READY Accountability Model

HS Indicators EOCs (Algebra I/Math I, Biology, English II) ACT Work. Keys (graduates with Silver Certificate or higher) 5 Year Cohort Graduation Rate Math Rigor (graduates who have passed Algebra II or its equivalent – the class not an assessment) Graduation Project (yes/no status)

Reporting Status, Growth, and Progress will be reported on each indicator (except the Graduation Project) Status: How did you do for the current year? Growth: Calculated in EVAAS Progress: How did you do compared to previous years? (State subgroups)

School Performance Grades (The General Assembly’s Accountability Model)

Indicators Performance Composite (Elementary and High) Percent of proficient tests in a school All tests, subjects, and grade levels Uses the EOG/EOC test data Algebra II/Integrated III Percent of graduates who take and pass Alg. II or Int. Math III Excludes the 1% population (NCExtend 1 students)

Indicators (con’t. ) Graduation Rate Percent of students that graduate within 4 years (4 -year cohort graduation rate) Work. Keys Percent of graduates who are CTE concentrators who achieve a Silver certificate, or better, on the Work. Keys assessment ACT Percent of college-ready benchmarks met

High School Performance Composite Algebra II/Integrated III {state mean} Graduation Rate + Growth Work. Keys {Schools that meet or exceed growth are raised one letter grade} ACT Elementary and Middle {state mean} Performance Composite + Growth

1) Because we are using the state mean, raising standards will not create undifferentiated grades 2) Each indicator has a different mean and scores are distributed around that mean Example Indicator A 46% C Example Indicator B 87% C 3) Set criteria against the state average 4) Monitor data for continuous improvement of the accountability system
