancing the learning environment rather than measuring academic progress. Enhancing technology in schools could improve teaching and learning but does not inherently measure student achievement outcomes in the same way that AYP does.
