Alternative School Accountability in Alaska NCSA Conference – Philadelphia, PA June 20, 2016 Margaret MacKinnon Director of Assessment & Accountability

A little about education in Alaska 507 schools in 54 districts Statewide PK-12 enrollment of about 132,000 students Districts range in size from 13 to more than 48,000 students 67.7% of students are in just four districts

Alternative Schools Statewide, from Barrow to Ketchikan 24 schools in 11 districts 15 alternative high schools 8 schools operated in Division of Juvenile Justice youth facilities 1 school operated for students housed in adult correctional complex in Anchorage Note: Schools operated in youth or correctional facilities were added to the definition of alternative schools in 2013-2014

Alternative schools across the state

Alaska School Performance Index Overall score and star-rating from 1- to 5-stars (5 highest) Grades 9-12 weighted indicators: Academic achievement (20%) School progress (40%) Attendance (10%) Graduation Rate (20%) College & Career Readiness (10%)

ASPI Ratings in 2012-2013 First ASPI ratings released in August, 2013 Metric did not differentiate between alternative schools - all clustered in the bottom range of the star ratings Alternative schools saw no clear path to improve Metric created disincentive to enroll very students alt schools were designed to serve Mathematically implausible to achieve an ASPI rating above 3-stars

273 non-alternative schools with grade 12 2012-2013 ASPI ratings 273 non-alternative schools with grade 12 15 alternative schools

The catalyst for change Alaska State Alternative Schools Association formed a working group in cooperation with the Department of Education staff. The group: Examined the indicators where the disparities were greatest – attendance rate, graduation rate, and academic achievement. Determined the indicator where alternative schools make a significant positive impact on students – school progress.

Two Types of Changes Proposed for Alternative Schools ASPI Modify points for attendance & graduation rates to better reflect reality but also serve as stretch goals to provide incentives for these schools to continue to improve in these areas. Adjust weights of academic achievement and school progress to better reflect the areas in which alternative schools have the greatest ability to impact student performance.

Points earned on each ASPI indicator based on table of values Point Value Tables Points earned on each ASPI indicator based on table of values Point values structured to provide incentives for schools to reach targets Attendance - incentive to maintain 93% or higher attendance rate Attendance rate Points 96.00% - 100% 100 93.00% - 95.99% 95 90.00% - 92.99% 80 85.00% - 89.99% 50 70.00% - 84.99% 25 Below 70.00%

Alternative Schools Attendance rate Attendance Rates Traditional Schools Alternative Schools Attendance rate Points 96.00% - 100% 100 93.00% - 95.99% 95 90.00% - 92.99% 80 85.00% - 89.99% 50 70.00% - 84.99% 25 Below 70.00% Alternative Schools Attendance rate Points 88.00%-100% 100 83.00-87.99% 95 78.00%-82.99% 80 73.00-77.99% 50 65.00%-72.99% 25 Below 65.00%

ASPI Weightings Adjusted Category Traditional Schools Alternative Schools Academic Achievement 20% 10% School Progress 40% 50% Attendance Rate Graduation rate College & Career Readiness Indicator Total 100%

Effects of Changes - Success! EED released preliminary ASPI ratings for alternative schools based on the modified model on August 1, 2014. 2013-2014 ASPI ratings showed greater differentiation among alternative schools

273 non-alternative schools with grade 12 2012-2013 ASPI ratings 273 non-alternative schools with grade 12 15 alternative schools

264 non-alternative schools with grade 12 2013-2014 ASPI ratings 264 non-alternative schools with grade 12 24 alternative schools

Changes Change in star rating Count of schools +4 1 +3 +2 6 +1 +2 6 +1 No change 10 -1 -2 Total 24 Median change in ASPI score = 11.67 points ASPI score increased for 22 of 24 alternative schools subject to modified model
