Proficiency Cut Scores
2011-2012 AYP proficiency cut scores for the Iowa Assessments are determined in the Standard Score metric specific to grade, content, and time of year (fall, midyear, spring). They represent the same level of achievement as the previous cut scores. These cut scores should be considered preliminary until final approval is received from the United States Department of Education.
