AMARILLO, TEXAS -- 95% of the schools in Amarillo ISD met the adequate yearly progress or AYP Federal standards.

Only two campuses didn't meet the guideline Tascosa and Fannin didn't meet the requirements but only in one subgroup, that of special education students.

Caprock did meet the requirements for the first time in four years, thanks to a 20% increase in math scores.

All of the schools in Canyon met the requirements in fact only four districts and eight campuses in the Panhandle missed the standards, but what do these labels mean do they actually tell you how your kids school is doing?

The hotline team here at ProNews has been looking into that and found out they might not tell the entire story.

We'll have an in depth report coming up at 10 p.m. on Sunday.
