Accountability data overview July 2013
Topics Overview of Progress & Performance Index and Accountability & Assistance Level data • Measures • Reports • Resources and tools Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
What were the major changes for 2012? • NCLB goal of 100 percent proficient replaced by new goal of reducing proficiency gaps by half by 2017 • NCLB accountability status labels replaced by state’s accountability & assistance levels (Levels 1-5) • AYP replaced by new performance measure (Progress & Performance Index - PPI) that incorporates student growth, science, & other indicators Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
State performance targets under NCLB Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
What were the major changes for 2012? (continued) • Data reported for new “high needs” subgroup, an unduplicated count of all students belonging to any of these subgroups: low income, students with disabilities, English language learner/former English language learner • School percentile reported, representing school’s overall performance on PPI indicators relative to other schools of the same school type Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
What are some key PPI concepts? • The PPI is a measure of progress toward a group’s gap-narrowing goals • Annual PPI shows progress over two years • Cumulative PPI represents trend over time • Core indicators (up to 7) • ELA, math, & science proficiency gap narrowing (CPI) • ELA & math growth (SGP) • Annual dropout rate • Cohort graduation rate (4-and 5-year) • Extra credit for reducing percentage of students scoring Warning/Failing or increasing percentage of students scoring Advanced (10 percent or more) • PPI runs from 0-100: 75 considered to be On Target Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
Annual PPI = total points / # core indicatorsCumulative PPI = (2010*1 + 2011*2 + 2012*3 + 2013*4) / 10 Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
What are some key Level concepts? • Schools and districts are classified into a level based on a four-year trend • The cumulative PPI for all students and high needs students is used to classify schools into Levels 1 & 2 • School percentiles (1-99) represent performance relative to other schools of the school type, and are used to determine Level 3 schools (lowest-performing 20 percent per state law) • Districts are classified based on the level of lowest-performing school (exception for Board action) Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
The PPI and the school percentile • PPI is a criterion-referenced measure of progress • Percentiles are relative, and help the state and districts focus supports on low-achieving students in low performing schools • Massachusetts uses school types (ES, ESMS, MS, MSHS, HS) to fairly compare the performance of schools serving the same or similar grades and distribute resources equitably • Every school’s percentile and PPI tells a different story • Schools with lower percentiles but higher PPIs for all student groups are showing improvement over time • Schools with higher percentiles but lower PPIs are high performing, but have more work to do to support student success Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
