	E.	achievement information for math, reading or language arts, and science disaggregated by race, ethnicity, disability, gender, migrant status, English proficiency, and status as economically disadvantaged, except in cases where numbers are too small to be statistically robust or where the results would reveal personally identifiable information about an individual student

This information must be disseminated annually, not later than the beginning of the school year, to all buildings and all parents, and made widely available through public means such as posting on the Internet and distribution to local media and public agencies. Distribution to parents should be in an understandable format and in a language the parents can understand.
