  1. SAT/ACT Results for Graduating Class of 2007 A Presentation to the KSD Board of Directors September 12, 2007

  2. Key Points - SAT • KSD’s SAT Reading scores were up 4 points in contrast to the one-point declines in WA and nationally. • KSD’s SAT Reading scores are the highest they have been since the 1999 graduating class. • KSD’s SAT Math scores continue to be at an all-time high in contrast to WA and national declines. • KSD’s Black/African American and Hispanic/Latino students outperform their WA and national peers in both SAT Reading and Math. The number of test-takers for these groups remains small. • KSD’s White students continue to outperform their WA and national peers in Math; in Reading they outperform their national but not their WA peers. • KSD’s English language-only students outperform their national and WA peers in Math; in Reading they scored higher than their national but not their WA peers. • KSD participation rates are identical to WA’s of 53% and slightly higher than the national rate of 48%.

  5. Issues of Equity - SAT • With the exception of Asian/Asian-American students, each of the major ethnic groups outperforms their national peers in Reading and in Math. The small number of American Indian participants (8) precludes generalizations. • Disparities exist in levels of group achievement with African American/Black students scoring lower than other ethnic groups. • Participation rates by African American/Black and Hispanic/Latino students remain low but have increased. • In Math, KSD males outperform their WA and national peers. They also outperform KSD females. • In Reading, KSD male and female scores are identical. Both outscore their national but not state peers. • Females represent a greater share of test-takers locally and nationally.

  9. Key Points - ACT • Far fewer 2007 KSD grads took the ACT (171) than the SAT (819). • Results should be viewed with the caveat of the low participation rates. • KSD students’ Math scores were equal to those of WA and higher than those of their US peers. • KSD’s English and Reading scores lower than those of WA but higher than those of the US. • KSD’s Science results were slightly lower than WA but higher than the US. • Disaggregation of scores by ethnicity would not be appropriate for this number of test takers though even with the few test-takers of color, achievement gaps similar to the SAT exist.

  12. KSD Student Learning as Measured by the Spring 2007 WASL A Presentation to the KSD Board of Directors September 12, 2007

  13. Key Points • In Math, KSD students in Grades 6, 7, 8, and 10 continue to outperform their state peers. In Grades 3, 4, and 5, KSD students scored lower than their state peers. • In Reading, KSD students in Grades 3-8 scored lower than their state peers. Only 10th graders had higher scores than their state peers. • KSD sophomores outperformed their state peers in Math, Reading, and Science. In Writing, 10th graders had slightly lower scores than WA 10th graders. • At Grades 7 and 10, all ethnic groups show a trend of improvement in both Reading and Math. In Grade 4, there has been a recent lowering of performance among groups. • When considering economic status, or ethnicity, or the percentage of English Language Learners, the pattern continues of : • relatively strong math performance at the secondary level • average math performance at the elementary level • somewhat weak performance in Reading at all but 10th grade.

  31. KSDAdequate Yearly Progress A Presentation to the Board of Directors September 12, 2007

  32. NCLB Adequate Yearly Progress Elements • ALL students “proficient” by 2014 • Separate, measurable goals in reading, in mathematics, in attendance rates (elementary and middle), and in graduation rates (high schools) -- State Uniform Bars • Separate, measurable objectives/disaggregated data and goals for: • All Children • Racial/Ethnic Groups • Students with Disabilities (Special Education) • Students with Limited English Proficiency (ELL) • Students from Low-Income Families

  33. Changes to AYP and their Impact • Grades 3, 5, 6, and 8 are now included in AYP. • Inclusion of additional grade levels means more cells will count toward meeting AYP. • The inclusion of more cells means many more schools and districts will not meet AYP. • The ELL and SPED cells are inherently difficult cells in which to meet AYP. • How many districts in WA of over 5,000 students met AYP? None.

  38. Key AYP Points • KSD did not meet AYP. • Penalties exist only for Title I schools and districts “needing improvement.” • It takes two years of not meeting AYP for a school to be on the improvement list and two years of meeting AYP to get off the list. • KSD is not classified as “needing improvement.” • No KSD Title I schools are in “need of improvement.” • Twelve (12) elementary schools did not make AYP for the first time this past year – 9 of these are Title I. • Seven (7) middle schools did not make AYP – five (5) for the first time. • Three (3) high schools did not make AYP – none for the first time.
