SPI Indicator: Achievement PreK-8 Grades 9-12  MSA Math Proficiency  MSA Reading Proficiency  MSA Science Proficiency  HSA Algebra Proficiency  HSA English Proficiency  HSA Biology Proficiency  Percentage of “all students” group scoring proficient or advanced on Maryland standardized assessments progressing toward targets 5

Achievement Targets – Reading, Mathematics and Science Proficiency  AMOs  Proficiency rates based on 2010–2011 assessments used as the baseline for setting AMOs  50% reduction of “all students” who are not proficient by 2017  Target increases in equal increments for 6 years  For “all students” at the school level with a 90% or higher baseline the corresponding LEA level AMO will be used  Unless the LEA is higher than the school level 6

PreK-8 Proficiency Population  Content areas include Reading, Mathematics, and Science  Former AYP population rules apply  Test Takers meeting the following conditions:  Full Academic Year  LEP Exempt  1% and 2% Rule for Alt and Mod assessment contributions  With the exception…  Non-participants are included WITHIN the aggregated population as Basic 7

Grades 9-12 Proficiency Population  Content areas include English, Algebra, and Biology  Former AYP population rules apply (See HSSC Manual for details)  12 Grade Population  Current 10 th Grade AltMSA population  HSA and ModHSA Scale Scores  12 th Grade Certificate students the year they earn a certificate  1% and 2% Rule for Alt and Mod assessment contributions  With the exception…  Non-participants are included WITHIN the aggregated population as Basic  Former AYP Exclusions apply (See HSSC Manual for details)  Modified HSA +Plus student scores  Student who received course credit (Status 05)  Second Semester Transfer Students (Status 08)  AltMSA Identified students in the HSSC file with Y or T indicator (AltMSA data retrieved from AltMSA vendor file)  Linking Study student scores from the May 2008 administration  Foreign Exchange students 9
