If a school does not have at least 10 students in that subgroup, the school’s overall graduation rate will be substituted Schools that earn enough points for an “A” grade must demonstrate “adequate progress” (75%) of the at-risk graduation rate population. School’s grade will be lowered to a “B” if one of the recommended conditions is not met. (See chart below) Nancy Law stipulates that in order for a school that earns enough points for an “A” to be awarded an “A”, the school’s at-risk graduation rate must meet a certain threshold to ensure “adequate progress.” Recommended Threshold: 75%; or 1 percentage point improvement over the prior year if percentage is within 10 points of the target 5 percentage point improvement over the prior year if percentage is beyond 10 points of the target This requirement is akin to the current learning gains requirement for the Low 25%.

Alternative School Accountability

Student Performance Accountability Alternative School Accountability Traditional School Grade Improvement Rating or Student Performance NOT credited back to Home School Student Performance credited back to Home School If the Alternative School receives a School Grade the students performance is NOT credited back to the Home School. But If an alternative school is evaluated through a school improvement rating the student performance of eligible students shall be credited back to the students’ Home School Home School = Zone School Nancy E. Brito, Dept. of Assessment, Performance Accountability, 561-357-7521 54

Calculating School Improvement Rating Comparison of student learning gains for the current and prior year Home School vs. Alternative School Learning Gains Prior Year Learning Gains Current Year The school improvement rating shall be based on a comparison of student learning gains for the current and prior year. The learning gains definition will be consistent with the learning gains definition for school grades. FCAT 2009 FCAT 2010 FCAT 2011 Prior Year 2 Prior Year 1 Current Year Nancy E. Brito, Dept. of Assessment, Performance Accountability, 561-357-7521 55

Calculating School Improvement Rating Minimum of 10 eligible students with current and two prior FCAT scores in Reading, and Mathematics The School Improvement rating shall be calculated if the school has a minimum of 10 eligible students with valid FCAT scores in reading in the current and two prior years; and a minimum of 10 eligible students with valid FCAT scores in mathematics in the current and two prior years.

% Students Making Learning Gains Improvement Rating % Students Making Learning Gains Improvement Rating Is at least 5% higher than prior year in Home School Improving Is within 5% points of prior year in Home School Maintaining The improvement ratings are defined as follows: “Improving” designation is given to the schools with students making more academic progress than when the students were served in their home schools. In order for a school to earn an “improving” designation, the percent of students making learning gains in reading and math in the current year must be at least 5 percentage points higher than the percent of the same students making learning gains in the prior year in their home school. “Maintaining” designation is given to schools with students making progress equivalent to the progress made when the students were served in their home schools. In order for a school to earn a “maintaining” designation, the percent of students making learning gains in reading and math in the current year must be less than five percentage points above or below the percent of the same students making learning gains in the prior year in their home school. “Declining” designation is given to schools with students making less academic progress than when the students were served in their home schools. In order for a school to earn a “declining” designation, the percent of students making learning gains in reading and math in the current year must be at least five percentage points lower than the percent of the same students making learning gains in the prior year in their home school.
