Ohio’s New Report Card A better tool for parents
New Report Card Based on Letter Grades Report card measures grouped into 6 components in 2015. The 6 components make up the overall grade in 2015.
Overall Grade & Components Achievement Graduation Rate Overall Grade (2015) K-3 Literacy Progress Prepared for Success Gap Closing
Graduation Rate • Same longitudinal “cohort” calculation used on 2012 report cards • Cohort: Students accountable to the school and/or district who were first-time 9th graders four years earlier • Accountable: Last school and/or district of accountability • Numerator: Number of students in the adjusted cohort who graduated in four years or less • Denominator: Total number of students in the adjusted cohort for that class
Graduation Rate Calculation • Adjustments to the cohort made for students who join or leave the school at grade level during the four-year period • Adjustments may not be made to reassign a student to a new cohort
Graduation Rate • Data lagged one year (four-year rate) or two years (five-year rate) to allow summer graduates to be counted • Final percentages for Classes of 2011 and 2012 available now
Four-Year Graduation Calculation #FY12 Cohort Graduates (includes summer 2012 grads) # of FY2009 1stTime 9th Graders (grads & non-grads) plus # of FY09 1stTime 9th Grade Transfers In (grads & non-grads) plus # of Dropouts reported any year from FY2009-FY2012 minus # of FY2009 First-Time Ninth Grader Transfers Out* *NOTE: Transfers to Other Ohio Public Schools Must Be Picked Up By Another District or they are Reinstated Transfers that are returned to the withdrawing district/school
4 Year Graduation Rate ** Specified in legislation
Five-Year Graduation Calculation • 2011 graduating class updated to reflect mobility during the 2011-12 school year • Same business rules apply to the five-year rate that apply to four-year rate • Summer graduates from the fifth year are included in the numerator
Five-Year Graduation Calculation #FY11 Cohort Graduates (includes summer 2012 grads) # of FY2008 1st Time 9th Graders (grads & non-grads) plus # of FY08 1st Time 9th Grade Transfers In (grads & non-grads) plus # of Dropouts reported any year from FY2008-FY2012 minus # of FY2008 First-Time Ninth Grader Transfers Out* *NOTE: Transfers to Other Ohio Public Schools Must Be Picked Up By Another District or they are Reinstated Transfers that are returned to the withdrawing district/school
5 Year Graduation Rate New Measure ** Specified in legislation
Supplementary EMIS Forms • The process of creating and adjusting graduation cohorts is critical. • Problems can arise when an LEA is unable to make necessary adjustments because the appropriate EMIS reporting period has closed. • This supplementary EMIS data submission process is NOT designed to give LEAs the opportunity to correct erroneous data submitted during a previous EMIS reporting period.
Supplementary EMIS Forms Two basic requirements: • During the appropriate EMIS reporting period, an LEA reported a withdrawal code and reason for a student that kept the student in the denominator of the graduation rate calculation. AND • After the appropriate EMIS reporting period had closed, the LEA obtained evidence indicating that a different withdrawal code and reason should have been used and that new code would have removed the student from the denominator of the calculation.
Supplementary EMIS Forms • LEA is responsible for retaining all supporting evidence for the supplementary EMIS data submission (e.g., transcript requests, record requests, court documents, medical documents, legal documents), which is subject to audit at any time. • Any approved cohort reassignments will impact only the Four-Year and/or Five-Year Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate calculation(s). No other calculations or processes using the EMIS Withdrawal Reason Element will be affected by the supplementary data provided on this form.
Supplementary EMIS Forms • LEAs must complete a separate form for EACH student where an adjustment is being requested. • Deadline to submit requests fro the 2011 graduation rate data was: MAY 31, 2013 • Any requests for changes are subject to audit.
State Indicators • 24 Indicators • Grades 3-8 Reading (6 tests) • Grades 3-8 Math (6 tests) • Grades 5 & 8 Science (2 tests) • 10th Grade OGT (5 tests) • 11th Grade OGT (5 tests) • No Attendance or Graduation
State Indicators • Same Where Kids Count Rules (FAY applies) • Same FERPA masking rules (At least 10 accountable students to have an indicator reported)
State Indicators • 2013 – 75% proficiency standard (85% required for 11th grade OGT) • 2014 Proficiency standard increases to 80% (11th grade stays at 85%) • 2015 New assessments implemented; do not know what new standard will be
State Indicators • One extra step in calculation • Once number of indicators met is calculated, turn the number into a percentage of the total indicators possible and assign a letter grade • Denominator is the number of indicators with unmasked (“N” >=10) data for the school or district – it can be less than 24
State Indicators – Current 75% Proficient Standard ** Specified in legislation
2014 State Indicators – 80% Proficient ** Specified in legislation
Performance Index • Measures the achievement of every student, not just whether or not they reach proficient. • Schools receive points for every student’s level of achievement.
Performance Index • Same Where Kids Count Rules (FAY applies) • Same basic calculationof assigning points based on percentages in each performance category • Same weights for each existing category • One new weight
Performance Index – New Weight • Students on formal “Acceleration” plans earn higher weights • Students in “Proficient” range = “Accelerated” weight • Students in “Accelerated” range = “Advanced” weight • Students in “Advanced” range = “Advanced Plus” weight of 1.3
Performance Index Calculation • “Perfect” PI Score = 120 Points • Calculate percentage of points earned 91.6/120 = 76.3%
Performance Index ** Specified in legislation
Gap Closing (Annual Measurable Objectives) • Measures the academic performance of specific groups of students • Replaces old AYP calculation • More realistic targets, but more aggressive improvement (gap closing) expected to earn top letter grades
Gap Closing-Similarities to AYP • Same Where Kids Count Rules • Same 10 subgroupsevaluated • Same “N” size of 30 for Proficiency • Same “N” size of 40 for Participation • Same Attendance Goal (93%) • Same Participation Rate Goal (95%)
Gap Closing – Differences from AYP • A single AMO for reading and math versus seven different AYP goals • Graduation AMO for 4-Year Rate Only
Gap Closing – Differences from AYP • AYP calculation yielded a “Met” or “Not Met” label. • AMO calculation yields a letter grade of “A” through “F”. • Final AMO grade of “C” or better analogous to “meeting” AYP
Gap Closing – Differences from AYP • No School or District Improvement Status • No public school choice or supplemental educational services • No parent letters • Replaced by “Priority” (lowest 5%) and “Focus” (lowest 10%) schools • Waiver requires implementation of school turnaround model
Gap Closing – Differences from AYP • If AMO is not met, points are awarded based on amount of improvement (Gap Closing) between prior year and current year. • No Safe Harbor provision • No Growth provision
Gap Closing – Differences from AYP • Attendance Rate used as demotion tool • Participation Rate used as demotion tool • Low subgroup performance on reading/math/graduation used as demotion tool
Gap Closing – Points Calculation Four Rules • If the AMO is met assign 100 points • If the amount of improvement exceeds the current year gap assign 100 points • If improvement is made, but it does not exceed the gap, assign points between zero and 100 • If the performance declines, and AMO is not met, assign zero points
