School Performance Profile and PVAAS

 Federal accountability and PA law dictate that school effectiveness must be measured looking at multiple things – SPP assigns schools a score based on multiple factors  SPP allows us to: ◦ Set goals ◦ Plan ◦ Allocate resources ◦ Compare with other schools  These numbers go into teacher and principal evaluations

BHSHMSMESPESWES  A score of 70 or higher is considered ‘strong’ by the state  Scores close to the max score of 100 would be earned by ‘highly effective’ schools (can earn up to 7pts extra credit)

50% of the School Academic Performance Score is comprised of three areas:  40 % Indicators of Academic Achievement  5 % Indicators of ALL Students Closing the Achievement Gap  5 % Indicators of Closing the Achievement Gap - Historically Underperforming Students

 40% of the School Academic Performance Score ◦ Indicators of Academic Growth/PVAAS - Measures the school’s impact on the academic progress of groups of students from year-to-year.  10% of the School Academic Performance Score ◦ Other Academic Indicators - Assesses factors that contribute to student achievement (e.g., graduation rate, promotion rate, attendance rate).

 Measures a student's performance at one single point in time  Highly correlated with a student's demographics  Compares student performance to a standard  Critical to a student's post-secondary opportunities

ACHIEVEMENT SCORES – How many of our kids are proficient in…  PSSAs, Keystones, NOCTI/NIMS (career schools)?  Grade 3 Reading?  SAT Scores?

CLOSING THE GAP – The state wants us to have half as many non-proficient kids in six years than we have now. Are we on track? (ex: if we are 40% proficient now, we need to be 70% proficient six years from now, growing 5% a year to reach that goal)  SPP looks at all students  SPP looks at Historically Underperforming – group made of economically disadvantaged, special education, and ESL

 Measures a student's growth across time; i.e., across years  Not related to a student's demographics  Compares student performance to his/her own prior performance  Critical to ensuring a student's future academic success  By measuring students' academic achievement AND growth, schools and districts have a more comprehensive picture of their own effectiveness in raising student achievement.

 Have many kids proficient  Continue to move non-proficient kids to proficient each year  ‘Grow’ kids beyond the expectations of the state data model  Have high graduation/promotion rate (kids aren’t failing)  Have high attendance rate  Offer advanced courses  Provide opportunity to take PSAT/PLAN test

 Focus on growth – we have to move our kids beyond what is expected of them – this growth will raise our growth score on the SPP and lead to higher achievement scores, which will raise our achievement scores  Close the gap – continue to focus on moving kids to proficient, taking small steps each year  Increase our graduation/promotion/attendance rates  Offer more advanced courses
