The ABC’s of Public Education

Testing & Accountability ServicesThe Three Major Components

• ABCs Growth - (Growth and High Growth are determined differently since 2006)

• ABCs Performance Composite (additional courses counting in composite and revised tests will have major impact, will impact different grade level span differently)

• AYP Proficiency (five ways – Bar, Safe Harbor, Confidence Interval, Growth and Targeted Assistance

Testing & Accountability ServicesThe New ABCs Formula and How

growth will be determined• Growth Scores for EOG Reading & Math and

EOC subjects are determined by using the same formula

• EOG Reading and Math Growth Scores are determined by using two years of scores if available

• EOC Growth Scores are determined by using predictor subject(s) – examples (Algebra 1 predictor – 8th Grade EOG Math) & (Physics – Chemistry & Geometry)

Testing & Accountability ServicesExpected Growth

• Each student will have a Growth Score for each subject (Read, Math, EOC Courses) if have predictor score(s)

• All scores are average to determine Expected Growth for a school (70 (EOC)/140 (EOG) days attendance requirement)

• If the average is 0.00 or greater, Expected Growth is met (HS have additional components in the model in addition to EOC scores)

Testing & Accountability Services

Expected Growth

• The other components are changes in drop out rate, competency pass rate and percentages of students meeting the College University Prep/College Tech Prep standards.

• Subject to change for 2008


High Growth

• The school must make expected growth

• 60% of students must have positive growth (0 or above)


What impact did the

New Formula have in 2006?

• Fewer schools met Expected Growth – 54% (3-8) and 57% (HS)

• Fewer schools must High Growth (especially HS) – 10% (3-8) and 18% (HS)

ABCs Proficiency Subjects

• Grades 3-8: EOG Reading & Math, 4th & 7th Writing, 8th Grade Computer Skills and scores from alternate tests

• High Schools: EOC courses, 10th grade Writing and scores from alternate tests

• All students who take test(s) count – no attendance requirement

Testing & Accountability ServicesABCs Proficiency (Composite Score)

• Do not compare Composite Scores or Proficiency if new tests or less tests in composite

• Examples – EOG Math in 2006 was different test than previous year (scores were lower), Writing was not in previous Composites, EOC 2007 Math Subjects (Algebra 1, Algebra 2 & Geometry) & English 1 are new tests (scores are lower especially Algebra 1), EOC 2007 Science Subjects (Chemistry, Physical Science & Physics) are not in the Composite

• Do not compare Composite Scores of one school vs. another unless schools have same grade spans

• Writing Proficiency and Online Computer Skills has different impact at schools with different grade spans

• Examples - Writing – K-4 (approx. 1/5), K-5 (approx. 1/7), K-8 (approx. 2/15), 4-8 (1/12), 6-8 (approx. 1/8), 7-8 (approx. 1/6) Online Computer Skills – K-8 (approx. 1/15), 4-8 (approx. 1/12),6-8 (approx 1/8), 7-8 (approx. 1/6)

High Schools See EOC See HS N/A

EOG Tests - Count number of Grade Levels and multiple by two (Reading/Math)Approx. Percent is based on grade levels having approx. the same number enrolled

Note: Number of middle school students taking EOC courses will impact the proficiency score of a middle school (depends on number proficient and number tested)

EOC - Percent EOC test counts depends on number of students taking each test (Example - Physics would not count as much as English 1 all students take English 1 except some exceptional students & only a few take Physics)

HS - High School percent for writing will vary depending on number of students who take EOC Tests and the number of students enrolled in the school's tenth grade

Note: To determine Performance Composite you take the number of students proficient(Levels 3 & 4 for EOG, EOC & Writing, Number Passing Computer Skills) on each test and divide by the total number tested

Approximate Percent Test(s) will count in Performance Composite

• Attendance (Grades 3 – 8), Graduation (HS)• Subgroups must have 40 or more students in order to

count in either 95% testing requirement or proficiency (also must meet 140 days requirement for proficiency)

• How to count – Examples - School met 21/21, School met 10/10
