Why you can’t compare FSA prior to 2008.
In 2008, the following changes were made to FSA: • Time of the year • - January/February • - Different standards • Different scale • Inclusion of web-based portions
Data prior to 2008 was based on who wrote the exam. Currently, it is based on all students enrolled.
2008 Move from Participation Rate to Performance Level Unknown Participation Rate – the number of students who did not write FSA is removed from the data
Example 2007 Grade 4 Writing Participation Rate 91% Not Yet Meeting Meeting Exceeding 11% 88% 1% Meeting & Exceeding: 89%
Example 2013 Grade 4 Writing Performance Level Unkown PLU Not Yet Meeting Meeting Exceeding 23% 8% 59% 10% Meeting & Exceeding with PLU removed: 90%
107 + 797 + 135 = 1039 797 + 135 = 932 932 1039 90%
