  1. MCAS REPORTSpring 2013 Presented to the Hingham School Committee November 18, 2013 by Ellen Keane, Assistant Superintendent

  2. OVERVIEW OF MCAS TESTS • Grades 3-8 and 10 – ELA and Math • Grades 4, 7 and 10 – Composition • Grades 5 and 8 – Science and Technology • Grades 9/10 – Science and Technology (Biology and Chemistry) • Multiple Choice • Open Response • Short Answer • Writing Prompts

  3. MCAS DATA • Percentage of Students at Proficient/ Advanced Levels • Composite Performance Index – CPI (measure of progress toward 100% proficient/advanced goal) • Student Growth Percentile - SGP (measure of progress in student performance over previous year compared to academic peers)

  4. MCAS RESULTSPercentage of Students at Proficient / Advanced Levels2013

  5. MCAS RESULTSComposite Performance Index Results (CPI)2013

  6. MCAS RESULTSStudent Growth Percentile (SGP)(Massachusetts 2013 Median Scores – 50th Percentile) * High SGP 60 - 99 Typical SGP 40 - 59 Low SGP 0 - 39

  7. DISTRICT STRENGTHS • Scores higher than state: percentage scoring proficient/advanced and CPIs • Highest scores: gr. 10 ELA, math and science; gr. 6, 7 and 8 ELA and gr. 6 math; gr. 5 ELA and math; gr. 4 ELA • Highest CPIs: gr. 10 ELA, math and science; gr. 6, 7, and 8 ELA; gr. 5 ELA • Highest SGPs: gr. 10 ELA; gr. 6 and 7 ELA; gr. 5 ELA and math; gr. 4 ELA and math

  8. DISTRICT STRENGTHS (continued) • Increases in percentage at proficient/ advanced: gr. 10 ELA (100) and science; gr. 7 ELA; gr. 8 math; gr. 5 ELA; gr. 4 ELA and math • Special education CPIs higher than state CPIs • Gender CPIs similar • Small range between elementary school scores: gr. 3 reading; gr. 4 ELA and math • High district state rankings: gr. 10 ELA and science; gr. 7 ELA; gr. 4 ELA and math

  9. DISTRICT CONCERNS • Lowest score: gr. 8 science • Lowest SGP: gr. 6 and 7 math and gr. 8 ELA below state SGP • Lowest Special Education CPIs: gr. 3 math; gr. 6 and 7 math • Large range between elementary school scores: gr. 5 mathand science

  10. DISTRICT IMPROVEMENT STEPS • Analyze and monitor student performance results • Implement intervention and challenge programs • Implement state funded MCAS high school tutoring programs • Continue use of test taking and instructional strategies • Align curriculum with Common Core State Standards • Revise/update curriculum, as necessary • Continue professional development programs • Continue use of supervision and evaluation process

  11. MASSACHUSETTSACCOUNTABILITYREPORTS HINGHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS DISTRICT 2013

  12. MASSACHUSETTSACCOUNTABILTIY SYSTEM • School Percentiles (1-99): Overall performance compared to other schools with same grade span • Accountability and Assistance Levels (1-5):Level 1 – highest performing to Level 5 –lowest performing – reported for all students and high needs subgroup • MCAS Participation:Minimum of 95% students required (ELA, math, science)

  13. MASSACHUSETTS ACCOUNTABILTIY SYSTEM • Annual Progress & Performance Index / PPI(0-100):Measure of improvement toward indicator targets over two years – target of 75+ • Cumulative Progress & Performance Index / CPPI(0-100): Combination of assessment data including indicators on performance and growth over last 4 years – target of 75+ • CPPI Indicators: Narrowing proficiency gap (ELA, math, science), growth (ELA & math), 10% increase scoring advanced (ELA, math, science), 10% decrease scoring warning/ failing (ELA, math, science), high school only-graduation and drop out rates

  14. HINGHAM 2013 ACCOUNTABILITY RESULTSSCHOOL PERCENTILES • East School 88 • Foster School 88 • PRS 98 • South School 90 • HMS 89 • HHS 94

  15. HINGHAM 2013 ACCOUNTABILITY RESULTSCUMULATIVE PROGRESS AND PERFORMANCE INDEX AND STATE LEVELS

  16. HINGHAM 2013 ACCOUNTABILITY RESULTS • School Percentiles – All Schools “Highest Performing” • CPPI – All Students – All Schools Exceeded Target – High Levels of Progress • CPPI – High Needs – Met Target/Level 1: Foster and HHS • CPPI – High Needs – Below Target/Level 2: East, PRS, South and HMS

  17. DESE REQUIREMENTS LEVEL 2 SCHOOLS • Analyze “High Needs” data • Review level of implementation of “Conditions for School Effectiveness” • Revise School Improvement Plans with interventions and support strategies • Disseminate DESE required Report Cards to parents • Prioritize Title I funding for Level 2 schools
