Network Accountability Overview Division of Academics, Performance, and Support March 11, 2013
Qualitative Evaluation • Each network received a Qualitative Evaluation from the cluster for 2011-2012 network performance resulting in an overall score. The Qualitative Evaluation was based on the network’s performance in: • The overall score was translated to a network rating on the following continuum:
2011-2012 Progress Report • The average 2011-12 Progress Report percentile of all schools in the network was calculated. • For school types without published percentiles, percentiles were calculated for this purpose. • For schools with more than one Progress Report, the average of the two percentiles was used. Progress Report percentile results were grouped into quartiles for reference.
Most Recent Quality Review • The most recent Quality Review scores of all schools in the network were averaged. • For 2010-11 and 2011-12 Quality Reviews, numeric scores were published. • For Quality Reviews prior to 2010-11, the Quality Review ratings were converted to scores based on the below table: • WD/O 75 • P 65 • UPF 45 • U 25 • The most recent Quality Review average score was grouped into quartiles.
Principal Satisfaction • The average response of principals in the network to the question: “How satisfied are you with the overall quality of support provided by your network?” was used to determine this component. • Responses were weighted as follows: • “Very Satisfied” 100% • “Satisfied” 66% • “Dissatisfied” 33% • “Very Dissatisfied” 0% The Principal Satisfaction outcome was grouped into quartiles.
Additional Credit • Additional credit is intended to reward networks performing well with the highest need student populations. A network peer index was calculated to compare student need across networks. • The peer indices from the Progress Reports (of every school) were translated to a percentile within school type. • Low-value percentiles corresponded to high-need student populations. • Multiple values at the same school (e.g., for secondary schools) were averaged.
Additional Credit (cont.) • Networks in the top quartile of the peer index (highest need) were eligible to receive extra credit. • Those in the top third for the qualitative evaluation received 10 additional points • Those in the middle third for the qualitative evaluation received 5 additional points
