*The No Child Left Behind Act focuses on high-need school districts. The federal definition of high-need addresses issues of poverty and of teacher quality, because these issues have been most closely linked to low student performance. Local school districts must meet both criteria to be considered high-need. In Missouri, high-need eligibility adopts federal standards for poverty level and uses MAP student achievement in math and/or science as a proxy for teacher quality. The MAP test has five achievement levels: Step 1, Progressing, Nearing Proficiency, Proficiency and Advanced.  Average index scores range from 100 to 300 and reflect a distribution of students at different achievement levels. An Average Index Score of 100 means that 100% of the students performed at the lowest level (“Step One”), and a score of 300 means 100% of the students performed at the highest level (“Advanced”).  An index score of 223 or below was used to indicate that more students performed in the lower three levels than in the highest two levels (proficiency and advanced).
