  1. Community Presentations Kennewick School District

  2. Purpose Engage the community in understanding how our schools are performing academically. Share some of the ways that schools are trying to help students reach and/or exceed grade-level standards and expectations. Ask for feedback on ideas that you may have to improve what we do.

  3. Questions to Consider? What are some demographic changes occurring in the KSD? How are the various schools in the KSD alike and different? What impact does poverty have on standardized test scores? What are some of the different types of assessments done by KSD students?

  11. Multi-Dimensional BenchmarkingSchool PerformanceJim Lewis and Associates “By far the most important characteristic that defines school pass rates is the level of student poverty at a school, as measured by the percentage of students on free or reduced-price meals. A one-point increase in meals percent causes school WASL pass rates to drop by about one-half point in all subjects.”

  25. District Testing • Kindergarten Assessment (Reading / Math) • Developmental Reading Assessment (DRA) (1st and 2nd grades) (Reading Literacy) • DIBELS Testing (Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills) (Elementary) • MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) Testing (Grades 3-10) Reading and Math

  26. District - MAP Testing MAP is used to measure a student's progress or growth in school.  Students take a 40-50 item computer based test on reading and/or math in September and May. Some students also take the test in January. As the student answers test items correctly, the questions become more difficult. If the student answers incorrectly, the questions become easier. The test adapts to the student in real-time as the test progresses, so each test is unique to that student.

  27. District - MAP Testing • The test results allow a teacher to know a student’s academic strengths and where he/she may need help. • Testing norms were developed using a sample group of over 2.8 million students in the United States. • Scores • Percentile Range – The range of scores within which a student’s results fall (192-198). • Percentile Rank – this tells how well a student performed compared to the students in the norm group (59th percentile). • RIT scores range from 100-280. Students start around 180-200 in third grade and progress to 220-260 by high school.

  28. 90% of all third grade students read at or above grade level. • Grade level is defined as a score of 194 on the MAP test. • Third grade reading goal results have hovered in the 87% to 90% range for the last five years. • This past year, 1015 out of 1125 students scored at 194 or higher. • Ten (10) out of 14 schools hit the 90% this year, two more than last year. • Washington Elementary made the 90% goal for the 12th straight year. Cascade and Vista made the 90% goal for the 11th straight year.

  38. State Testing • Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL) (prior to 2010) • Measurements of Student Progress (MSP)(new for 2010, grades 3-8) • High School Proficiency Exams (HSPE) (new for 2010, grade 10) • End-of-Course exams (new for math in 2011, Algebra/Geometry, when course completed)

  39. State - WASL / MSP / HSPE / EOC Testing • Students take a 25-35 item test – mostly via pencil and paper in Elementary and High School and via computer in Middle School. • Tests are given in – • Reading, in grades 3-8 and 10, • Writing, in grades 4, 7, 10, • Math, in grades 3-8 and 10; and starting in the Spring of 2011, in grades 3-8 and at the end of Algebra and Geometry, • Science, in grades 5, 8, 10 • Students have to achieve a certain score to “Meet Standard.” • Reading, Math, Science – 400 (Highest Possible score = Reading -525, Math – 575, Science - 625) • Writing – 17 (Highest Possible Score = 24)

  40. State - WASL / MSP / HSPE / EOC Testing State scores have fluctuated significantly. Generally, with populations of over 60,000 students taking the test, there should be very little fluctuation. At a elementary school with 70-100 students, you might see fluctuations of 8-10 points since the sample size is small. At a high school with 400 students, you might see fluctuations of 4-5 points since the sample size is larger.

  41. State Testing At 5th grade math, the state dropped 8 points in 2010 and then went back up 7 points in 2011. At 5th grade science, the state dropped 9 points and then went up 22 points in 2011. At 6th grade reading, the state dropped 7 points in 2010 and then gained 6 points in 2011. All of these are abnormally high fluctuations given that over 60,000 students are being tested at each grade level.

  42. State - WASL / MSP / HSPE Testing At the high school level, passing these tests (or a state approved alternative) is a graduation requirement. At other grade levels, these tests give an indication of how a student is performing against the state standard.

  43. State - WASL / MSP / HSPE Testing The standard to pass the Reading portion of the WASL/MSP appears to be about the 30th-35th percentile on the MAP test.

  44. State - WASL / MSP / HSPE Testing The standard to pass the Reading portion of the WASL/MSP appears to be about the 30th-35th percentile on the MAP test. The standard to pass the Math portion of the WASL/MSP appears to be about the 70th percentile on the MAP test.

  45. High School Testing • College Testing (by student choice) • Advanced Placement (AP – Course based) • International Baccalaureate (IB – Course based) • PSAT – Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (College Preparedness Indicator) • SAT – Scholastic Aptitude Test – 4 Year College Admissions • ACT – American College Testing - 4 Year College Admissions • Compass / Asset Testing – 2 Year College Admissions

  46. What Can’t We Impact? The demographics of our students. The language spoken at home. The education level of our students’ parents. The financial situations of our students’ parents.

  47. What Can We Impact? The Quality of our Instruction. The Quality of our Curriculum. The Quality of our Assessments.

  48. How Much Time Do Schools Really Have Students? Total Available Time 18 Years x 365 days = 6570 days 6570 days x 24 hours = 157,680 hours or 6570 x 16 hours = 105,120 hours School Time 12-13 Years (out of the first 18) Each Year – 180 days (out of 365) Each Day – 6 Hours (out of 24) So here’s the math 13 Years x 180 days = 2,340 days (assuming full-day kindergarten) 2340 days x 6 hours = 14,040 hours (not adjusted for early releases, etc.) 14,040 / 157,680 = 8.9%of a student’s time is spent in school during the first 18 years. 14,040 / 105,120 = 13.4%of a student’s time is spent in school during the first 18 years (eliminating sleep time)

  49. How Much Time Do We Have Students? Thus, if we only have students for less than 14% of their lives from the time they are born until the time they graduate, it means at least two very important things: EVERY MINUTE COUNTS! We need the help of our families.
