School Accountability Update
July 2005-March 2006
SPS Component Changes
Inclusion of Students in the SPS
Only students who have been in a district for a Full Academic Year (Oct. enrollment and time of testing) will count in the school’s SPS.
Bulletin 111, Section 515
2005 Transition Baseline SPS
Used to compare to 2006 Growth SPS for Growth, Growth Labels and Rewards
Uses data from LEAP/GEE and LAA from 2004 and 2005, Attendance and Dropouts from 2003 and 2004
Bulletin 111, Section 301
2005 Transition Baseline SPS
Weighted 90% CRT Index, either 10% Attendance Index (K-6 schools) or 5% Attendance Index and 5% Dropout Index (Grades 7-12)
Bulletin 111, Section 301
The following is an example of a Transition Baseline
calculation for a school that had not been reconfigured for 2005-2006 and did not pair with another school.

Transition Baseline Example
2006 Growth SPS Will use the 2006 LEAP/GEE, the
LAA test data and the 2005 attendance and dropout data
Will contain the same indicators (CRT Index, Attendance Index, Dropout Index) and weights as the 2005 Transition Baseline SPS
Bulletin 111, Section 301
2006 Growth SPS – Hurricanes Due to the hurricanes and the large
numbers of displaced students in the state, there will be two Growth School Performance Scores calculated for each school•Growth SPS – Including all eligible students in
the CRT Index•Alternate Growth SPS – Excluding displaced
students from the CRT Index The higher of the two scores will be used
to compare with the 2005 Transition Baseline SPS
Bulletin 111, Section 301
2006 Baseline SPS Will use assessment data from
2006 and attendance and dropout data from 2004 and 2005
Calculated using• LEAP/GEE, iLEAP, LAA 1, and LAA 2
test data
•Attendance data
•Dropout data
Bulletin 111, Section 301
2006 Baseline SPS – K-8 Two or three Indexes
•Assessment Index 90% weight
• Attendance Index 10% weight for schools with grades K-6 5% weight for schools with grades 7 and 8
•Dropout Index 5% weight for schools with grades 7 and 8
Bulletin 111, Section 301
Assessment Index will use achievement levels from each test converted to index points•Advanced – 200 pts.
•Mastery – 150 pts.
•Basic – 100 pts.
•Approaching Basic – 50 pts.
•Unsatisfactory – 0 pts.

Bulletin 111, Section 405
Spring Incentive Points – K-8 As in 2005, if during 2006 spring
testing a repeating 4th grader or an Option I 8th grader scores at a higher achievement level on a LEAP test, the school shall receive 50 incentive points per subject improved
Bulletin 111, Section 307
Summer Incentive Points – K-8 For the 2006 accountability results,
if during the 2005 summer school, a 4th or 8th grade student earns a score at a higher achievement level than the previous spring, the school that the student attended in the spring will receive 50 incentive points per subject improved
Bulletin 111, Section 307
2006 Baseline SPS – K-8 Assessment Index Calculation
• Sum index points and incentive points for each test unit
• Multiply each sum times its appropriate grade-subject weight
• Sum the weighted index points
• Sum the grade-subject weights of each testing unit
• Divide sum of weighted points by sum of the grade-subject weights
Bulletin 111, Section 405

2006 Baseline SPS – High Schools
As in past years, the Assessment Index will continue to be adjusted by a dropout adjustment factor.
Bulletin 111, Section 409
Option II 8th Grade Incentive Points
Due to the change in High Stakes testing policy, the 2006 accountability results will be the last time a school will receive 50 incentive points for Option II 8th grade students who pass the 8th grade ELA or Math LEAP test that they had previously failed
Bulletin 111, Section 307
2006 Baseline SPS – High Schools
Assessment Index Calculation• Multiply each test unit index points times its
appropriate grade-subject weight and the appropriate dropout adjustment
• Add Option II 8th grade incentive points to the adjusted index points
• Sum weighted points, with incentive points included
• Sum grade-subject weights of each testing unit• Divide sum of weighted points by sum of the
grade-subject weights
Bulletin 111, Section 409
2006 Baseline SPS – High School Assessment Index Calculation Activity
2006 Baseline SPS – Combo Schools
Calculated using a weighted average of the K-8 and 9-12 School Performance Scores
K-8 portion weighted by the number of eligible spring testers in grades 3 through 8
9-12 portion weighted by the number of eligible spring testers in grades 9-11 plus the average number of students per grade in grades 9-11
Bulletin 111, Section 303
2006 Baseline SPS – Hurricanes
Bulletin 111, Section 4505 and 4509
Due to the hurricanes and the large numbers of displaced students in the state, there will be two 2006 Baseline School Performance Scores calculated for each school• Baseline SPS - Including displaced
students in the Assessment Index
• Alternate Baseline SPS – Excluding displaced students from the Assessment Index
2006 Baseline SPS – Hurricanes
Bulletin 111, Section 4509
The lower of the two scores will be used to determine the 2006 Performance Label and compare with the 2007 Growth SPS, except when using the lower score would otherwise result in the school being placed in SI
2007 Baseline SPS – High Schools
Calculated using two indexes•Assessment Index (70% weight)
•Graduation Index (30% weight)

