This presentation provides an overview of high school accountability measures, focusing on growth and decline metrics, the impact of graduation rates, and strategies for improvement. Learn how points are awarded based on student performance, including the National Governors Association (NGA) four-year cohort method for calculating graduation rates. The session will also cover at-risk graduation rates, participation in accelerated coursework, and readiness for college. Join us for discussions and sharing of strategies to enhance school performance against set benchmarks.

Growth & Decline • Points are awarded/subtracted based on improvement or decline from prior year • All component values are capped at their maximum values. That is, if a school earns points in excess of the total for a particular component – through the growth adjustment or the escalating weights in the acceleration components – the school will receive the maximum points for that component.
Determining Growth 86 % 66 % (CY - PY) 86 – 66 = 20 Schools gain one point for each annual percentage increased from prior year Overall Graduation Rate Final Points 200 86 + 20 = 106 106 X 2 = 212 Components worth 200 possible points are doubled.
Determining Decline 52% 66% (CY - PY) 52 - 66 = -14 School loses 5 points if a component declines by at least 10 percentage points from prior year (10 points for factors worth 200 points) Overall Graduation Rate Final Points 94 52 -5=47 47 X 2 = 94 This is where 5 points become 10 points for factors worth 200 points possible points.
Graduation Rate • In 2009-10 and 2010-11, the graduation rate will be calculated using the NGA 4-year cohort method • End-of-year reporting (ends on August 16, 2010) is used for reporting each year’s end-of-year status for students
At-Risk Graduation Rate • Subset of overall cohort – includes only those students that earned a Level 2 or lower on both FCAT Reading and Math in 8th Grade. • If a school does not have at least 10 students in that subgroup, the school’s overall graduation rate will be substituted • Schools that earn enough points for an “A” grade must demonstrate “adequate progress” (75%) of the at-risk graduation rate population. • School’s grade will be lowered to a “B” if one of the recommended conditions is not met.

Accelerated Coursework • AP, IB, AICE • Academic dual enrollment • Industry certification • Participation and Performance are weighted to accommodate for multiple exams/dual enrollment courses taken by students and for the number of multiple successes
Accelerated Participation Based on survey 2 & 3 students
Accelerated Participation Sample School • Remember: • Accelerated Participation is worth 200 possible points • Final percentage is multiplied by 2. (27 X 2 = 54) • Final Points = 54
