9. 9 Comparing 9 AZ Learns Legacy Additional 3-9 Points AZ Learns A-F ELL 3% How do these two sections compare to one another A-F will have ELL, Graduation and Dropout rates as 3-9 points in addition to the 100 to account for half of AZ Learns Legacy for Elementary has 3% of the overall score. Legacy for high schools has 15% allotted for ELL, Dropout and Graduation rates.

10. 10 Comparing AZ Learns A-F AZ Learns Legacy How do these two sections compare to one another MAP in the two Profiles ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT. MAP in A-F is the “Composite” score. Whereas, the MAP in the AZLearns Legacy is their individual growth components. The Legacy model uses a value added model that uses just two scores ( current years score and previous years score). The A-F model is a longitudinal regression analysis based on 1 year of data.
