  1. Citizens Advisory CommitteeUpdate on Graduation Rate January 10, 2011

  2. Superintendent’s Work Plan Teaching and Learning Increase K-12 mathematics achievement for all students Transform the culture of middle schools with a commitment to creating a rigorous academic learning environment Increase on-time graduation, reduce the dropout rate, and increase post-secondary readiness Implement a standardized data collection system where data is collected and disseminated centrally for building-level/department-level analysis focused on improving student achievement

  3. Increase Graduation Rate and College/Career Readiness • 2006-07 • On-time graduation rate – 57.7% • Extended graduation rate – 61.2% • Dropout Rate – 38.2% • 2007-08 • On-time graduation rate – 60.3% • Extended graduation rate – 61.9% • Dropout Rate – 29.3% • 2008-09 • On-time graduation rate – 62.1% • Extended graduation rate - 65.0% • Dropout Rate – 28.7%

  4. Calculating Graduation Rates • Formula: • 100*(1-grade 9 dropout)*(1-grade 10 dropout)*(1-grade 11 dropout rate)*(1-grade 12 dropout-grade 12 continuing rate) • Using SPS numbers for 2008-09 • 100*(1-.024)*(1-.046)*(1-.087)*(1-.161-.108) • 100*.976*.954*.913*.731 = 62.142160

  5. Calculating Dropout Rates • Formula: • 100-[100*(1-grade 9 dropout)*(1-grade 10 dropout)*(1-grade 11 dropout rate)*(1-grade 12)] • Using SPS numbers for 2008-09 • 100- [100*(1-.024)*(1-.046)*(1-.087)*(1-.161)] • 100- (100*.976*.954*.913*.839) • 100-71.3434101728 = 28.67678%

  6. SPS Graduation Rate History Year Grad Rate Dropout Rate 38.2% 29.3% 28.7% 25% • 2006-07 57.7% • 2007-08 60.3% • 2008-09 62.1% • 2009-10 67% (projected)

  7. High Schools: 2008-09 2008-09 2009-10 • Ferris 79.7% • LC 73.5% • NC 68.8% • Rogers 50.9% • Shadle Park 77.7% • Havermale 17.7%

  8. Cumulative Promotion Index • How does it work? • It looks at how successful school districts are in the following areas: • Keeping students in high school (9th to 10th, 10th to 11th, etc…) • Getting students to graduate • It also compares school districts to one another on a scale by looking at 10 risk factors. This tells a district and a community how a school is doing compared to other similar districts across the United States and allows for accurate comparison between two school districts with very different socio-economic factors and student composition.

  9. Comparing Spokane to Other Districts • What do the numbers mean? • All districts are placed on a scale • Scores below 100 indicate a school district performing below expectations. • A score of 100 is a district performing where one would expect. • A score above 100 is a district exceeding expectations.

  10. Spokane’s Results • 2009 Results • Spokane School District: 106.9% • Other districts around the state: • Seattle: 78.3% • Tacoma: 69.3% • Kent: 104.1% • Everett: 74.7%

  11. Superintendent’s Task Force on Graduation and College Readiness • Bob Douthitt* • Jeff Bierman • Brian Melody • Julia Lockwood • Clay Gehring • Craig Numata* • Fred Schrumph* • Joan Poirier* • Jay Jordan • Jenny Rose • Karin Short* • Ken Brown • May Templeton • Pam Austin • Linda Takami • Lisa Mattson • Lisa White* • Lorna Spear • Sharon Robinson • Steven Gering* • Tammy Campbell* • Tennille Jeffries-Simmons • Terren Roloff • Travis Schulhauser • Wendy Bleecker • Jon Swett* • Razak Garoui * Leadership Team

  12. Increase Graduation Rate and College/Career Readiness Strategies to increase graduation rate: • Technical response: Follow up on all students who leave the district • Adaptive response: Develop intervention programs that keep students in school • On-Track • ICAN in every high school • Freshman Academy at Rogers • LC Core at Lewis and Clark • AVID at Glover, Garry, Rogers, NC • 21st Century Tutoring Program (NC, Rogers) • Summer School/Winter Break School/Senior Slam • 6th-7th Transition Project – Raikes Grant - $150,000/yr

  13. Increase Graduation Rate and College/Career Readiness Strategies to increase graduation rate: • Development of an Early Warning System (support from INCF, United Way, and Empire Health) • What are the characteristics of students in our community who fail to graduate from high school? • How can we track those students K-12? • What interventions can be implemented to change the trajectory for students who are at risk of not graduating? • Approximate Cost - $45,000

  14. Increase Graduation Rate and College/Career Readiness • What do these intervention programs cost and why? • On-Track $1.6 million • ICAN in every high school $385,000 • Freshman Academy at Rogers $83,000 • LC Core at Lewis and Clark $350,000 • AVID at Glover, Garry, Rogers, NC • 21st Century Tutoring Program (NC, Rogers) $400,000/yr (grant)
