State Education Department (SED).
To be removed from the SINI list, a school must meet specific requirements called Annual Measurable

science (in grades 3-8). If all objectives are
achieved, then a school has met Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP).
If a school meets AYP for two consecutive years in the categories
