INTRODUCTION
The 2013 Student Academic Outcomes Report is a collection of data used as indicators of student success. To the extent possible, the Student Outcomes Report reflects trend data so these trends can be analyzed, addressed, and/or celebrated accordingly. It is important to note that data reflecting any single year is not Indicative of a trend. It should be expected that there will be slight fluctuations in the data from year to year. Only through an analysis of a collection of results over time can valid conclusions be drawn regarding changes in student performance.
As a recent feature, the Student Outcomes Report also includes data from 15 Pennsylvania Comparator School Districts. These 15 school districts were selected based on their high and consistent performance on the PSSA and SAT. The comparator districts include: Central Bucks, Fox Chapel, Great Valley, Hampton, Lower Merion, Lower Moreland, North Allegheny, Peters Township, Radnor, South Fayette, Tredyffrin-Easttown, Unionville-Chadds Ford, Upper Dublin, Upper St. Clair, and Wallingford-Swarthmore.
This report represents only a small portion of the data that is gathered and reported by the School District. We are required to gather and then submit various types of data in order to meet state and federal guidelines. This includes data on student attendance, diSCipline, and graduation rates. We also choose to gather data to assist with program planning and evaluation. The data gathered from the graduate survey falls into this category. Additionally, we receive data from a variety of sources. For example, the Department of Education provides us with a wealth of information on our PSSA results. Data is broken down, or disaggregated, by scores on each state standard, grade level, performance category, and gender and ethnic subgroups.
Data reporting mechanisms vary depending on the data source and Its intended purpose. Some data, such as the Building School Performance Profiles, is reported publicly through our web site. Other data is shared with staff at the building level in order to assist with planning.
Data analysis is an integral component of the decision-making process and the StrategiC Plan. Data for the Strategic Plan is reported on the Balanced Scorecard. Data Is also used as part of the Plan, Do, Study, Act (PDSA) cycle. This cycle is detailed on the following page.
Typically, the administration uses information to develop individual, grade level, building level and district level improvement plans. The four types of plans are described below.
When data is provided to the administrator, a team of professionals is asked to review individual student achievement information. For the current 2013-2014 school year, the Superintendent is requiring that Individualized Learning Plans be developed for all students who were not proficient on the PSSA. Support may be provided in the regular classroom through differentiation or in-class remediation (Levell Support). However, it may be determined the student Is in need of more
2
intensive support (Level 11 Support). In this case, in addition to regular education in-class remediation, support may also occur by specialists. Instructional Support, Strive, and the services of the reading speCialist are examples of Level 11 interventions. If this level of support proves unsuccessful, the student may be considered for more intensive or Level III support. Frequent data is gathered during Levels I, 11, and 111 to determine intervention effectiveness and student learning plans are modified as appropriate.
PLAN
Building principals also analyze data at each grade level. If data suggests there is a concern across a particular grade level, a PDSA cycle is implemented for the entire grade. Data is monitored and the team determines if the intervention has been successful. Plans for professional development are derived from this analysis.
3
Building principals are also required to develop building level plans. The principal and staff review all available data in order to develop building plans. Principals have been asked to address three key factors: content, process, and motivation in their building plans. Professional development activities also emanate from these discussions.
Additionally, secondary department chairs and elementary curriculum facilitators are asked to develop departmental plans. At this level, data is collected to determine district level effectiveness. At times, major curricular revisions occur based on the data analysis. Other plans may involve minor curricular adjustments.
We use data to describe our current condition and compare that to our target conditions. When discrepancies are found, a series of interventions occur to correct the course (PDSA cycle).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
5
The data collected in the 2013 Student Outcomes Report is positive. Mt. Lebanon students continue to meet or exceed the high expectations inherent In our educational system. Thus, it appears that the School District is moving toward meeting its mission of providing the best education possible for each and every student. Below are some highlights of this report.
