2.0 GUIDANCE FOR SUBMITTING THIS FILEThis file specification is used to collect the results of state assessments for all students who received a valid score and were assigned a proficiency level in science that were administered during the testing window.

The guidance below is in question and answer format. The initial questions cover the scope of the data included in the file. After the initial questions, the questions are arranged by the categories used in the file.

Which students should be reported in this file?Include all students who received a valid score and were assigned a proficiency level. This includes students who participated in regular assessments with or without accommodations; or alternate assessments including those based on grade level, modified, and alternate academic standards. Both students who were there for a full academic year and those not there for full academic year are also included in this file.

Are all students reported in all category sets?No. All students should be reported in category set A (by racial ethnic) and B (by sex (membership)) and in the subtotal. For the other category sets, only include the students that meet the category being collected. For example, category set C collects information on children with disabilities (IDEA). Do not include students who do not meet that definition in category set C.

Do any other file specifications collect related data?Yes. The matrix below illustrates the relationship between the data on the assessments and EDFacts data groups and files. This file collects data on Academic Achievement in science.

In addition, for Section 618 of the Individual with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), EDFacts collects additional data on children with disabilities (IDEA). The table below describes the relationship between this file and the files that collect related data for Section 618 of IDEA.

Students reported in category set C in this file

N/X003 – These students are reported by the type of assessment

October 2009 4 SY 2008-09


Note that SY 2008-09 assessment data are reported at different times. Science assessment data for all students, including students with disabilities (IDEA), are submitted in December 2009 for the CSPR. The reporting of science assessment data under IDEA are optional, but if reported, must be submitted by February 1, 2010. If your state’s science assessment submissions for students with disabilities (IDEA) differ, be prepared to substantiate the differences. This may require the resubmission of data for students with disabilities (IDEA) during the CSPR Part I correction period in February 2010.

2.1 Grade level

What grade levels should be reported?Records for the LEAs and schools need only include those grade levels offered at the LEA or school. For example, if the highest grade at a school is 6th, the record for that school does not need to include grades 7th through 12th. Records should only include the grades assessed; that is, one grade in each of the following grade spans:

Grades 3 through 5 Grades 6 through 8 High school (which can include grades 9, 10, 11, 12)

If your state administers science assessments in more than one grade in any of these grade spans, report the results for all the grades in which the state administers science assessments to meet science assessment requirements.

Why do the permitted values include both grades 9 through 12 as well as a value for “High School?”The permitted values are provided so SEAs have more flexibility. For high school grades, assessment results can be reported by specific grade levels or by using the permitted value for high school. Data reported by specific grade levels (9, 10, 11, and 12) and high school will be used for reporting results of statewide assessments in high school.

How are assessment of students in grade 9 reported?ESEA, as amended, requires assessments in grades 3 through 8 and high school. In ESEA, high school is explained as grades 10, 11, and 12. Students who took assessments in grade 9 should be reported either under grade 9 or as high school.

2.2 Performance level

What performance levels should be reported?The performance levels used must be the same as the performance levels reported to ED in the crosswalk of state performance levels to federal proficiency. If you need to verify what performance levels were reported to ED in the crosswalk, contact the Partner Support Center.

States will annually provide information about the name and number of performance levels and level of proficiency by assessment administered through EMAPS.

October 2009 5 SY 2008-09


Level 1 must be the lowest level of performance. Use the other numbers (i.e., 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) sequentially. Use only the numbers needed. For example, if a state has 4 performance levels, the state will use numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4. Number 1 will be the lowest level of performance and number 4 will be the highest level.

How do I get rid of the error: “Student Performance Level Numbers are not contiguous”?This error message indicates that the file includes educational units that have some performance level counts, (L1, L2, L3…etc.) but not all. EDFacts expects that for each category included in the file, the list of performance levels will be contiguous, beginning with L1. Typically, this error message occurs when counts of zero are left out of the file. SEA submitters should make sure that each reported category has all levels used by the state represented, regardless of the total, to prevent this error from occurring.

For example, the state has 4 performance levels. A school in that state had no economically disadvantaged students scoring at levels 1, 2 and 4. The 55 economically disadvantaged students scored at level 3.

If the records are submitted as follows, the file will receive an error because levels 1 and 2 are missing.

100,06,01,123456,98765,STUDPERFM,05,,,,,,ECODIS,,,,L3,FULLYR,,N,,55

To avoid the error, the file must be submitted as follows:

100,06,01,123456,98765,STUDPERFM,05,,,,,,ECODIS,,,,L1,FULLYR,,N,,0101,06,01,123456,98765,STUDPERFM,05,,,,,,ECODIS,,,,L2,FULLYR,,N,,0102,06,01,123456,98765,STUDPERFM,05,,,,,,ECODIS,,,,L3,FULLYR,,N,,55

2.3 Full academic year status

Are students who were not present for the full academic year included?Yes. Include both students who were present for the full academic year and those who were not present for the full academic year in this file. These data are used by a variety of sources, many of which do not differentiate on full year academic status.

2.4 Major racial and ethnic groups

What are the permitted values for major racial and ethnic groups?The permitted values are:

White (not Hispanic) / CaucasianBlack (not Hispanic) / African AmericanHispanic / LatinoHispanic (not Puerto Rican)Puerto RicanAsianAsian / Pacific Islander

October 2009 6 SY 2008-09


American Indian / Alaska Native / Native AmericanMulticultural / Multiethnic / Multiracial / OtherFilipinoNative Hawaiian / Other Pacific Islander / Pacific Islander

Which permitted values should be used?States should use whichever permitted values best align with the major racial ethnic subgroups used to determine adequate yearly progress (AYP) as outlined in their State Accountability Plan.

2.5 Sex (Membership)

There are no questions and answers specifically related to the category “sex (membership).”

2.6 Disability status (only)

How are student counts reported by disability status (only)?Report students who meet the definition of children with disabilities (IDEA) in section 4.2 of the EDFacts Workbook.

Do not include former children with disabilities (IDEA) in this category.Do not include children with disabilities (IDEA) who were parentally-placed in private schools.

2.7 LEP Status (Only)

How are student counts by LEP status (only) reported?Include students who meet the definition of limited English proficient (LEP) students in section 4.3 of the EDFacts Workbook. Include recently arrived students who are LEP and who have attended schools in the U.S. less than 12 months. Do not include former LEP students in this category.

2.8 Economically disadvantaged status

There are no questions and answers specifically related to the category “economically disadvantaged status.”

2.9 Migrant status

How are student counts reported by migrant status?Include students who meet the definition of eligible migrant students in section 4.4.1 of the EDFacts Workbook.

Do not include in this category students who are not eligible migrant children but participate in the Migrant Education Program under other provisions.

October 2009 7 SY 2008-09


2.10 Homeless served status

Are data on homeless served status (category set G) required?No. Data on science by homeless served status are optional for SY 2008-09.

How are student counts reported by homeless served status?Include students who received services under programs funded by the McKinney-Vento Program. Students receive services under that program because they have been identified as homeless.

Does homeless served status include all homeless students?No. Report only homeless children and youths who received services under subgrants funded by the McKinney-Vento Program.
