  2. GROWTH DATA District-wide

  3. What is SGP or Student Growth Percentile? A Student Growth Percentile (SGP) • • A student’s growth over the previous year compared to his or her academic peers • SGPs are percentiles (ranging from 1 to 99) calculated by: • Comparing one student's history of MCAS scores to the scores of all the other students in the state with a similar history of MCAS scores ( academic peers) • In simple terms: • Students earning high growth percentiles answered more questions correctly on the spring 2014 MCAS test than their academic peers Conversely, students earning low growth percentiles answered fewer questions • correctly than their academic peers

  4. Student Growth Percentile The range for determining achievement and growth Scaled Score Level Range Performance SGP Range Description 200 - 218 Warning/Failing 1 - 39 Lower Growth 220 – 238 Needs Improvement 40 - 60 Moderate Growth 240 - 258 Proficient 61 - 99 Higher Growth 260 – 280 Advanced/Above Proficient • Every student, regardless of his or her level of achievement at the beginning of the school year, has the same opportunity to grow at the highest or lowest rates. • Growth data is used: • To reflect on what worked well and what may not have worked so well To determine possible factors that may be contributing to the growth percentile • • As one measure in the educator evaluation system toward the teacher effectiveness rating

  6. 2014 Accountability Data - Newburyport Massachusetts has replaced the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) goal of: • Adequate Yearly Progress, (AYP) 100 percent of students reaching proficiency by the 2013-14 school year with, Progress & Performance Index, (PPI) The goal of reducing proficiency gaps by half by the end • of the 2016-17 school year The proficiency gap is: • The distance between a group's current proficiency level and 100 percent proficiency The state measures the progress of districts and schools for: • The aggregate or all students • S tudent subgroups, including the combined “high needs”

  7. 2014 Accountability Data – Newburyport Cont. Five accountability and assistance levels: Commendation Schools [high achieving, high growth, gap narrowing schools (subset of Level 1)] Level 1 - Meeting gap narrowing goals (for all and high needs students) Level 2 - Not meeting gap narrowing goals (for all and/or high needs students) Level 3 - Lowest performing 20% of schools (Including lowest performing subgroups) Level 4 - Lowest performing schools (subset of Level 3) Level 5 - Chronically underperforming schools (subset of Level 4)

  8. 2014 District Accountability Data Newburyport Level 2 Progress and Performance Index (PPI): Combines information about narrowing proficiency gaps in ELA, math, science, growth, and • graduation and dropout rates over four years into a single number between 0 and 100 • Massachusetts uses the 100-point Composite Performance Index (CPI) to measure progress towards this goal of narrowing proficiency gaps. • The CPI assigns points to each student participating in MCAS and MCAS-Alternate Assessment tests based how close they came to scoring Proficient or Advanced, 100 (above target), 75 (on target), 50 (improved below target), 25 (no change), or 0 (declined). • The CPI is calculated by dividing the total number of points by the number of students in the group. The result is a number between 0 and 100. A CPI of 100 means that all students in a group are proficient. • For a group to be considered to be making progress toward narrowing proficiency gaps, its cumulative PPI must be 75 or higher . *On Target = 75 or Higher

  10. Accountability Newburyport, Level 2; MRAR Level 2 :  Does not meet PPI targets for either aggregate, or high needs group, in one or more schools MRAR: Meets Requirements-At Risk :  Considered to be making progress, but are "at risk" for not meeting the needs of students with disabilities • The district received the SPED Program Improvement Grant for $18,586. which is being used for professional development in literacy and interventions • Approximately 80% of schools in MA are classified into Level 1 or 2, based on the cumulative PPI for the "all students" and high needs groups. • A school may also be classified into Level 2 if it has low MCAS participation rates for any group (between 90% and 94%). (NHS) • To be classified into Level 1, the cumulative PPI for both the "all students" group and “high needs” students must be 75 or higher. (Bresnahan, Molin, Nock)

Overview of MCAS Results (Process and Findings) 1 st during MCAS AS Anal alys ysis is Proces cess: Conducted on October a Curriculum and Instruction staff meeting by Grade 3 teachers, Curriculum Coordinators, and Special Educators using the Data Analysis Protocol provided by TERC.  Significant increase in mathematics performance: Spring 2014, 76% A & P Spring 2013, 63% A & P  High Needs Improvement Band Mathematics: 11 students scored in this high needs improvement range ELA: 24 students scored in this high needs improvement range  High Proficient Band Mathematics: 26 students scored in this high proficient range ELA: 10 students scored in this high proficient range

  13. Overview of MCAS Results (Process and Findings)  Mathematics Standards to Address Based on this Data: Measurement and Data; 3 out 9 questions below state average; only one is a released question; all multiple choice questions Operations and Algebraic Thinking; 3 out 12 questions below state average; 2 multiple choice and 1 short answer, yet on other questions students scored up to 10% better than the state  ELA No relative areas of weakness for any given standard were identified Students scored up to 13% stronger than the state on questions including short response and open response
