Annual Progress Report Data2007-2008 Ankeny Community Schools
Parent Information-ITBS/ITED Data • Students in Ankeny and around the nation take norm-referenced tests which include the Iowa Test of Basic Skills and the Iowa Test of Educational Development. • Norm referenced tests are standardized tests for which scores are compared to other specific groups of students who take the same test in the same year (Glossary of Testing Measurement and Statistical Terms, 1999). • i.e., a third grader’s score in Ankeny is compared with other third grader’s scores in other states and schools who take the same test.
ITBS Testing Data-4th, 8th and 11th grade • ITBS, defines student proficiency as scoring in the 40th percentile nationally or above (APR 2007-2008). • Overall, Ankeny students are proficient on the ITBS, as evidenced by the following scores in 2007-2008:
ITBS/ITED Data-Other grade reports • Students in 6th through 12th grade also take the ITBS/ITED tests (APR 2007-2008). • Ankeny’s students scored above grade level in every subject tested; reading, math and science. • Only the current 6th and 7th graders reading scores showed less than one year of growth nationally, from the previous year. • The 8th through 10th and 12th graders reading scores all showed at least one grade level of growth, from the previous year. • The 6th through 12th graders math and science scores all showed at least one grade level of growth,from the previous year.
Data for Teachers • Students in our elementary and secondary schools, consistently scored 80% proficient or higher on ITBS/ITED tests, from 2001-2008. • Math has made the most significant gains in our school’s annual improvement goals and results (APR 2007-2008). With seven grade levels tested, 57% of the grade levels showed that they met or exceeded their math goal. • Science scores for the same time period and grade levels, showed 43% of the grade levels met their goal. • Reading scores for the same time period and grade levels, showed 29% of the grade levels met their goal.
Data for Northview-Reading • 8th graders at Northview, consistently meet all of their reading, math and science annual improvement goals as a whole class. Yeah for us! • However, the sub-groups at Northview are struggling. • Reading proficiency scores for: • SES Non-SES • 61.1% 86% =24.9% difference • IEP Non-IEP • 41.4% 86.8% =45.4% difference
Data for Northview-Math • Math proficiency scores for: • SES Non-SES • 75% 91% =16% difference • IEP Non-IEP • 68.9% 91.1% =22.2% difference
Data for Northview-Science • Science proficiency scores: • SES Non-SES • 72.2% 93.3% =21.1% difference • IEP Non-IEP • 73.4% 93.1% =19.7% difference • Clearly, these data points give us a place to start when we discuss the mission of our PLC’s this year. Improving teaching and learning will benefit all of our students, not just the students in the sub-groups.
School Board Data • Long-range goals for students in reading, math and science is 100% proficiency by the year 2013-2014 (APR 2007-2008). • All grade levels have not achieved proficiency in all tested areas on the ITBS/ITEDs (APR 2007-2008). • Math has shown the most improvement at all grade levels, followed by science, then reading. • Identified sub-groups of students (IEP, SES) have not achieved at the same proficiency levels as non-identified groups of students.
School Board Data • The difference in proficiency scores ranged from 19.7%-50.4%, for the IEP students as compared to the Non-IEPstudents. • Reading scores showed the highest difference at all grade levels, then math, followed by science, for the above set of students. • The difference in proficiency scores ranged from 13.5%-24.9%, for the SES students as compared to the Non-SESstudents. • Reading scores showed the highest difference at all grade levels, then science, then math, for the above set of students.
School Board Data • Steps to address these issues include: • PLC formation to address student achievement at elementary and secondary levels • Time built into the weekly schedule for professional development • Instructional Coaches to help teachers and administrators implement data driven teaching strategies • Focus on reading comprehension and enrichment at all levels • Administration and teacher commitment to improve student achievement
School Board Data-Celebrations • All sub-groups meet the minimum proficiency standards of 40th percentile. • All male students as a group and all female students as a group, scored 81% or better in all three tested and reportable areas. • All male students and female students at all grade levels, and subjects tested, scored within eight percentage points or less of each other. • All students identified as Gifted and Talented, scored 100% proficiency on every test, at every grade level.
