3. What is AYP? AYP represents the Adequate Yearly Progress a school must make under No Child Left Behind.

4. Four Requirements To Make AYP Y A P 95% Participation Rate AMOs in ELA and Math API (California’s additional indicator) Graduation rate (High Schools Only)

5. Requirement 1: Participation Rate 95% of students in grades 2-11 continuously enrolled from the CBEDS date (in October) must take each segment of required assessments; students who enroll prior to the first day of testing must also be tested. Schools and the District must meet participation rates for each numerically significant subgroup (e.g. ethnicity, socioeconomic disadvantaged…) as well as for the school/district as a whole.

6. Requirement 2: Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) • AMOs represent the percentage of students scoring proficient or above in English-Language Arts and Math. Students must meet or exceed the AMO goals prescribed by the state. The statewide goals are applicable to ALL: • Schools (including alternative and charters) • Subgroups • Districts • States Note: 2005 AMOs represent a significant increase over 2004 targets.

7. Requirement 3: API Schools are required to achieve growth in the API of at least one point from base to growth, OR meet an API status target. The API base for each school is uniquely set by the state. The 2005 API status target for all schools is 590.

8. Requirement 4:Graduation Rate High schools must meet the minimum graduation rate (82.9 for 2005) or show improvement of at least 0.1% from the previous year or improvement of 0.2% in the average two-year rate.

10. What percentage of schools met all four AYP requirements? More district schools met all four AYP requirements in 2005 compared to 2004. Note: Graph excludes charters schools and schools that are not Title I. *Alternative Schools Accountability Model

11. Participation Rates Overall, participation rates were high. • District-wide participation rates for 2005 were about 98% -- up 2 percentage points from 2004 • All sub-groups met or exceeded the 95% participation rate requirement • OUSD participation rates are comparable to the state (99%), West Contra Costa Unified (98%), and San Francisco Unified (99%)

12. Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs): % Proficient in English-Language Arts, 2005 Four of the 10 NCLB subgroups met or exceeded the AMO target for English-Language Arts. District AMO Target=23.0% Percent Proficient or Above

13. Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs): % Proficient in Mathematics, 2005 Eight of the NCLB subgroups met or exceeded the AMO target for Math. District AMO Target=23.7% Percent At or Above Proficient

14. Academic Performance Index As a district, OUSD showed significant API Growth last year. However, we still fall behind the State average.

15. API Growth by Subgroup All subgroups witnessed API growth in 2005.

16. California Standards Test Results by Grade Level A primary attribution to increased API growth was the advancement of all grade levels toward proficiency for both ELA and Math on 2005 CSTs.

17. Graduation Rates Graduation rates declined by 6.4% in 2005.

Advancement Timeline: Miss AYP Miss AYP Miss AYP Miss AYP Miss AYP Miss AYP Year 3: Corrective Action Year 1 Year 2: Supplemental Education Services Year 4: Restructure (Planning Year) Year 5: Restructure (Implementation Year) NCLB Program Improvement Timeline Schools and districts exit PI after two consecutive years of meeting AYP requirements. Currently, OUSD is in Year 1 of Program Improvement.

20. Why is OUSD a PI District? 2004 OUSD did not meet the participation rate for students with disabilities. 2005 PI identification rules were modified. OUSD did not make AYP in the same content areas (ELA or Math) for the 6-8 and 10th grade spans for 2 consecutive years.

21. Changes to PI Identification for Districts As a district, OUSD is in Year 1 of Program Improvement. Beginning in 2005, a district is identified as PI if it does not make AYP in the same content area (English-language arts [ELA] or mathematics) AND does not meet AYP criteria in the same content area in each grade span (grades two through five, grades six through eight, and grade ten) for two consecutive years.

22. Percentage of OUSD Schools in Program Improvement 45% of OUSD schools are currently in Program Improvement status. 12 12 37 42 20 22 13 13 15 15 Total Number of Schools Excluding Charters: 102

23. Program Improvement Overview In 2006-2007, more OUSD schools could be in Program Improvement status. *8 schools do not have API Growth Rates

28. Conclusion • As a district we are pleased with the growth achieved in 2004-2005 with all grade levels moving in the direction of proficiency on the California Standards Test. • However, we also recognize the work ahead with many schools currently in PI or at risk of entering PI. • To proactively improve our schools, we will: • Continue refining our system for effectively intervening in schools before they require mandated action based on their Program Improvement status • Share best practices from schools that have effectively exited Program Improvement.
