The document provides a presentation on Middlesex County Public Schools' (MCPS) Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) data from 2009-2011. It summarizes that:
1) MCPS made significant gains but did not make AYP at the division level due to missing two indicators for students with disabilities in history.
2) All three schools - Middlesex Elementary, St. Clare Walker Middle, and Middlesex High - made AYP for the first time.
3) Subgroup performance improved substantially in reading and math for African Americans, students with disabilities, and economically disadvantaged students.
