Part B State Performance Plan
The anticipated State average percentage point gain for mathematics is 6.52; therefore, the
target for 2010-11 is 51.14%.
FFY 2011
AMO
Combined literacy and mathematics AMO target is 17.15%.
Arkansas was granted ESEA Flexibility in June of 2012. To access a complete set of
Arkansas’s ESEA-Flexibility documents go to
Arkansas’s ESEA Flexibility plan
The goal of the Arkansas flexibility plan is to reduce proficiency gaps by half by 2017. To
achieve that goal the following have been implemented:
New accountability levels based on new Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) for
schools and districts based on performance or growth.
o Schools must meet their individualized math and literacy AMOs for the All
Students and the Targeted Achievement Gap Group (TAGG) or meet the
established growth AMOs for the same groups.
o High schools must meet a graduation rate AMO for the All Students and the
TAGG. Graduation rate will be weighted more heavily under this new system
than previously.
• Enhanced focus on subgroups through the TAGG. The use of the TAGG will hold more
districts accountable for students who are in more than one subgroup and in particularly
for economically disadvantaged students, ELL and SWD.
• Performance (proficiency), growth and graduation rate indicators use a minimum N of 25
o By lowering the N to 25 and focusing on the TAGG:
895 schools not accountable for SWD were reduced to only 28.
968 schools not accountable for ELL students were reduced to only 28.
75 schools not accountable for economically disadvantaged students were
reduced to 28.
o AMO is calculated for the combined TAGG and each subgroup individually.
Participation
In accordance with NCLB, the participation target is 95%.
Performance Proficiency
The anticipated State average percentage point gain for literacy is 6.41; therefore, the target
for 2011-12 is 45.22%.
