1. Merrymount Elementary School PTO Assessment Presentation December 4, 2014

2. Composite Performance Index (CPI) Advanced (100 points) Proficient (100 points) High Needs Improvement (75 points) Low Needs Improvement (50 points) High Warning (25 points) Low Warning (0 points)

3. Student Growth Percentile (SGP) Each student’s rate of change is compared to other students with a similar test score history (“academic peers”) The rate of change is expressed as a percentile Typical student growth percentiles are between about 40 and 60

4. Progress and Performance Index (PPI) PPI measures several indicators At the elementary level, we are most concerned with: Achievement (CPI) Growth/Improvement (SGP)

5. Closing the Proficiency Gap 2011 ELA Baseline = 88.5 6 Year ELA Goal = 94.3 2011 Math Baseline = 87.4 6 Year Math Goal = 93.7 2011 Science Baseline = 86.4 6 Year Science Goal = 93.2

16. Review of 2013-2014 SMART Goals “A little reflection will show us that every belief, even the simplest and most fundamental, goes beyond experience when regarded as a guide to our actions.” -William Kingdon Clifford

17. ELA Goal #1 During the 2013-2014 school year, students will demonstrate a growing understanding of increasingly complex text. This will be evident by an increase of 2% or more on the school-wide average percent correct in the College and Career Readiness Anchor Standard for English Language Arts from a base of 75% as measured by the 2014 MCAS Standards Report.

19. Math Goal #2 During the 2013-2014 school year, students will demonstrate an increased ability to persevere and use reasoning to solve increasingly complex math tasks as related to open response type questions. This will be evident by an increase of 2% or more on the school-wide average percent correct from a base of 68%, as measured by the 2014 Mathematics MCAS Standards Report.
