That is, if a school earns points in excess of the total for a particular component – through the growth adjustment or the escalating weights in the acceleration components – the school will receive the maximum points for that component. 3/23/2010 Growth ComponentDecline Component School gains one point for each annual percentage increased from prior year Capped at 20 points (40 for factors worth 200 points) School loses 5 points if a component declines by at least 10 percentage points from prior year (10 points for factors worth 200 points)

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.
