Frequency: Annually.

Next Data Available: November 2006
Data collected by state assessments are validated by the individual state's data quality standards procedures. Data will reflect information principally from LEAs with McKinney-Vento subgrants.
 
Explanation: FY 2002 data established the baseline from a one-time data collection. However, the 2002 results could not be dissaggregated by subject matter. Data was not collected in 2003. The data to be collected from states are from LEAs that have subgrantees and are capable of reporting such data. However, approximately 10 percent of all school districts receive subgrant funds.
 
Indicator 1.2 of 2: State assessment achievement: The percentage of homeless students meeting or exceeding state's proficiency level or standard in reading and mathematics.
 
Measure 1.2.1 of 1: The percentage of homeless students, grades three through eight, meeting or exceeding state proficiency standards in reading/language arts and mathematics.
