MCAS Progress and Performance Index Report 2013 Cohasset Public Schools

OVERVIEW Interpretation of the MCAS document 2013 MCAS Report Cohort History District Report by School District Level Report

Massachusetts Waiver to NCLB Target: Measured progress equal to reaching half of remaining CPI to 100% proficiency based on 2011 data MCAS assesses students on 2 major categories Performance (knowing the answers) Growth (compared to others who performed the same last year, what percentage of growth did the student achieve?)

2013 * Target date set for 2017 * Measures the PROGRESS toward proficiency to the year 2017 (PPI or Progress and Proficiency Index) * NCLB is Cumulative CPI based on the last 4 years with 2010 (10%), 2011 (20%), 2012 (30%), 2013 (40%) / 10

* Measures Performance and Growth within a comparable group/school and awards a percentile of achievement with 75% as the required * All special needs, lower income, and ELL are grouped together in a High Needs category * Groups are by building, not grade span—grades 6-12 are now considered one group Components of the Assessment:

* Top 80% performing schools are labeled Level 1 or 2; Bottom 20% are Levels 3, 4, or 5 and require state assistance * Measurement of PPI is calculated using the CPI for only 2 groups: All Students and High Needs Group (Special Needs, ELL, etc.)

The Parent/Guardian Report includes a student growth percentile which is a measure of student progress that compares changes in a student’s MCAS scores to students with similar 2012 achievement profiles (All Advanced, or All Proficient, or All Needs Improvement, etc.

Level Classification1 to 5 80% of the total schools are placed in Levels 1 to 5 20% of the total schools are in Levels 3 to 5, depending on the degree of need for intervention Level 1 is assigned to groups that meet the 75% target for this year and are in the 90+%ile rating overall for the district. Cohasset has at least 1 subgroup not meeting the target of 75%. This assigns the district the same status –Level 2 even though the district is in the 96% percentile statewide.

Extra Points (PPI ) are given for the following: 75 for meeting the 80 th percentile in all groups 100 for meeting the 90 th percentile in all groups Meeting the CPI target or going above, etc. in each individual group Narrowing the Proficiency Gap Showing Growth 4-year Cohort Graduation Rate Annual Dropout Rate

Extra Credit PPI’s FOR PERFORMANCE: 25 Points for raising the A/P ratings in any group by 10% OR lowering the NI/W by 10% 100 PPI Points for exceeding annual target by 1.25 points (“Above Target” Label) 75 PPI Points for being “On Target” by + or – PPI Points for only a slight decline on no more than -2.5 or having no change Student Growth Percentile Points: 100 Points for “Above Target” growth when the median growth is 60 points for higher 75 Points for “On Target” with the median growth between 51 – 59 points 50 Points for “Improved Below Target” for a median SGP from Points for “No Change” with the median growth between 31 – 40

Extra Credit PPI’s FOR GROWTH (SGP): 100 Points for showing +15 Points of Growth in the group/district SGP 75 Points for showing 10 – 14 Points of Growth in the group / district SGP 50 Points for remaining at the “No Change” status of 1 – 9 Points of Growth in the SGP

District Results

“75” Target Calculation: 100 students take the test. 70 of them achieve Proficient status so each student is given a score of 75 points toward PPI (70 x 75=5250) 30 of them achieve Advance status so each student is given a score of 100 (30 x 100=3000) The total scores/points ( =8250) is divided by the number of students who took the assessment (8250/100) resulting in an annual PPI or 82.5
