THIRD QUARTER REPORT July 3, 2012
Third Quarter Report 2012 In the fall of 2009, the Mount Olive Township Public Schools adopted a six year plan that was intended to drive student academic achievement, organize schools for success, re-equip faculty, staff, and students with sophisticated learning tools, promote an expanded partnership with parents, and implement enriching teaching methodologies that motivate. During the first quarter of the third year of this plan, the district continued improvements initiated during the 2009-10 school year, and augmented the effort by developing common assessments in Science and Social Studies at the MOHS, develop “SMART” goals for every grade to monitor and adjust instructional programming, redesigning special education offerings in significant ways to define success as “proficient” with basic skills, installed “Link It!” as the district benchmark assessment system for language arts and math, deployed “compass Learning” software programming for all special educated students that were not deemed to be “proficient” on state required skills, equipped all teachers with personal computing devices, expanded computer usage across the district along with the technological backbone to handle the increased loads, deployed a new and more focused math textual series for grades K-6, and added a number of new teaching resources (Reading Intervention Teachers, Student Achievement Specialists, and more direct tutoring helps).
Third Quarter Report 2012 Data received during the Third Quarter of 2012 included MOHS State Results on the NJ HSPA (the 11th grade required test in language arts and math), SRI (Scholastic Reading Inventories) for grades 2 – 6, Link It! Post assessment (to compare to the pre test administered in early November in language arts and math to grades 3 - 8, grade distributions for grades 6 – 12, and a comparison of grades below 70% for the time period since the district eliminated the grade of “D”. The following slides display the latest MOHS New Jersey HSPA Results; ANALYSIS The 2012 results exhibit the highest percentage of “advanced proficient” performances in the schools history. A clear trend of upward movement indicates the district's first defined trend since the adoption of the SIX Year Plan. Students are learning more in both Math and Language Arts than their peers four years ago. The percentage of “advanced proficient” performances has risen while the percentage of “partially proficient” performances has fallen during the time studied. Special Educated students have made great gains over the time period, drastically increasing the percentage scoring in the “proficient” range while decreasing the percent failing the state exam (partial proficient).

Third Quarter Report 2012 The following slides display the SRI results for all elementary schools and for the middle school. The SRI serves as the district’s primary measure for reading. Great reading fluency is determined by a student’s “lexile” level. ANALYSIS The Third Quarter SRI results appear to follow an emerging trend exhibited over the past few years. The greatest growth comes from second graders (as they are just learning how to read; becoming more fluent). The second graders of 2012 fall slightly behind the average for the peers of the last two years with one quarter of data left to be reported for the year. The same is true for third grade students (28% scored “advanced proficient” compared to 33% for the average of the previous two years). Fourth grade students scored approximately the same as the average of their peers over the past two years (35% “advanced proficient”) while 5th grade students scored much higher than their peers over the past two years (42% “advanced proficient” compared to 34% in previous years at the end of third quarter). Individual school results follow the combined district result slides.

Third Quarter Report 2012 The following slides display the SRI trends for cohort groups of students. By following each line, one can see the average growth (in lexiles) of Mount Olive elementary school students in reading fluency. ANALYSIS Second to fourth grade student cohorts scored the greatest gains in reading over the past three years; producing an average of 546 “lexile” points over the past three years and ending with an average lexile score of 832. Third to fifth graders scored the second best gains over the same time period (427). Fourth to sixth grade students seem to tail off around the 1000 “lexile” point range. This is thought to be due to the limits of the test. At approximately 1000 lexiles, student readings shift into more expository-styled content. A “lexile” score of 1000 is presumed to be around a 7th grade reading level. Individual school “lexile” average trend lines are presented in the slides that follow.

Third Quarter Report 2012 The following slides display the SRI results for MOMS students. The SRI has been given for only two years in the 6th grade. The assessment was used for the first time this year in 7th grade. ANALYSIS Sixth grade students outperformed last years 6th grades at the end of the third quarter on the SRI (44% “advanced proficient” compared to 38% last year). “Partial proficient” performances remained low over the same time period. The seventh grade baseline results are presented in the slide that follows along with the cohort trend line for 6th to seventh grade students. The trendline exhibits a strong positive upward trend indicated continued growth in reading fluency over the two years studied.

Third Quarter Report 2012 The following slides display percentage of students receiving grades lower than 70% for all three quarters of 2012 combined and compared to the previous two years. ANALYSIS Since the Mount Olive BOE eliminated the grade of “D”, student failure rates across the district have fallen. All grades reported lower overall failing grades than before the policy was adopted. Only one grade (8) had a slightly higher failure rate at the end of third quarter than last year (although significantly lower than when the grading policy was changed). The greatest reduction in failures rates was produced by sixth graders. The lowest reduction in the failure rate (compared to program start) was produced by the district's 8th graders (down 34%). The slide that follows exhibits third quarter failure rates only with the percent change policy adoption.
Q3 Grades Below 70% (2009-2012) -67% -88%
Third Quarter Report 2012 The following slides display the grade distributions at the end of the third quarter for all CORE subject areas (Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies) for MOMS and MOHS students compared to the last two years. ANALYSIS The grade results indicate while the distributions are fairly constant over the years, the percentage of 6th students earning a grade of “A” has fallen compared to last year and the percentage of students earning the grade of “B” or “C” has risen. MOMS seventh grade students produced roughly equivalent grades compared to their peers of the past two years. Eighth grade students produced fewer “A”’s and more “B’s” and few more “F’s” than last year. MOHS students produced roughly similar grades at the end of the third quarter compared to their peers of two years ago. Slides comparing combined grades from all grade levels follow the district grade level breakout. Grade distributions by subject matter for both MOMS and MOHS follow that.
