STARS Results

• Reading and Math All Students and Alternate
  Special Education
• The percent proficient for grades 3, 5, 6 and 7

• School, District, State comparisons
• By Performance Level

6
Disaggregated Data

• Reading, Math and Science
• Displays will look like Writing does now
• All subgroups from NCLB
• Trend data (if available) or graph
• Percent proficient
• Comparison of school to district to state
• By each of the four performance levels

Science - STARS

• All Students and Alternate Special Education
  results
• By content standard
• Grades 4 or 5, 8 and 11
• Disaggregated data
• Same subgroups as Reading and Math

11
NSSRS Source of Data for STARS

• All students enrolled at any time throughout the
  school year that had assessment results (STUDENT
  template)
• Demographic data for each student
• STUDENT SNAPSHOT template (2008-06-30) unless a
  student has assessment results and is not
  enrolled at that date then the demographic data
  will be from the STUDENT template

12
STARS and AYP Calculations

• NSSRS collects performance by student and by
  content standard
• In parallel year, there were a high number of
  instances where the grade level of the
  standard did not match the grade level of the
  student
• Example a third grade students results reported
  on a fourth grade standard
• NDE will use grade level of the student as the
  basis of all calculations

13
AYP Calculations

• School Level AYP
• The grades in the building unless a K-8
• Will use the grades as reported in the input site
  for AYP in 2006-07
• District Level AYP
• If multiple schools with overlapping grade
  levels, will use the grades designated in the
  input site for 2006-07

14
AYP Results

• Students included
• Full academic year (FAY) from ASSESSMENT FACT
  template
• Exclude students with medical waivers
• English Language Learners two district options
• 1st year Immigrant (recently arrived)
• Include ELL students for two additional years
• Data collected in the Consolidated Data
  Collection (CDC)

15
Percent Proficient for AYP

• Calculate the average performance on all
  standards for STARS and alternate standards for
  special education
• Calculate the percent proficient
• Average performance is 2.51 or higher
  (Achievement Level Code 8 1.5 Code 9 3.5)
• Exclude if modified or out-of-level assessments

16
Modified or Out-of-Level Assessments

• STARS Calculates percentages from all standards
  with results
• Report Beginning level for each standard that
  was assessed with modified or out-of-level
• AYP Calculates an average performance per
  student on all standards
• Indicate at the subject level if out-of-level or
  modified
• Must exclude all standards in that subject area

17
FAY (old) Participation Rate

• Number and percentage of students who were
  enrolled a full academic year (FAY) and were
  assessed on at least 75 of the standards
• Include regular STARS and alternate assessments
• Displayed but not used for determining AYP

18
NEW Participation Rate

• Participation Rate used for AYP
• All students who were assessed at any time
• Calculate by subtracting the number of students
  who were enrolled at the end of the school year
  as reported on the STUDENT SNAPSHOT (2008-06-30)
  and were not assessed

19
Not Assessed Students for AYP

• Counted as Not Assessed
• Students with all N Not assessed
• Students with parent waivers
• Students with out-of-level or modified
  assessments
• Counted as Assessed
• All students except those with Medical waivers or
  all M Moved

20
Another AYP Change

• Every school and district with fewer than 30
  students in grades 4 and 8 for Writing
• Add the number (count) of students from the
  current and the previous year
• Include only students who were enrolled a FAY
• Use the weighted average of the two years of
  performance results

21
Verification of AYP Data

• AYP Counts available now
• Calculates the data previously submitted for AYP
• Number of students enrolled a full academic year
  (FAY)
• Number and percent of FAY students with
  proficient and advanced levels of performance
• Number and percent of FAY students assessed on at
  least 75 of the standards (old participation
  rate)
