  1. Accreditation and AMO • ACCREDITATION (Virginia’s Accountability System) • ACCREDITATION is Virginia’s Accountability System • No membership groups, no special formulas, etc. • 75% of students need to pass the Reading/Writing SOL tests, 70% need to pass the other 3 core subjects. Schools may use a 3 year average to meet the benchmark. High Schools have a Graduation benchmark as well. • AMO (Federal Accountability (Annual Measurable Objectives) • Used to be AYP, but is now based on Virginia’s waiver from NCLB • Different benchmarks for different membership groups • Each school and the Division has 36 benchmarks to meet in participation and performance categories for Math and Reading (High Schools also have a graduation benchmark). Schools /Division not meeting one of the 36 benchmarks does not meet AMO HOW TO MEET BENCMARKS: 1) Meet the current benchmark or exceed last year’s pass rate - whichever is higher OR 2) Meet the benchmark using 3-year average, (can only use 3-year average if you did not meet the benchmark last year) OR 3) Decrease the failure rate from last year by 10% OR 4) Have less than 30 in the category 5) High schools must have 80% of graduating seniors receive a regular or advanced diploma in all membership groups

  2. REVISED AMO TARGETS Gap Group 1 = SWD, ELL, Econ. Disadvantaged Gap group 2 = African American Gap Group 3 = Hispanic

  3. New Methodology for AMO School A makes AMO for this category by using the 3-year average. School may use the 3-year average because they did not meet AMO last year School B below DOES NOT meet AMO. School did surpass the AMO, but had to do better than last year because that was higher than the current AMO. School could not use 3-year average because they met AMO last year

  4. Highlights • Grades 4 through EOC Reading pass rates met or surpassed the State pass rates. • Grade 4 Math, Algebra II, and Geometry improved over 2012 • Grades 4, 5, 6, 7, and EOC Math pass rates met or surpassed the State pass rates Challenges • Grade 3 Math is several percentage points below the state average (65 % and 57%). • Grade 8 Math is several percentage points below the state average (61% and 54%) • Special Education Graduation rate used for AMO continues to be well below AMO
