DC-CAS Targets Safe Harbor is for groups of 40 or more "Full Academic Year" students that tested at least 95% and did not meet the proficiency target. These groups can make Safe Harbor, and AYP, if they reduce the percent not proficient the previous year by at least 10%. For example, if an elementary school had 10 percent proficient (i.e., 90% not proficient) in SY06/07 they would need to have at least 19 percent (10% of 90 added to the 10 percent from SY06/07) proficient in SY07/08 to make Safe Harbor.

DC-CAS Targets Reading Each MC = 1 point Each CR = up to 3 points 45MC items = 45 points 3CR items = up to 9 points Total Raw Score Points = 54 Mathematics Each MC = 1 point Each CR = up to 3points 51MC items = 51 points 3CR items = up to 9 points Total Raw Score points = 60
DC-CAS Targets Reading Divide 100 by 54 = 1.85 Each of the total Raw Score points (54) is worth 1.85 Mathematics Divide 100 by 60 = 1.66 Each of the total Raw Score points (60) is worth 1.66
DC-CAS Targets Reading Example: 4th grade student scores 39 out of possible 54 Raw Score points. Multiply 39 x 1.85 to get percentage (72%). Mathematics Example: 4th grade student scores 46 out of possible 60 Raw Score points. Multiply 46 x 1.66 to get Percentage (76%)
