Overview of Florida’s Accountability System

School Grades

Achievement and growth •  English/Language Arts •  Mathematics

Additional areas of achievement •  Science •  Social Studies

For secondary schools, other elements •  Accelerated coursework (Middle & High) •  Graduation rate (High)


Achievement % of students scoring at a

satisfactory level (meeting state standards).

This is scoring at Level 3 or above.

Learning Gains % of students meeting the statewide

definition of learning gains. In nearly all cases it is at least more than

1 year’s growth.

Measure


•  Extra points Learning gains and college readiness ‘bonus’ points

•  Penalties Learning gains ‘trapdoors’

No ‘Safety net’ where a school can only drop by a single grade

PriorAccountabilitySystem

•  Some of these impacted schools negatively •  Most of these had a positive impact on school grades •  Learning gains ‘bonus’ points added 0.1 or 0.2 points if

students received large amounts of growth in the prior year

Effect

All of these are now eliminated in both the school and district accountability systems.

Beginning in 2015-16, the learning gains calculation changed for all students who did not score in Level 5 in the prior school year.

Level 1 & 2

•  Must move to a higher category in Level 1 or Level 2 or to the next Level

•  Different number of points needed, even for students in the same level

Level 3 & 4

•  Must maintain their Level and gain one additional point

Level 5

•  Must stay in Level 5

•  Same as in prior school grading system
