Accountability Report Dedham Public Schools October 3,

Accountability information from the DESE: Massachusetts applied for and then received a waiver of certain NCLB requirements:  New Goal: reduce proficiency gap by half by 2017  Elimination of improvement, corrective action and restructuring labels  State accountability and assistance levels reported for schools, districts and now charter schools  AYP replaced by PPI  High Needs subgroup created  Students with disabilities, ELL learners, and low income students no longer counted more than once 2

What are the major reporting changes for 2012? NCLB goal of 100 percent proficient replaced with new goal of reducing proficiency gaps by half by 2017 NCLB accountability status labels eliminated -> only using accountability & assistance levels for all schools AYP has been replaced with a new performance measure (PPI) that incorporates student growth, science, & other indicators. 3

What are the major reporting changes for 2012? (continued) Data reported for new “high needs” subgroup, an unduplicated count of all students belonging to any of these subgroups: low income, students with disabilities, English language learner/former English language learner School percentile reported, indicating school’s overall performance on PPI indicators relative to other schools in same grade span 4

What are some key PPI concepts? PPI is a measure of progress toward a group’s own gap-narrowing goals Annual PPI indicates progress from one year to the next Cumulative PPI represents a trend over time The PPI Scale runs from 0 to exceeds target 75= on target 50 = improvement below target 25 = no change 0 = decline 5

6 Throughout the Commonwealth schools and districts received a Level rating from 1 (on track to college & career readiness) to 5 (chronically underperforming schools), based upon their effectiveness in closing the proficiency gap of struggling students while continuing to raise the proficiency level of high- achieving students. Approximately 80% of Massachusetts schools are now classified into Levels 1 or 2 based on the aggregate and high needs PPI. Dedham is a Level 2 District. Level 2 = Not meeting gap closing goals but requiring LOW DESE Engagement

What are some key Level concepts? Most schools and districts are classified into a level based on a four-year trend Districts are classified based on the level of lowest-performing school (exception made for Board action) School percentiles (1-99) represent performance relative to other schools in the grade span, and are used to determine Level 3 schools (i.e. the lowest-performing 20% of all schools in the state) Levels released in response to requests from field for greater transparency 7

Note: The Early Childhood Center does not administer MCAS. This is reported as “Insufficient Data” by the state. 8 District Results
