The performance classifications for the state’s accountability model are determined by the following:

(a) Achievement - the percentage of students who are performing at criterion levels (minimum, basic, proficient, and advanced) and

(b) Growth - the degree to which student performance has improved over time (based on an expected growth value for the school).

(c) Achievement and growth are combined to produce the Quality of Distribution Index (QDI) for each school.


13

QDI scores are used to assign school ratings as follows:

August 2010 (Surplus) $3,172,655.12

District Reserve

32

District glows…

Algebra I scores reveal exceptional increase.

The district is among the 10 ten school districts that gained the most in QDI scores.

The district’s rating moved from At Risk of Failing to Academic Watch.

By number, the district has more students scoring proficient on state exams.


33

District grows…

There are too many students who score in the minimal category on state testing.

The graduation rate is still unacceptable.

All students must pass the high school state exams the first time.

The district will ensure rigor and engagement in all courses to meet the challenge of state testing, to enroll students in more rigorous coursework, and to graduate more students.