SPP (School Performance Profile) • SPP is a collection of data that provides a broader perspective of student
achievement in each building. Nine out of 10 buildings have a SPP above 90% with one school receiving a score in the high 80's placing us among the highest performing school districts in the State.
PSSA • District PSSA composite scores are above 90% proficiency in Reading,
Math, Science and Writing. • Scores on all measures and at all grade levels far exceed state averages. • Elementary scores are consistently strong, scoring well above the State
average. • Secondary scores are conSistently strong, scoring well above the State
averages in each tested subject area. • Trend data Indicates over 91 % of third graders have demonstrated
proficiency on both Reading and Math over the last 3 years. • Trend data in 5th grade has shown Increases in both Reading and Math
proficiency. • Middle School results remain strong. • High School results remain strong. Student performance on the Keystone
Exams has exceeded past performances on the PSSA. The High School continues to outperform the top schools in the region and State.
• An analysis of the composite scores with the 15 comparator districts indicates that we ranked gill In Math and 3rd in Reading.
Keystone Exams:
• The 2011-12 school year was a year of transition from the PSSA for the high school to end-of-course Keystone Exams in Algebra 1 (administered in 8th grade) Biology, and English Literature.
• The overall proficiency rate for the 11th grade cohort in 2012-2103 (Class of 2014) in Algebra 1 was 91.5%. In comparison, the prior years' PSSA math proficiency rate was 88.1 %.
• The overall proficiency rate for the 11th grade cohort in 2012-2013 (Class of 2014) in Biology was 83%. In comparison, the prior year's PSSA science proficiency rate was 73.5%.
• The overall proficiency rate for the 11th grade cohort in 2012-2013 (Class of 2014) in English Literature was 95%. In comparison, the prior year's PSSA reading proficiency rate was 92.8%.
6
PVAAS • There is moderate evidence showing that the School District exceeded the
standard for PA Academic Growth in grades 4-8 in Reading and significant evidence showing the School District exceeded the standard in Math.
SAT • The SAT (College Board) Critical Reading average score of 553, the
Mathematics average score of 573, and the Writing average score of 559 are significantly better than both the state and national averages. It is important to note that 93% of the class participated in this assessment.
• The SAT (Subject Test) scores illustrate that on 5 out of 8 tests, Mt. Lebanon students scored above state and national averages. For 1 out of 8 tests, scores were above the national average and slightly below the state average.
National Merit • The graduating class of 2014 had 27 of the students, who took the PSAT,
qualify as Commended or Semi-Finalist National Merit students. In comparison, the class of 2013 had 17 students, who took the PSAT, qualify as Commended or Semi-Finalist National Merit students.
ACT • The number of students taking the ACT increased to 63% from last year of
55%. • Scores remain significantly higher than state and national means. The
average composite score was 24.9 compared to the national average of 20.9 and the Pennsylvania state average of 22.7.
Advanced Placement (AP) • All Advanced Placement mean scores remain above 3.0 with the
exception of Computer Science A which is 2.7. • Mt. Lebanon mean scores (n=573) are at or above the national average
on 17 of the 19 tests. • The following subtests had scores at least one point higher than the
national average: Art-Studio, Chemistry, English Language/Composition, English literature/Composition, Environmental Science, and U.S. History.
• Several tests had mean scores of 4.0 and above. These Include: ArtStudio, Calculus BC, Chemistry, English Language/Composition, French Language, German Language, Physics E&M, Psychology, and US History.
• Exams were taken by 371 different students, as compared to 344 in 2011-2012.
• Almost 7 out of every 10 students taking advanced placement courses at Mt. Lebanon (69%) scored at a 4 or 5, and 90% of students received a score of 3 or higher in advanced placement courses taught at Mt. Lebanon.
• Mt. Lebanon students earning scores of 3, 4 or 5 outpaced contemporaries throughout Pennsylvania and the nation; 89.2% of Mt.
7
Lebanon examinees scored 3, 4 or 5 compared to 68.3% in Pennsylvania and 60.8% in the nation. (Note: This statistic includes students who take an advanced placement course exam with the course not being taught at
. Mt. Lebanon High SchooL) • For the graduating class of 2013, 46.9 % of the 1 ih graders scored a 3 or
higher on at least one AP exam during their high school career.
Graduation Information • The cohort graduation rate for the class of 2013 is 97.6%. • 96.3% of the graduating class indicated that they would be attending a two
or four year college program. • The percentage of students attending the top two categories of Most
Competitive and Highly Competitive colleges equals 33.5%.
Since the Student Outcomes Report data have remained consistently strong over past years, families and educators should take great pride in the performance of the Mt. Lebanon School System.

