and Beyond School Grades DRAFT Specifications For Each Component Revised with Principal feedback from Meetings February 2016 Principals Meeting February 2016 Gisela Feild Assessment, Research and Data Analysis

Changes to School Grades and Beyond The school grade is based on the percentage of total points earned. All grades will be released every Summer Provisions that may raise or lower a school’s grade beyond what the percentage of points would indicate are eliminated (no additional requirements; no additional weights/bonus; no automatic adjustments) The Graduation Rate and College and Career components are lagged The Middle School Acceleration component includes lagged data for industry certification results

English Language Arts(ELA) Proficiency Numerator – All students (from the denominator) who earn 3+ on the FSA ELA or FSAA ELA Denominator – All students in membership in both FTEs at the school in grades 3-10 Special Notes – All ELL < 2 years removed from computation

Mathematics Proficiency Numerator – All students (from the denominator) earning 3+ on the FSA Math, FSAA Mathematics, Algebra 1 EOC, Geometry EOC or Algebra 2 EOC Denominator – All students in membership in both FTE at the school and: – in grades 3-8 OR – enrolled in the Algebra 1, Geometry, or Algebra 2 EOCs for the first time Special Notes – All ELL < 2 years removed from computation – Note, enrolled for the first time in the Math EOCs pertains to high schools. For middle schools, a student who re-enrolls (due to failing the EOC) will be counted – Students who take more than one Mathematics EOC ( Algebra or Geometry) in the school year will have the highest score included. But this does not include retakers.

Middle School Acceleration Numerator – All students (from the denominator) earning 3+ on the Algebra 1 EOC, Geometry EOC, Biology EOC or on an Industry Certification (lagged) Denominator – All students in membership in both FTE at the school and: In grade 8 who scored a 3+ on a 7 th grade Mathematics statewide standardized test (FSA Math, Algebra or Geometry) in the prior year, OR Any student enrolled in an EOC course (Algebra, Geometry or Biology) OR Any student who took an IC in the prior year (lagged) Special Notes – Students who take more than one EOC (ex: Geometry and Biology) in the school year will have the highest score included.

Social Studies Proficiency Numerator – All students (from the denominato) earning 3+ on the Civics or US History EOC Denominator – All students in membership in both FTEs at the school and: Enrolled in the Civics or US History course for the first time or Any student enrolled in the AP US History course that took the US History EOC Special Notes – All ELL < 2 years removed from computation

Science Proficiency Numerator – All students (from the denominator) earning 3+ on the FCAT 2.0 Science, FSAA Science or Biology EOC Denominator – All students in membership in both FTEs at the school and: In grades 5 and/or 8 or Enrolled in the Biology EOC for the first time Special Notes – All ELL < 2 years removed from computation

High School College and Career Acceleration Lagged Component Numerator: Any graduate from the graduating cohort who while in high school ( 4 years) had a score that makes them eligible to earn college credit. Included are: 1.AP 2.IB 3.AICE 4.Dual Enrollment 5.CAPE IC or CAPE IC in the Funding List If student earns credit (passes) more than one accelerated course in the four years, they only count once Denominator: GRADUATES from the Graduating Cohort Special Notes – Industry certifications earned in middle school DO NOT Count for this indicator

Learning Gains (DRAFT - without FLDOE confirmation) How to earn a learning gain: 1. Improve a level ( 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5) or remain within level Remain within levels 3-3 or 4-4 but improve the scale score by at least one point (from the bottom of the next grade level) 3. Remain within levels 1-1 and 2-2 but, advance one subcategory in scale range Special Notes – ALL Students are included in the learning gains components ( ELA, Math, Low 25)
