1. Dr. Stephen Gainey Superintendent, Randolph County School System The Randolph County School System2012-2013 Performance and Growth ResultsNovember 18, 2013

2. The READY Accountability Model is designed to provide school level information that addresses three components: • Growth – if schools met, exceeded, or did not meet growth • Performance – how schools performed on tests and high school indicators for the current school year • Progress – if schools met or did not meet performance and participation targets set for each accountability indicator 2012 – 2013 ready accountability

3. School Performance Indicators

4. Test Scores: Percent of students who score at or above Level 3 • End-of-Grade Tests • End-of-Course Tests • Graduation Rate: Percent of students who graduate in four years • Math Course Rigor: Percent of graduates who successfully complete Math III • The ACT: Percent of 11th grade students who score 17 or above (the UNC system’s minimum composite score requirement) • ACT WorkKeys: Percent of students who achieve a Silver Certificate or above School Achievement Score

5. 90.3% of RCSS schools either met or exceeded growth expectations. Over 64% of RCSS students met growth in comparison to the State’s 42.7%. RCSS elementary students in grade 5 Science outperformed the State by 2.3%. RCSS elementary and high school students outperformed the State on average by 5%. More RCSS students graduated from high school in four years (88.9%) than the State (82.5%). RCSS Highlights

6. RCSS ranks 15th in State for its high school graduation rate. Farmer, Hopewell, and Randolph Early College High met all Federal AMO targets. Hopewell and Randolph Early College High also met all of their State targets. RCSS Highlights

9. The Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) are progress targets for student subgroups. Targets are calculated as specified in North Carolina’s Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Flexibility Waiver, with 2012-13 as the baseline year and the first target year. Using the 2012-13 state mean as the starting point, the AMO targets are set to reduce by one-half the percent of students who are not-proficient within six years. Annual Measurable Objectives

15. Number of Federal and State Targets Missed Federal targets missed State targets missed Federal targets are divided by 28 ( three out of 31 schools met all targets); state targets are divided by 29 (two out of 31 schools met all targets).

16. The rigor of College-and-Career-Ready Content Standards increased expectations for student performance in English Language Arts/Reading, Mathematics, and Science, as evidenced by the 2012-13 student achievement results. As expected, compared to the 2011-12 results, student proficiency results decreased significantly. In 2011-12, 58.9 percent of students in grades 3-8 were proficient in both Reading and Mathematics. Why the drop in scores

17. With higher expectations, 32.0% of students in grades 3-8 were proficient in both Reading and Math in 2012-2013. Thus, 2012-2013 is a baseline year. On the EOG and EOC tests, student proficiency rates ranged from 34.2% proficient on eighth grade Math to 59.1% proficient on eighth grade Science. Why the drop in scores

18. North Carolina LEA Percent Proficient Comparisons 2012-13

25. RCSS was below the State in Reading at grades 3-5 and above the State in Math at grades 3-5. Grade 3 Math showed the most significant positive difference at 6.4 percent (53.2) above the State (46.8). Grades 3-5 reading and math comparisons

27. Grades 6-8 Reading and Math comparisons show RCSS has much work to do with our middle schools’ proficiency in both subjects. The most significant disparities in proficiency are at grade 7 in Reading and Math, and grade 8 Reading. Grades 6-8 reading and math comparisons

29. Our students at grade 5 Science outperformed the State by 2.3 percent. Conversely, RCSS students in grade 8 Science (49.7) were behind other students taking Science in the State by 9.4 percent (59.1). Science comparisons at grades 5 and 8

31. In high school, tests are required in Math I, Biology and English II. RCSS students scored 4 percent lower than the State in Math 1, .8 percent lower in Biology, and 3.6 percent lower in English II. End-of-course comparisons with the state

33. RCSS had a combined performance composite of 41.7 percent. The State’s performance composite was 44.7 percent. RCSS scored higher in ACT WorkKeys than the State RCSS had 6.4 percent more of our students (88.9) graduating in four years than the State (82.5). Our five year graduation rate was above the State by 3.7 percent. High school Comparisons with the state
