School Performance Discussion: CSC Observations

1. TCAP – single shot • Other forms of tests, more accurate measurement • Mobility rates (*data request) • Continuous cohort data • Achievement matters for ALL students • Expert analysis for parents to understand • High correlation to achievement and FRL • Comparisons to other districts: particularly FRL (*data request) • Growth matters • Impact of choice in social sorting • Median income vs. achievement & growth (*data request) • Learning more effective in the gap • Who’s effective and innovative with high FRL rates? (*data request) School Performance Discussion: CSC Observations Breakdown in important – GAPS Underlying underperformance data, number of students not proficient (*data request) SPF useful for parents TCAP – gaps with students not exposed G.P.A. vs. achievement (*data request) Longitudinal look trends (i.e. F/R lunch and impact) (*data request) Is ACT enough? Other assessment options… Culture of a building Middle school dip – why? Buy into assessment… value to me as a student? Only one school identified as Turnaround; lots of green

2. Additional Data Requests Raw number of students at each achievement level (Advanced, Proficient, Partially Proficient, and Unsatisfactory) G.P.A. vs. achievement Longitudinal look trends (i.e. F/R lunch and impact) Mobility rates by school Comparisons to other districts: particularly FRL Median income vs. achievement & growth List of schools with relatively high FRL rates and high achievement/growth
