Under the No Child Left Behind Act, all public school campuses, districts, and the state are evaluated for "Adequate Yearly Progress" or "AYP". For 2009, all 69 Cypress-Fairbanks campuses were gauged and given "Met Adequate Yearly Progress" status by the Texas Education Agency on December 15th.

To meet eligibility for AYP, districts needed to exhibit 67 percent performance and 95 percent participation in TAKS Reading/English Language Arts; 58 percent performance and 95 percent participation in TAKS Mathematics; and a 70 percent graduation rate/90 percent attendance rate.

Towne Lake is proud to note that Cy-Fair I.S.D. scored 97 percent in English/Language Arts performance with 99 percent in participation and 92 percent in Math performance with 100 percent participation. Cy-Fair's graduation rate for the Class of 2008 was 86.4 percent.

Dr. Rayyan Amine, Senior Director of Campus Improvement and Research's response:

"We are very proud that 100 percent of our campuses met AYP for 2009 even though the standards from 2008 to 2009 increased 7 percent in Reading and 8 percent in Math. Our goal for 2010 is to sustain significant achievement as standards continue to rise by 6 percent in reading and 9 percent in math."

Towne Lake children can look forward to challenging curricula in an adaptive and dynamic school district for years to come!
