Academic Performance Index (API) and AYP Bixby Public Schools December 8, 2008

API “The API is the numeric index or score reflecting a particular school’s or district’s academic performance, as well as the influence of other factors tied to educational success.” Its use in the last five years has been to document compliance with NCLB (4 components), to reward schools (Triple A financial rewards) and to increase accountability to all schools. Source: Oklahoma Academic Performance Index District Report, Oklahoma State Department of Education, July 2008.

Overview for API Mandated by Title 70 O.S. 3-150 Developed by the Oklahoma State Board of Education Seven mandated indicators Law requires that testing is weighted at least 60% Law stipulates performance targets each year Scores are assigned to individual schools as well as to the district.

No Child Left Behind Act NCLB mandates that 100% proficiency be reached by the year 2013-14 SDE established a growth target of 1500 API by 2013-14 to be equivalent to 100% NCLB requires AYP (Annual Yearly Progress) for the District and each School Site Growth must be overall and by subgroup.

No Child Left Behind Act AYP is measured in part by reading and math API scores for each of the following student groups: All students, regular students, special education, ELL, Economically Disadvantaged, and each Major Racial/Ethnic Group (Black, White…etc)

No Child Left Behind Act AYP requires that 95% of each student group within a school site or district must participate in the student academic assessments. Reading and Math API’s are calculated and AYP determined only for student groups within a school site or district meeting minimum sample size. All students and Regular students = 30: All other student groups decreased this year from 52 to 30. Additional Indicators: Graduation Rates and Attendance

STATE API: Seven Indicators---Three Categories Oklahoma School Testing Program (OSTP) Reading and Mathematics from all state-mandated tests given in Grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and EOI High School School Completion Attendance: 2007-2008 data Dropout Rates: 2006-2007 data Graduation Rates: 2006-2007 data

Seven Indicators---Three Categories Academic Excellence API* ACT Data: Scores and Participation College Remediation Rates in Mathematics and Reading Advanced Placement Participation *This indicator utilized only in high school (9-12) and K-12 District accountability.

Goal Level of Performance for AYP Federal Requirements NCLB 95% of students participating in testing 1500 API in Math and Reading by 2014 for all students and sub-groups Attendance 94% (164.5 days of the 175 days taught) Graduation Rate of 82.4% and must increase yearly once attained.

Goal for Level of Performance API Same as NCLB but also Drop out rate of 1.0% ACT participation rate of 86.1% ACT composite score of 24 College Math and Reading Remediation rates of 5% or less

Implications Target Professional Development to improve student achievement Reading (1060) and Math (1074) 2010 Targets Specific Subgroups such as Special Education, ELL, American Indian, Economically Disadvantaged Increased importance of accurate data collection and reporting Increased monitoring of number of students taking the test (95%) Continued emphasis on increasing number of students taking ACT (69.0% to goal of 85%) Increased emphasis on attendance (93.2% to a goal of 98%) Continue to take preventative action to reduce drop-outs (1.0% or less—current is 1.4%)
