Accountability Progress Reporting

University Charter Schools2010

APR = Accountability Progress ReportingThe primary goal of California’s Accountability Progress Reporting (APR) system is to measure and report the academic success of California’s nearly 10,000 public schools in over 1,000 school districts and local educational agencies (LEAs). The system includes three major components:

APR = API, AYP, and PI◦ API = Academic Performance Index (State)◦ AYP = Adequate Yearly Progress (Federal)◦ PI = Program Improvement (State/Federal)

Academic Performance Index◦ The API is a single number, ranging from a low

of 200 to a high of 1000, that reflects a school’s, an LEA’s, or a subgroup’s performance level, based on the results of statewide testing. Its purpose is to measure the academic performance and growth of schools.

◦ The API was established by the PSAA, a landmark state law passed in 1999 that created a new academic accountability system for K-12 public education in California.

AYP is required under Title I of the federal ESEA. States commit to the goals of ESEA by participating in Title I, a program under ESEA that provides funding to help educate low-income children. The primary goal of Title I is for all students to be proficient in ELA and mathematics, as determined by state assessments, by 2014.

Title I Schools, LEAs, and the state must meet

all AYP criteria in order to meet federal ESEA accountability requirements. Currently, the consequences of not meeting AYP criteria apply only to those schools and LEAs that receive federal Title I, Part A, funds. Schools and LEAs that receive Title I, Part A, funds face ESEA PI requirements if they do not meet AYP criteria.

P.I. PI is a formal designation for Title I-funded

schools and LEAs. A Title I school or LEA is identified for PI if it does not meet AYP criteria for two consecutive years in specific areas. If a school or an LEA is designated PI, it must provide certain types of required services and/or interventions during each year it is identified as PI. A school or an LEA is eligible to exit PI if it makes AYP for two consecutive years.

How are schools identified for Program Improvement?

For each of two consecutive years,A Title One SchoolDoes not meet Adequate Yearly

Progress

Once identified as PI…

1. Did at least 95% of students participate?

2. Did enough students score proficient?

3. Did the school meet the target for Academic Performance Index (API)?

Notify parents of PI identification Notify parents of “choice” and SES 10% of school’s Title I for Professional

Development 20% of LEA’s Title I held for SES &

Transportation 5% of LEA’s Title I towards HQT

What Does SES Mean?

• Supplemental Educational Services

• Additional academic instruction: tutoring, remediation, small classes

• Notification is sent to parents of “eligible” students

• Enlist community partners to notify

• Must be offered outside the school day (before school, after school, intersession, Saturday school, summer)

Offered only to students who are “low income.”

To avoid running out of SES funds:1. Prioritize student socio-economic and

academic status.2. Determine priority serving lowest

achieving, low-income students at all grade levels first

Consider using same priority system with providers having limited service capacity.

WHAT NEXT? Meet % Proficient Targets

Safe Harbor

If… The school, LEA, or subgroup had at least a 95%

participation rate on assessments. The school, LEA, or subgroup met API criteria.

And… The percentage of students in the school, LEA,

or subgroup performing below the proficient level decreased by at least 10 percent of that percentage from the preceding school year.

Then…

Then… AMO targets are considered achieved, and AYP criteria are met.

UPS – PI Year 4? UCMS – PI Year 5?

Will all schools in the U.S. meet the AYP Percent Proficient Targets of 100% by 2014?

The Future is unknown for federal legislation◦ (re-authorization of NCLB???)
