  1. School GradeCalculation Nancy E. Brito, Instructional Specialist, Department of Assessment, 561-357-7521, PX47521

  2. School Grade Calculation Matrix Total Points? High Schools add FCAT Retake Bonus Points if applicable

  3. Who is included in the School Grade Calculation? All eligible students Eligible = Students reported in Survey 2 (October FTE) and Survey 3 (February FTE) with FCAT scores withFAA score (for overall Learning Gains only) FAA = Florida Alternate Assessment

  4. Who is included in High Standards? Standard Curriculum Students Includes English Language Learners (LY) with more than 2 years in ESOL program ESE (gifted, hospital/homebound, and speech impaired students only)

  5. What is considered High Standards? * Beginning 2009-10, the writing component of the school grade will be calculated by averaging the percentage of students scoring a 3 and above and the percentage of students scoring a 4 and above.

  6. Who is included in Learning Gains? All eligible students with current (2009) and prior (2008) year FCAT scores FAA scores Example: *FCAT Developmental Scale Score (DSS) or FAA Levels

  7. FCAT Achievement Levels and Developmental Scores Reading Mathematics

  8. FCAT Achievement Levels and Scale Scores Science

  9. FAA Achievement Levels Mathematics – Reading – Science - Writing Status Model Growth Model FAA Proficiency

  10. Improved FCAT Achievement Levels from one year to the next (i.e., 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5) Maintained “satisfactory” Achievement Levels from one year to the next (i.e., 3-3, 4-4, 5-5) Remained within Levels 1 or 2 and demonstrated morethan one year’s growth on the FCAT developmental scale(non-retained students)* How can students demonstrate annual learning gains? FCAT *Retained Level 1 or 2 students must go up a level

  11. + 1

  12. Improved FAA Achievement Levels from one year to the next (i.e., 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, 5-6, 6-7, 7-8, 8-9) Maintained “satisfactory” Achievement Levels from one year to the next (i.e., 4-4, 5-5, 6-6, 7-7, 8-8, 9-9) How can students demonstrate annual learning gains? FAA Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4

  13. What is Adequate Progress of the Lowest 25%? At least half of Lowest 25% students (50% in Reading and 50% in Mathematics) must show Learning Gains. *Applies to schools with letter grades of A, B, or C . Students in FAA Program are not included in Lowest 25% calculation.

  14. Calculation of Lowest 25% in Reading and Mathematics Use prior years FCAT Developmental Scale Score (DSS) results of all eligible student Calculate each student group separately Add all groups together Examples

  15. Improvement Flexibility RuleAmendment to Lowest 25% Adequate Progress *Applies to schools with letter grades of A, B, or C .

  16. Participation Rate Less than 90% may result in a grade lower than indicated by the total number of points accumulated.

  17. Retakes Bonus Points

  18. How are the bonus points calculated? • Standard Curriculum Students • Speech Impaired • Gifted • Hospital / Homebound • English Language Learners >2 years Included:

  19. Who is eligible? In denominator • Did NOT meet FCAT Graduation Requirement • Enrolled full time (Survey 2 & 3) • for two consecutive years in the • same school • In grades 10, 11, or 12 • during prior year • In grades 11 & 12 • in current year Exclude 9th graders promoted to 11th grade and students with passing SAT or ACT scores

  20. Who is eligible? In numerator • Students • In denominator • With scale score > 300 in FCAT Reading (DSS 1926) and/or • Mathematics (DSS 1889) • administered: Fall or Spring

  21. How are the bonus points calculated? Numerator 6 .Denominator 12 = 50% At least 10 students in denominator for both reading and Mathematics Numerator / Denominator = Retake % At least 50% met FCAT graduation requirement in both Reading and Mathematics

  22. Beginning FY2009-10 NewApprovedHS Grading Measures

  23. ApprovedFY2010 Additional HS Measures

  24. ApprovedFY2010 Additional HS Measures • In 2009-10 and 2010-11, the graduation rate will be calculated using the NGA 4-year cohort method (GED’s count as non-graduates) • Beginning in 2011-12 the graduation rate will be calculated using new federal criteria- GEDs, Special Diplomas, and transfers to Adult Education or DJJ, Drop-outs, Certificate of Completion recipients, and not on-time graduates would be counted as non-graduates • End-of-year reporting (Survey 5) is used for reporting each year’s end-of-year status for students (including withdrawals, diploma codes, etc.). • A student is included in the cohort when the student is first reported as a high school student.

  25. ApprovedFY2010 Additional HS Measures • AP, IB, AICE • Academic dual enrollment • Industry certification • Participation and Performance are weighted to accommodate for multiple test taken/enrollment by students and for the number of multiple successes

  26. ApprovedFY2010 Additional HS Measures • highest score is used • considered “not ready” if there is no SAT, ACT or CPT score

  27. ApprovedFY2010 Additional HS Measures • highest score is used • considered “not ready” if there is no SAT, ACT or CPT score

  28. ApprovedFY2010 Additional HS Measures Points are awarded/subtracted based on improvement or decline from prior year

  29. ApprovedFY2010 Additional HS Measures

  30. Alternative School Accountability

  31. Alternative School Accountability Traditional School Grade Improvement Rating or Student Performance NOT credited back to Home School Student Performance credited back to Home School Student Performance Accountability Home School = Zone School

  32. Comparison of student learning gains for the current and prior year Calculating School Improvement Rating Alternative School Home School vs. Learning Gains Prior Year Learning Gains Current Year FCAT 2010 FCAT 2009 FCAT 2008 Prior Year 1 Current Year Prior Year 2