SUMMARY OF SAT REASONING MEAN SCORES
The SAT Reasoning test is a nationaRy-normed benchmark utilized by colleges and universities as a major admissions Indicator. It Is designed to help admissions personnel In assessing a student's likelihood of success In a college environment. A product of the Educational Testing Service (ETS) also known as the College Board, the SAT Reasoning test addresses three core areas - Critical Reading, Mathematics and Writing. In the foHowing report, the scores for Critical Reading, Mathematics and Writing are listed separately and compared with both national and Pennsylvania state means. Additionally, data Is further broken down by gender.
SAT Reasoning scores can range from 200-800 on each of the three sections of the test. The cumulative mean score of the Critical Reading and Mathematics sections for Mt. Lebanon students combined was 1126 (Critical Reading 553, Mathematics 573), 116 points higher than the national mean and 128 points higher than the Pennsylvania mean. The mean score for the writing test for Ml Lebanon stUdents this year Is 559. This Is 74 points higher than the national mean and 80 points higher than the Pennsylvania mean.
It Is significant to note that Mt. Lebanon's mean SAT Reasoning scores represent 93% ofthe class of 2013. Students of all ablflties are taking the SAT Reasoning test within our district and are being accounted for In very favorable national and state comparisons.

SUMMARY OF SAT SUBJECT TESTS
SAT Subject tests are offered in specific content areas. They are often required for admission to the most highly selective colleges and universities. Students typically take only those tests that will be required or recommended for those universities/colleges to which they will be applying. Data provided is from a narrow cross section of our school, state and national populations that self-select to take exams based on college admission Intentions. Since the SAT Reasoning test now includes an essay, the SAT Subject test in Writing (which required an essay) was discontinued after the 2005-2006 school year.
This report is a summary of the mean scores of Mt. Lebanon students for SAT Subject tests compared to state and national means scores. Subject test scores range from 200-800. In 5 of the 8 tests in which there were measurable outcomes, Mt. Lebanon students' scores were above state and national averages to include English Literature, Chemistry, Biology (Ecological). Biology (Molecular), and US History. For two tests, Math Level 1 and Math Level 2. scores were above the national average and slightly below the state average.

SUMMARY OF PSAT/NMSQT SCORES OF SEMIFINALISTS AND COMMENDED STUDENTS
This report represents a ten" year summary of the Preliminary Scholastic Assessment Test (PSAT)/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT). The scores for both verbal and math sections range from 20 to 80. The total score possible is 240. Designed for students in their junior year, many of the District's sophomores and even some younger students take the PSAT as preparation for the SAT. [The selection index is used for National Merit purposes for juniors only.] Two thirds of the Selection Index is verbal (critical reading and writing scores) and one third is the mathematics score.
Scores are reported both for those selected as Semifinalists and those receiving Commended status.
The following data is a ten" year summary of the total number of National Merit Semifinalists from comparable schools in Pennsylvania. Comparisons with demographically similar local schools offer insight about our top students' performances relative to the performances of top students in other, similar districts. This does not, however, provide an overall reflection of programmatic quality across the spectrum of learners. The number of semifinalists fluctuates year to year depending on a number of variables.

