(b) A school identified as a Targeted School pursuant to N.J.A.C. 6A:33-2.3(a)1 shall be eligible to no longer be identified as such if:

1. The school does not have a student subgroup with a summative score at or below the fifth percentile for Title I schools; and

2. The school demonstrates, for each student subgroup for which the school was identified as a Targeted School, improvement on an accountability indicator as compared to the subgroup's performance at the time of identification as a Targeted School. In addition to the applicable accountability indicators, the Department will also consider the following to be indicative of notable subgroup improvement:
i. Increase(s) in the percentages of students with scores on Statewide assessments that approached, met, or exceeded expectations;

ii. Subgroup academic progress scores that met or exceeded the annual target;

iii. Subgroup proficiency rates that met annual targets; and

(c) The Commissioner shall notify a school identified as a Targeted School pursuant to N.J.A.C. 6A:33-2.3(a)1 by January 31 as to whether it has met the criteria at (b) above and is eligible to cease to be identified as a Targeted School effective June 30.

(d) If a school identified as a Targeted School pursuant to N.J.A.C. 6A:33-2.3(a)1 has met some, but not all, of the criteria at (b) above, the Department may place the school on a one-year probation. After the one-year probation, the Targeted School shall be eligible to cease to be identified as a Targeted School if all of the criteria at (b) above has been met. If all of the criteria at (b) above are not met after the one-year probation, the school shall remain as a Targeted School.

(e) A Title I school identified as a Targeted School pursuant to N.J.A.C. 6A:33-2.3(a)1 for three or more consecutive years shall be designated as a Comprehensive School.
