Achievement Targets Reading, Mathematics and Science ProficiencyAMOsProficiency rates based on 20102011 assessments used as the baseline for setting AMOs

50% reduction of all students who are not proficient by 2017

Target increases in equal increments for 6 years

For all students at the school level with a 90% or higher baseline the corresponding LEA level AMO will be usedUnless the LEA is higher than the school level

For combined schools AMOs will be reported by span6PreK-8 Proficiency PopulationContent areas include Reading, Mathematics, and Science
