No Child Left Behind Annual Yearly Progress Information for Wake County Public School System
August 8, 2011 - No Child Left Behind (NCLB) guidelines stipulate that Title I schools, that have not met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) targets for two consecutive years in the same subject, enter Title I School Improvement. The schools are required to notify parents of their option to attend a school that is not in Title I School Improvement (Choice Option) at least 14 days prior to the beginning of the next school year. Students will be able to attend the choice school until they complete 5th grade. Transportation will be provided as long as the sending school remains in Title I School Improvement.
For more information about AYP and Title I School Improvement, please follow the links below.
Based on 2010-2011 AYP results, letters have been sent to parents of students in year-round schools, currently in School Improvement (SI) or at risk of entering SI. Traditional calendar schools will send preliminary notifications toward the end of May.
Please note parent options outlined below.

The following year round schools may be required to offer the Choice Option for the 2011-2012 school year: Durant Road Elementary, Green Elementary and Wilburn Elementary.
Parents at schools that have not met all of the targets for 3 consecutive years, are able to select the Choice Option OR Supplemental Educational Services (SES – free tutoring after school).
