ESEA (Formerly AYP)  Federal Accountability  August  0 – 100, A – F  One per school (includes a breakdown by grade band)  Two Components: ◦ Test Participation (95%) ◦ Test Performance  Third Component for High Schools: ◦ On-time Graduation Rate Report Cards  State Accountability  November  Excellent, Good, etc.  One per grade band  ESEA data & more: ◦ Absolute Rating ◦ Growth Rating ◦ Comparison to other schools ◦ Teacher data ◦ Principal data ◦ Narrative ◦ Satisfaction Survey

 New schools DO receive a report card after the first year of operation.  Schools earn an ABSOLUTE rating and a GROWTH rating for each grade band (elementary, middle, and high): ◦ Excellent, Good, Average, Below Average, At-Risk  Basis for Ratings: ◦ High schools – HSAP & EOC performance, on-time and 5- year graduation rates ◦ Elementary and Middle schools: PASS & EOC performance ◦ Primary schools: other criteria such as prime instructional time, student-teacher ratio, etc.

Under AYP:  Percent Proficient  Yes or No  Equal weighting  ELA & Math  Attendance rate used  Met or Not Met Under Waiver:  Mean of all scores  Partial credit  Adjusted weights  Four core subjects  Attendance not used  A, B, C, D, F

AMO = Annual Measurable Objective  1 = Met AMO  = Did not meet AMO but improved over previous year  0 = Did not meet AMO & did not improve 2014 AMOsElemMidHigh ELA Math Science Soc Stud Grad RateN/A ~75.1

Weightings  ELA Performance: 35% (Elem/MS), 22.5% (HS)  Math Performance: 35% (Elem/MS), 22.5% (HS)  *Science Performance: 5%  *Social Studies Performance: 5%  ELA Participation: 10% (Elem/MS), 7.5% (HS)  Math Participation: 10% (Elem/MS), 7.5% (HS)  *Graduation Rate: 30% (HS) *High school calculations use the previous year’s results for EOC performance and graduation rate.

Grade Conversions  A =  B =  C =  D =  F = Below 60 Potential changes to the Charter School Law may automatically close schools that earn an F for three consecutive years.

Test Participation o If a student is enrolled on the first day of testing, he or she MUST take the test o The goal is 95% participation overall and in every subgroup (gender, ethnicity, etc.) o Applies to PASS and HSAP Test Performance o PASS & HSAP: Students’ scores only count if they are enrolled continuously from the 45 th day through the first day of testing o HSAP: Only students in the 2 nd year cohort count o EOC: Every score counts

 All students  Male  Female  White  African American  Asian/Pacific Islander  Hispanic  American Indian/Alaskan  Disabled  Limited English Proficiency  Subsidized meals

 Report Cards ◦ All students & any subgroup >= 10  ESEA ◦ Performance & Participation >= 30* ◦ Graduation rate subgroups >= 10 ◦ Grad rate “all students” >= 1 * Subgroup size is determined by school, not by grade span or by test subject area. In some instances data will be reported for subgroups between 10 and 30 students.

o 9GR is the code which identifies the year a student FIRST entered the 9 th grade ◦ , 9GR = 12 ◦ , 9GR = 13 ◦ , 9GR = 14 o You must have evidence to show when the student was in 8 th grade ◦ Report Card, Letter from MS Principal, or SUNS History o Implications for HSAP participation and graduation rates