2007 Baseline SPS – High Schools
Graduation Index cohort definition• All students entering as first-time freshmen• Tracked for four years• Students who transfer into the school from
outside the LEA on or before October 1 of their 11th grade year will be added to the cohort
• Students who transfer into the school from within the district on or before October 1 of their 12th grade year will be added to the cohort
• Early graduates will be included with what would have been their four year cohort
• Legitimate leavers are taken out of the cohort
Bulletin 111, Sections 601-603
Inclusion of Schools for 2006 (and beyond)
To receive a 2006 Baseline SPS, a school must have at least 80 testing units in any combination of LEAP/GEE, iLEAP, LAA 1 or LAA 2
Bulletin 111, Section 519
Pairing and Sharing Data Pairing data will no longer be
necessary for most schools For the 2005 Transition Baseline
SPS, the 2006 Growth SPS and the 2006 Baseline SPS, schools that have no testing grade will share one grade of testing data from a school into which its students feed
Bulletin 111, Section 521
Subgroup Component Changes
Subgroup Component – Inclusion of Students
Beginning in 2006, the Subgroup Component % Proficiencies will be calculated using test results from ELA and math for grades 3-8 and grade 10• LEAP, GEE, iLEAP, LAA 1 and LAA 2
tests
Bulletin 111, Section 701
LAA 2 Proficiency Limit At the district level, the number of
LAA 2 students achieving proficient status cannot exceed 2% of all students in the assessed grades (3-11)
Districts can request a waiver from LDE if they exceed the 2% cap
Bulletin 111, Section 703
LAA 2 Proficiency Limit LAA 2 testers will receive a zero and
be changed to non-proficient if •The district exceeds the cap and does
not request a waiver, or•The district requests the waiver and it
is determined by the LDE that ineligible students were tested
LAA 2 testers will be included in the Students with Disabilities subgroup
Bulletin 111, Section 703
Subgroup Component - 2007 Additional Academic Indicator For schools with a 12th grade, the 2007
Subgroup Component analysis will include a “Panel” Graduation Rate to replace the non-Dropout Rate as the school Additional Academic Indicator•A “Panel” is defined as a group of students
that enter the 9th grade in the same year•After the panel is established with the 9th
graders, students may only leave the group as dropouts or legitimate leavers (no additional students will be added to the panel)
Bulletin 111, Section 701
Label and RemedyChanges
2006 Growth Labels Schools with a Performance Label
of 3 Stars and a Baseline SPS > 105 will not receive a negative Growth Label•In 2005, the “bar” was 100
•If these schools decline more than 2.5 points, they will be placed in Academic Assistance
Bulletin 111, Section 1101
Scholastic Audit Remedy Scholastic Audit (Year 1) that was
previously a remedy for schools in AA 2/SI 2, has been changed to be a remedy for schools in AA 3/SI 3
Bulletin 111, Section 1401 & 1501
Waiver of SI Requirements Schools with a Baseline SPS below
60 in 2006 and whose Baseline SPS was > 60 in 2005, shall have SI requirements waived for the 2006-2007 school year
Bulletin 111, Section 1503
Recovery School Definition Schools are eligible to enter the
Recovery School District if:•Labeled Academically Unacceptable for 4
consecutive years• In SI 4 and the LEA fails to submit a
reconstitution plan to BESE • In SI 5/6 and fails to comply with the
reconstitution plan that was submitted to BESE
•The LEA submits a reconstitution plan to BESE, but the plan is deemed unacceptable
Bulletin 111, Chapter 24
Recovery School Exit Schools are eligible to exit the
Recovery School District when:•The school is no longer Academically
Unacceptable, and
•BESE has approved the conditions of return of the school to the LEA’s jurisdiction.
Bulletin 111, Chapter 24
Dropout Documentation Required
Documentation is now required for any exit code used on a student who does not count as a dropout•Example: Exit to private school, Exit
out of state, etc.
Bulletin 111, Section 611

Subgroup Component Disaster Policy
Bulletin 111, Section 4527
Subgroup Component - Disaster Schools will be excluded from the
Subgroup Component analysis for one year if they are in districts declared natural disaster areas by the President AND were closed 18 or more consecutive school days.
Bulletin 111, Section 4527
Subgroup Component - Disaster Schools not excluded by the
previous criteria, but •at least 5% of its eligible Subgroup
Component testing population consists of displaced students and
•fail the Subgroup Component Shall receive a one year exclusion
from accountability decisions.
Bulletin 111, Section 4527
Subgroup Component - Disaster
Schools not excluded by the previous two criteria that fail the Subgroup Component, shall have displaced students pulled into a separate subgroup and removed from all other subgroups
Bulletin 111, Section 4527
Subgroup Component - Disaster
If only the Displaced Students subgroup fails the Subgroup Component analysis the school will provide the LDE with a plan to address the needs of the displaced students
The school will not enter or advance in SI If, at the beginning of the next year, less than
50% of the displaced students return, the school does not have to implement the plan
The displaced students will not be considered a separate subgroup the following academic year
