Star Rating Part 2 Growth, Graduation Rates and College and Career Readiness

Student Growth Model Mathematical Model Developed by Dr. Damian Betebenner Used by over 30 States, including Idaho PROVIDED BY THE IDAHO STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

SY1415 Growth Model Update Biennial Student Growth will be calculated for Individual Reporting Purposes Only ISAT Reading scores will be mapped to new ISAT (Smarter Balanced) ELA scores Significant Correlation of 0.93 between ISAT Reading and Language Usage Some states have always calculated biennial growth (i.e. between 8 th and 10 th ) PROVIDED BY THE IDAHO STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

Student Growth Percentile Model Percentile Rank = 75 th This student’s grade 4 score is at or above 75 percent of his academic peers. Percentile Rank = 42 nd This student’s grade 4 score is at or above 42 percent of his academic peers. Grade 5 Score What is the percentile rank of a student compared to students with similar score histories? Grade 3 Score

A Student must have: SY1415 Scale Score SY1213 Core Score One Score per Subject Combination of the performance task (PT) and computer adaptive test (CAT) for Math and ELA Advanced in grade level as expected Unduplicated EDUID PROVIDED BY THE IDAHO STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION To Calculate SGP

SY1415 Growth Model Update (Cont.) Adequate Growth Percentile (AGP) cannot be calculated ⁻In order to make growth predictions, we first need to understand the probability distribution and growth toward proficiency Neither SGP nor AGP will be used to determine SY1516 School Improvement Status PROVIDED BY THE IDAHO STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

Misreported exit reason and/or exit dates for district cohort seniors: Proper coding for cohort seniors who have graduated are 4A-Regular Graduate or 4F- Alternative Route Regular Graduate. For Example: If cohort seniors are coded as 1A – Same School – indicating that the student will return in the fall, it will dramatically affect the district’s graduation rate Duplicate EDUID For Example: Students may not be counted in the current cohort’s graduation rate calculations if they have duplicate EDUIDs PROVIDED BY THE IDAHO STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Common Issues

PROVIDED BY THE IDAHO STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Advanced Opportunities

Advanced Opportunities data for all juniors and seniors received from districts are populated through ISEE. Enrollment data are populated through the May ISEE upload. Each student is only counted once, and each student’s best score and course name/number attached are used. Students who receive a “Pass” in a Tech Prep “Pass/Fail” course are considered to have received a “C or better.” Non-diploma seeking foreign exchange students are exempted from Advanced Opportunities through appeals. The order of importance once all scores have been submitted: 1. AP (if no passing score, move to next test); 2. Dual Credit (if no passing score, move to next test); 3. IB (if no passing score, move to next test); 4. Tech Prep PROVIDED BY THE IDAHO STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
