EXISTING STATE A COMMISSION CRITERIA
  • ELEMENTARY SCHOOL READING
  • Improvement
  • For the following three criteria, the school had
    a three-year average of fewer than 40 percent of
    students meeting the fourth grade WASL reading
    standard and
  • 1. The school did not meet the state minimum
    Reading Improvement Goal by the end of the
    2000-01 school year.
  • 2. The school did not make a .25 gain on the
    reading Learning Improvement Index from 1998 to

    reading Level 1 by 25 percent from 1998 to 2001.
  • Achievement
  • 4. The school had a three-year average of less
    than 30 percent of students meeting the WASL
    reading standard.
  • 5. The school had a three-year average below the
    35th percentile National Percentile Rank on the
    reading component of the third grade ITBS.
  • ELEMENTARY SCHOOL MATHEMATICS
  • Improvement
  • For the following two criteria, the school had a
    three-year average of fewer than 25 percent of
    students meeting the WASL mathematics standard
    and
  • 1. The school did not make a .25 gain on the
    mathematics Learning Improvement Index from 1998

    AYP. Schools that meet all of the criteria in
    either subject area will be identified for
    improvement in that subject area.
  • MIDDLE/JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL READING

17
EXISTING CRITERIA RECOMMENDATIONSReplac
e with Implement
  • Three-year average of fewer than (specified)
    percent of students meeting the standard
  • Did not meet the State Reading Improvement Goal
  • Did not make a .25 gain on the reading and
    mathematics Learning Improvement Index

  • Other Indicator Elementary/Middle Schools
  • Attendance
  • Total unexcused absences / total days of
    enrollment (use BECCA data)
  • Attendance needs to defined statewide to
    ensure consist reporting
  • Recommendation Identify attendance through
    the reduction of unexcused absences as the only
    other indicator elementary andmiddle schools.
  • Other Indicator High Schools
  • Graduation Rate Threshold Set At 85
  • For purposes of AYP (other than safe harbor)
    the calculation of the graduation rate will apply
    to the school building and district level, but
    not to the student subgroup level. School
    buildings and districts that achieve or exceed
    the threshold for the graduation rate, as well as
    those that are below the threshold but improve
    their graduation rate when compared to the
    previous year, will have met the other academic
    indicator for purposes of calculating AYP

A Commission Meeting 1/13/03
19
Other Indicator High Schools
  • NCLB defines graduation rate as
  • The percentage of students who graduate from
    secondary schools with a regular diploma in the
    standard number of years.
  • Final regulations describe regular diploma as
  • Not including an alternative degree that is not
    fully aligned with the States academic
    standards, such as a certificate or a GED.
  • Calculation of the Graduation Rate
  • Washington State will utilize an extended cohort
    analysis
  • Cohort begins in Grade 9 Identify Expected
    Year of Graduation
  • Graduation rate calculated after 4 years of high
    school
  • Continuing students will continue to be reported
    after initial calculation

20
No Child Left Behind
  • Adequate Yearly Progress
  • Starting Point 2001-02 Assessment Data
  • Defining AYP
  • Rank all schools in the state by proficient
  • Then, count up to reach the school at 20 of
    total enrollment
  • The of students proficient in that school is
    the possible starting point
  • ALSO
  • Rank the proficient level of each demographic
    subgroup
  • The of students proficient in the
    lowest-achieving group is the possible starting
    point
  • Required to choose the higher of the two as the
    starting point

21
Choosing the Size (N) of Groups
  • States must set an n for two purposes
  • Protect personally identifiable information
  • - WA has this established with an n of 10
  • Reporting for statistical reliability
  • - Subcommitee recommends n gt 30 for statistical
    reliability
  • Received A Commission endorsement of AYP
    subcommittees recommendation to use 30 for ESEA
    reporting statistically reliable information.
  • N of 30 is not so high that the potential
    benefits of disaggregated reporting is lost, but
    not so low that there is an unacceptably high
    probability that schools will receive sanctions
    as the result of random fluctuations for students
    in a low-frequency category. (CRESST, 2002)

22
Calculating State Uniform Bars
  • State Uniform Bars for
  • 4th Grade Reading and Mathematics
  • 7th Grade Reading and Mathematics
  • 10th Grade Reading and Mathematics
  • State Uniform Bars Using 20th Percentile Schools
  • 3-year average
  • Different schools for each of
  • 1999 2000
  • 2000 2001
  • 2001 2002

26
No Child Left Behind
  • Safe Harbor
  • If students in a subgroup make a 10 percent
    reduction in the number of students not
    proficient, they are in a safe harbor and not
    considered as failing AYP.
  • Example (Group A 100 students)
  • Group A 60 percent not proficient
  • 40 percent are proficient
  • 10 percent of 60 gain
  • 6 additional students in that group must meet
    proficiency
  • However, ALL subgroups must meet safe harbor or
    better
  • All Students Limited English Proficiency
  • Racial/ethnic groups Students with disabilities
    Economically disadvantaged
  • AND must meet other indicator

43
Public School ChoiceFinal Regulation
Clarification
  • LEA must give priority to the lowest achieving
    children from low-income families
  • Determine family income on the same basis that
    the LEA uses to make allocations to schools
  • Students assigned to a school by a juvenile court
    due to violent or criminal behavior, or
    disciplinary reasons sufficiently serious to
    justify placement in a particular learning
    environment, may be denied the choice option

44
No Child Left Behind
  • Supplemental Services

  • Required after three years (and
    beyond)
  • Eligible child low income
  • Includes tutoring or other extra educational
    services

45
School Choice and Supplemental
Services Final Regulation
Clarification
  • State class size reduction law does not supercede
    choice
  • Prohibits lack of capacity to deny students
    transfer under public school choice, however,
    health and safety concerns may be taken into
    account
  • Requires parents to have a choice of more than
    one school for transfer if available
  • Requires parent preference to be taken into
    account
  • Notice of supplemental educational services must
    be provided to parents with a list of approved
    service providers available within the LEA,
    including technology-based or distance-learning

46
Secretary Paige Response
  • The ESEA does not permit an LEA to preclude
    choice options on the basis of capacity
    constraints. Rather, the statute requires an LEA
    to take measures to overcome issues such as
    overcrowding, class size limits, and health and
    safety concerns, that otherwise might prevent the
    LEA from complying with Title I public school
    choice requirements. This could mean, for
    example, adding classes and hiring additional
    teachers so that the LEA can offer choices to
    students while adhering to State-mandated class
    size limits.
