Accountability Systems
Do RFEPs count in the EL subgroup for API? How many “points” is a proficient score worth? Does a passing score on the CAHSEE equal a proficient score? How many different significant sub groups are there? List as
many as you can. Students moving from FBB to B increases AYP T or F You can meet AYP through Safe Harbor? What does CAPA stand for? Who is eligible to take the CMA? Students with testing modifications scores are not considered
valid T or F Do students who enroll after Thanksgiving count in your
school’s scores? What tests count towards AYP at the high school level? Do all schools who do not meet AYP targets fall into Program
Improvement? What does a similar school rank of 5 represent?
2
Two systems that convert test results into different measures of academic performance California measure: the Academic
Performance Index (API) looks at growth in school performance
Federal measure: Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) looks at the percentage of students proficient or above
3
Defined in the same manner for both the state and federal accountability systems
Definition 100 students or more with valid STAR Program
Scores OR 50 students with valid STAR Program Scores
that make up at least 15% of the total number of students tested
4
Participation rate Based on enrollment on the first day of
testingPercent proficient
Based on the number of valid test scoresSchools or LEAs with fewer than 100
students will not have any numerically significant subgroups
5
All major racial/ethnic groups Socioeconomically disadvantaged
Defined as participating in the Free or Reduced Price Lunch Program or neither parent has a high school diploma
English Learners An English Learner based on the results of
the CELDT or A reclassified English-Proficient (RFEP)
student who has not scored at proficient level or above in CST-ELA more than 3 times since being reclassified
6
Students with disabilities A student who receives special
education services, has a valid disability code or
Previously identified as SWD but who is no longer receiving services for two years after exiting
7
8
Created by the Public Schools Accountability Act (PSAA) in 1999
Single number ranges from 200 - 1000
Based on student performance on statewide assessments across multiple subject areas
Requires subgroup accountability to address achievement gaps
Used to rank schools
9
Cross-sectional look at student achievement - does not track individual student progress
Based on the performance of the students at the school who were enrolled for a “full academic year” (Mobility tracking)
The API from one year is compared to the API from the prior year to measure growth
10
New tests are added or new weights are given to the tests with the Base API
Within one reporting cycle, the Base and Growth APIs must have the same tests with the same weights – only valid way to compare results
11
California Standards Tests (CSTs) English-language arts (grades 2-11) Mathematics (grades 2-11) Science (grades 5, 8, 9-11) History/Social Science
▪ Grade 8▪ Grade 11 (U.S. History)▪ Grades 9-11 (world history)
California Modified Assessment ELA 3-9th) and Math 3-7 and Algebra , Science 5, 8, 10
California Alternative Performance Assessment ELA and Math 2-11 and Science 5, 8, 10
California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) 10th grade ELA and Math 11th and 12th (if passed anytime during school year)
12
Required by EC Section 52056
Statewide Rank Establishes a ranking of schools from
highest to lowest Calculated separately by school type Compares to all schools statewide with
same school type Similar School Rank
Calculated separately by school type Compares a school to 100 other schools
that are similar on key variables
13
Ranks are established by deciles (10 equal groups)
Range from 1 to 10 1 is low 10 is high
Ranks improve when the API score increases
Dependent upon API increases of other schools statewide
14
1. Obtain demographic data, Base APIs, and school type
2. Calculate a School Characteristics Index (SCI) for each school based on more than 20 variables
3. Rank SCIs from high to low separately by school type. Identify 50 schools with SCIs just above and 50 schools with SCIs just below the “target” school
4. Sort by APIs and determine similar schools rank
15
Rank 1 means the school is comparable to the lowest 10 schools of the 100 similar schools
Rank 10 means the school is better than at least 90 of the 100 similar schools
Schools often do not “look” like my school Based on similar challenges
16
Measure performance of schools and determine improvement
Determine eligibility for awards and interventions programs
Charter school renewalComponent of federal AYP system
17
18
Federal accountability requirement enacted by No Child Left Behind (2001)
Methodology must be annually approved by the U.S. Department of Education
Must meet annual targets that increase over time
Goal is 100% of students proficient in ELA and mathematics by 2013-2014
Annual determination for schools and LEAs
19
1. Participation rate ELA and math
2. Percent proficient (Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) ELA and math
3. API as an additional indicator4. Graduation rate
High schools only
20
21
True
Participation rate Up to 11 different student subgroups Two content areas 22 ways
Percent proficient Up to 11 different student subgroups Two content areas 22 ways
APIHigh school graduation rate
22
Elementary and Middle Schools CSTs CMA CAPA
High Schools (grade 10 only) CAHSEE CAPA
23
CST = California Standards Test
CAPA = California Alternate Performance Assessment
CAHSEE = California High School Exit Exam
Participation rate and percent proficient calculations based on
High schools
Based only on Grade 10 CAHSEE results Student enrollment and performance will differ
if you compare STAR, API, and AYP results
24
Must be 95% or greater
In ELA and math For the school or LEA and all numerically
significant subgroups Students tested with modification are not
counted as participating Numerically significant subgroups based on
enrollment on the first day of testing
25
Each state can set their own definition of “proficient”
Also called Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs)
Annual target by school type ELA and math
26
Targets are the same for LEAs Schools Subgroups
Numerically significant subgroups are based on the number of valid test scores
27
API Schools must grow by at least one point or
have an API score at or above the annual target (680)
Graduation Rate For high schools only Must show growth or be above the annual
target
28
Two-year average Averages results over two years
Safe Harbor The percent of students scoring below
proficient decreased by 10%
29
30
Only schools receiving Title I funding Schools are identified after missing AYP
for two consecutive years In the same content area (ELA or math), or On the same indicator (API or graduation rate)
31
32
Met all criteria except participation for Hispanic in ELA
2009
Met all criteria except percent proficient for
English Learners in ELA
Identified for PI:The school missed the same
content area for twoconsecutive years
2010
33
Met all criteria except percent proficient for
African Americans in math
Not Identified for PI:The school did not miss inthe same content area for
two consecutive years

State Schools participating in state intervention
programs are subject to sanctions if API growth requirements are not met▪ School Assistance and Intervention Team (SAIT)
Federal Schools and LEAs receiving Title I funding
are identified for interventions if they fail to make AYP for two consecutive years▪ Program Improvement
34
State Includes results from the CSTs, the
CAHSEE, the CMA and the CAPA Includes ELA, math, science, and
history/social science Federal
