Marshall Public Schools State Accountability Results

1. Marshall Public SchoolsState Accountability Results Multiple Measurement Rating (MMR) – Initial Designation

2. What is our new accountability system? • The new system provides a fair and accurate measurement of schools • Focused on closing the achievement gap and promoting high growth for all students • Built around multiple measurements • Statewide system of support

3. Accountability RatingsWhat are they? ALL schools are given two rating every year • Multiple Measures Rating (MMR): • Proficiency • Student Growth • Achievement Gap Closure • Graduation Rate • Focus Rating (FR) • Focused proficiency • Achievement gap reduction

4. Accountability System Overview • The MMR ratings will be the primary driver of recognition, accountability and support in MN. • Low performing Title I schools may be identified as a Priority or a Focus School • Priority ratings use the four MMR components. • Focus ratings use the two FR components. • New lists of Priority and Focus schools are released once every three years. • Schools may exit the list if they meet exit criteria. • High performing schools based on the MMR components will be defined as Reward Schools • Beginning in 2012-13 Continuous Improvement and Celebration schools will be identified based on MMR ratings

5. Title I School Labels • Reward Schools – Highest Performing or Top 15% of Title I Schools in the State. These schools will be publicly recognized for their good work. • Celebration Schools – Next 25% Below Reward may apply to be Celebration Schools and 10% of applicants are selected – TBD in August 2012 • Focus Schools – The 10% of Title I Schools with the largest achievement gaps and high schools with graduation rates falling below 60%. These are identified once every three years • Continuous Improvement Schools – Bottom 25% - TBD in August 2012 • Priority Schools – The 5% most persistently low-performing schools in the state.

6. Multiple Measurement RatingHow does the MMR work? • Each domain is worth 25 points • The MMR is generated by dividing the total number of points earned by the total number of points possible. • For most elementary and middle schools, 75 points possible. For most high schools 100 points possible. • The MMR is a 0-100 percentage for all schools.

7. Focus RatingHow does the FR work? • This rating includes two parts: Achievement Gap Reduction as indicated in the MMR and a Focused Proficiency Score which is the Proficiency Rating minus the “All” and “White” groups . • Each domain is worth 25 points, for 50 possible points. • The FR is a 0-100 percentage for all schools.

8. Proficiency Domain • Proficiency domain uses the AYP index model • Schools earn points based on weighted percentage of subgroups making AYP • Weighting is based on the size of subgroups • Unlike in AYP, in MMR Proficiency, groups can’t make AYP through Safe Harbor

9. Growth Domain • Growth measures ability of schools to get students to exceed predicted growth • Growth predictions based on students’ last assessment result • Predictions generated by looking at two cohorts of students, where they scored one year and where they scored the next year • Student growth score based on being above or below prediction • School growth score is average of student growth scores

10. Achievement Gap Reduction Domain • Growth of individual subgroups of students of color compared to growth of white students, ELs compared to non-ELs, FRPs compared to non-FRPs, Sped compared to non-Sped • Subtract schools’ growth scores for lower performing groups from statewide average of higher performing groups • Negative score indicates success

11. Graduation Rate • Uses same methodology as Proficiency domain • Looks at the percentage of subgroups that made AYP in graduation rate • AYP grad rate targets have been 85% • The rate changes in 2012 to a target of 90% • Groups can only get credit for meeting the target, not through year-to-year improvements

12. MMR - What was publically reported May 2012? • School MMR – Initial Designation (One rating =combo of 2010, 2011 in reading and math) • Title I MMR Label of Reward, Focus or Priority (which means 70% of Title I Schools do not have a label right now)

13. MPS MMR Results (Initial Designation) Final Multiple Measurement Rating Was the school given a designation? Focus Rating. “How are we doing on the Achievement Gap?”

14. Current 25th Percentiles and Reward Schools • Elementary Schools: MMR 33.81%; FR 42.55%; Lowest Reward MMR 73.30% • Middle Schools: MMR 18.68%; FR 42.96%; Lowest Reward MMR 79.05% • High Schools: MMR 22.05%; FR 31.99%; Lowest Reward MMR 76.15% • These numbers will change each year with the release of new MMR information

15. Exit Criteria • Priority Schools: Two consecutive years out of the bottom 25 percent on the MMR (‘13 & ‘14) • Focus Schools: Two consecutive years out of the bottom 25 percent on the FR (‘13 & ‘14) • Priority or Focus: Immediate exit if a Reward School after any year starting in ‘13.

16. 2012 MMR Release Timeline • Districts will receive embargoed 2012 data on August 27. • Data goes public on August 30. • There will be new Reward, Celebration and Continuous Improvement Schools but Priority and Focus will be the same schools.
