For each public school and school district, the department shall calculate a unique student achievement progress goal that results in all students demonstrating proficiency by the 2032-2033 school year. To achieve that long-term goal, the department shall set interim goals at the five-year mark and ten-year mark. The interim goals must be set so that by the 2024-2025 school year, each school and each subgroup of students are performing at the level of the fiftieth percentile school from the 2017-2018 English language arts and mathematics state summative assessments, respectively. The department shall set unique student achievement progress goals for each school and each subgroup to attain the 2017-2018 English language arts and math proficiency levels, respectively, of the seventy-fifth percentile school by the 2029-2030 school year. Following the 2024-2025 school year, the department shall set annual targets using the same methodology referenced in § 24:55:05:03 to reach the proficiency level of the school at the seventy-fifth percentile in English language arts and math from the 2017-2018 school year. Following the 2029-2030 school year, the department shall again set annual targets to reach one hundred percent proficiency.
