3. AMO Background Information Overall Score 2014-15 Overall Score/Classification is determined by adding the sum of the Learners Score (77%) and the Program Review (23%) 2014-15 AMO was determined by adding Learners Score and Program Review score to obtain both an AMO and classification.

5. Calculating Overall Score High School Example: KDE:OAA:DSR:cw,ko 12/15/2015 5 PointsTotal Points Weighted Learners Score Weighted Program Review Score Overall Score Achievement58.6 x 20%=11.8 Gap35.8 x 20%=7.2 Growth58.5 x 20%=11.7 CCR69.8 x 20%=14.0 Graduation Rate90.4 x 20%=18.1 Point Total 62.8 62.8 x 77% =48.356 +22.908 =71.3

6. Overall Score (high school example continued) Overall Score = 48.356 (77% of Learners) + 22.908 (23% of Program Review) 71.3 (rounded to 1 decimal place) Proficient For this example; the Overall Score of 71.3 is proficient so the amount of increase would be 0.5.

7. New AMO (high school example continued) Total points for Learners + Amount of increase determined by classification (0.5 or 1.0) 62.8 + 0.5 (Proficient) New AMO = 63.3 Meeting the AMO is determined by increasing scores obtained from the Next Generation Learners results.

8. Graduation Rate (4 Year) Four year graduation rate is used to set new annual target. A new goal is set annually for Kentucky high schools and districts that measures progress toward the state-wide goal of 98% by 2024. The end goal changed from 2022. The 4-year Graduation Rate goal is computed by dividing by 10, the difference between the 2014 baseline percent and the goal for 2024 (98%). KDE:OAA:DSR:cw,ko 12/15/2015 8

9. Graduation Rate (4 Year) Example: 98% (2024 goal) 83% (2014 baseline) 2016 Target (86%) KDE:OAA:DSR:cw,ko 12/15/2015 9 98 – 83 = 15 15/10 = 1.5 (1.5 x 2) + 83 = 86 Note: 1.5 is multiplied by 2 because this is the second year of the target.

10. Graduation Rate (5 Year) Five year graduation rate is used at high school for 20% of the overall score. Data reported for the five year cohort is based on the prior year.

12. Assistance Enter Focus District District that has a non-duplicated student gap group score in the bottom 10% percent of non-duplicated student gap group scores for all districts for all districts. Non-duplicated student gap groups shall have at least 10 students in order for the subject area calculation. Enter Focus School Schools in the lowest 10% of non- duplicated student gap group scores by level (minimum 10 students); Individual student subgroup by level and subject that falls below bottom 5% cut scores (minimum 25 students); or High schools that have a graduation rate that has been less than 80% for two (2) consecutive years (because the 4 yr. goal increased to 80%). KDE:OAA:DSR:cw,ko 12/15/2015 12 All focus calculations shall combine two years of data when possible. New or reconfigured schools will be based on one year.

13. Priority Districts and Schools District - Has an overall score in the bottom 5% of overall scores for all districts that have failed to meet the AMO for the last 3 consecutive years School - Has an overall score in the bottom 5% of overall scores by level for all schools that have failed to meet the AMO for the last 3 consecutive years KDE:OAA:DSR:cw,ko 12/15/2015 13

Assistance Exit Priority Status Schools and Districts Meet AMO goals for 3 consecutive years No longer be identified as in the bottom 5% AND Score at or above the 80% graduation rate for 3 consecutive years. Exit Focus Status Schools Non-duplicated gap group will show improvement in the non-duplicated gap group, be above the lowest 10% AND meet AMO for 2 years in a row Individual subgroups rise above the bottom 5%, show improvement in the subgroup that triggered placement AND meet AMO for 2 years in a row Graduation rate focus group will be over 80% and meet AMO for 2 years District Non-duplicated student gap group category rise above the lowest ten (10) percent category KDE:OAA:DSR:cw,ko 12/15/2015 14
