I hope I am understanding this correctly. If a school does not meet AYP 2 years in a row, I can choose to send my child to a school that is passing.
Does this apply to any state. We are in Pennsylvania. My child has one more year at the elementary school, which is awesome, and the middle school that is for our township does not pass the AYP requirements.
However, I called administration and was told that our district does not allow switching schools within the district. We really do not want to move but we want a quality education for our child! We have to send them to a public school. I want to know if I have the choice to send them to a non-failing school. I live in Chattanooga, TN. I have a child in the 5th, 6th and 8th grade. Please help me I am so upset about this. Thank you Deborah. Or does he have to attend the failing school first?

You also had the choice to remain in the same poorly performing school and get tutoring — a supplemental service — but unfortunately, the District did not manage to get a list a service providers for tutoring to the parents until one day before the deadline to apply. This is an issue we are going to see more and more of as the standards keep raising, more schools are not making AYP.
It will be interesting to see what changes will be made in the future as the standards increase even more. People go into teaching because they have a strong desire to help and they like kids. This desire to help often puts teachers at odds with their school administrators. You need to present problems and concerns in a way that makes people want to help. Adequate Yearly Progress.
