| | Hastings schools - district elementary, middle, and high school information |
 | | The federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) act is intended to hold both states and schools more accountable for student results by instituting requirements on academic growth, student assessments, teacher qualifications, and annual local report cards. |
 | | NCLB requires all districts and schools receiving Title I funds to meet state "adequate yearly progress" (AYP) goals for their total student populations and for specified demographic subgroups, including major ethnic/racial groups, economically disadvantaged students, limited English proficient (LEP) students, and students with disabilities. |
 | | If a school fails to meet AYP goals for two or more years, it is classified as a school in need of improvement and faces consequences. |
