The baseline will be established the year that the data is first available and targets will be set based upon the number of remaining years Proficiency Progress Reading and Mathematics Proficiency MatrixIn order to be considered.Are there 5 or more students within the group? If yes

In order to determine the groups progress (met or not met)Was the AMO met?

If no

Was the AMO met with the Confidence Interval?
