Accreditation and AMOI. ACCREDITATION (Virginia’s Accountability System)

– ACCREDITATION is Virginia’s Accountability System– No membership groups, no special formulas, etc.– 75% of students need to pass the Reading/Writing SOL tests, 70% need to pass the other 3 core subjects. Schools may

use a 3 year average to meet the benchmark. High Schools have a Graduation benchmark as well.

II. AMO (Federal Accountability (Annual Measurable Objectives)

• Used to be AYP, but is now based on Virginia’s waiver from NCLB• Different benchmarks for different membership groups• Each school and the Division has 36 benchmarks to meet in participation and performance categories for Math and Reading

(High Schools also have a graduation benchmark). Schools /Division not meeting one of the 36 benchmarks does not meet AMO

HOW TO MEET BENCMARKS:1) Meet the current benchmark or exceed last year’s pass rate - whichever is higher OR

2) Meet the benchmark using 3-year average, (can only use 3-year average if you did not meet the benchmark last year) OR

3) Decrease the failure rate from last year by 10% OR

4) Have less than 30 in the category

5) High schools must have 80% of graduating seniors receive a regular or advanced diploma in all membership groups

School B below DOES NOT meet AMO. School did surpass the AMO, but had to do better than last year because that was higher than the current AMO. School could not use 3-year average because

they met AMO last year

Highlights

• Grades 4 through EOC Reading pass rates met or surpassed the State pass rates.

• Grade 4 Math, Algebra II, and Geometry improved over 2012• Grades 4, 5, 6, 7, and EOC Math pass rates met or surpassed the State

pass rates

Challenges• Grade 3 Math is several percentage points below the state average

(65 % and 57%).• Grade 8 Math is several percentage points below the state average

(61% and 54%)• Special Education Graduation rate used for AMO continues to be well

below AMO