AMERICAN COLLEGE TEST (ACT) SCORES

2013 AMERICAN COLLEGE TEST (ACn MEAN SCORES
The ACT Assessment is a college admission test in direct competition with the SAT. The ACT Assessment contains four curriculum based tests that measure academic achievement in the areas of English, Mathematics, Reading and Science. The ACT also provides an overall Composite score. In addition to these four curricular areas and the summary composite, students may also opt to complete an additional writing assessment (ACT Plus) new in 2006. The ACT writing component is recommended by our high school counseling staff when students opt to take the ACT.
The ACT is headquartered in Iowa City, Iowa and today its assessment is accepted at all colleges and universities. The SAT currently has a historical foothold in our area of the country, which partially explains why the vast majority of students at Mt. Lebanon take the SAT. However, Increasing competition between the ACT and SAT over the last few years has resulted in nation-wide acceptance of both assessment devices. Often Mt. Lebanon students, who do not fare as well as expected on the SAT, will complete the ACT to see if a relatively higher score can be obtained. Concordance tables reflecting SAT to ACT range comparisons are made available to students and families in the high school guidance office. Counselors regularly recommend that college-bound students sit for an ACT during junior or senior year.
The following report shows the mean score for Mt. Lebanon stUdents on the ACT, as well as the mean score for all students in Pennsylvania and nationally who took the ACT. The scores can range from a low of 1 to a high of 36 for each of the sub-tests (English, Mathematics, Reading and Science). This is also true for the overall Composite score.
The number of participants (280) and percentage (63%) of our students taking the ACT in 2012-13 exceeds the participation percentage in the past 10 years. The average ACT composite score for Mt. Lebanon students this year was 24.9.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) SCORES
57
EXPLANATION AND PRESENTATION OF DATA SOURCES
Summary of 2013 Advanced Placement Scores
Advanced Placement courses follow a prescribed syllabus developed and audited by the College Board. AP courses are designed to equate to the initial year of university study in a given subject. Students who score a 3 or above, out of a possible high score of 5, generally receive advanced placement and/or college credit from colleges and universities. The most competitive colleges and universities often require an AP score of 4 or 5 prior to granting credit.
The following report represents advanced placement scores by course. The report also shows the number of students enrolled in a course versus how many students subsequently chose to participate in testing. It can be difficult to draw a valid analysis of scores due to the discrepancy that often occurs between the number of students taking the class versus those that actually go on to take the test. Students opt not to take the test for a variety of reasons. In some cases, virtually all students enrolled in a given course take the test which assists in drawing valid conclusions about our students' performance and course delivery.
Each AP subject teacher receives an Instructional Planning Report, providing summary data about student performance and related item analysis. Teachers begin reviewing this data in the summer months in preparation for the following school year.

SUMMARY OF THE 2013 ADVANCED PLACEMENT SCORE ANALYSIS
On the following pages, advanced placement data is reported on the basis of number and percentage of scores in a given range for the May, 2013 administration. Advanced placement scores can range from a low of 1 to a high of 5. As a general rule, a college/university will require a minimum score of 3 for college credit to be awarded. For highly competitive colleges, a score of 4 may be required. Some of the most competitive colleges do not accept AP scores for credit, but will accept them for advanced placement status. Requirements for granting credit vary from school to school and in some cases, even from department to department at a given college or university. Mt. Lebanon's curriculum supervisors, department chairs, and curriculum facili tators are gIven the data in these reports each year for departmental analysis.

POST GRADUATION ACTIVITIES
n
POST GRADUATION ACTlVmES FOR THE CLASS OF 2013
The following data Is submitted to the state of Pennsylvania each year. The report summarizes the post high school activity of our graduating class of 2013. For the Class of 2013, the data indicates a comparable number of students attending 4-year colleges or universities and an increase in the number of students attending 2-year colleges from the previous year. This is a trend that we are monitoring closely. Reasons for this change may have included the national economic downturn coupled with the continuing rise of tuition costs at 4-year instiMlons. Additionally, students and families may have been seeking a phased approach to their post-secondary educations, with students attending more cost effective 2-year educational options with full intent of transferring to a 4-year educational option at a later data.
This year's data seems to indicate an increased affinity for state public and state afliUated schools. In fact, attendance at these institutions as a percentage is the highest in the last ten years. These institutions include the higher education system of Pennsylvania as well as The Pennsylvania State University, the University of Pittsburgh and Temple University.

ANALYSIS OF COLLEGE BY COMPETITIVENESS

ANALYSIS OF COLLEGE ATTENDANCE BY COMPETITIVENESS
The following reports give the number and percentage of students from the class of 2013 attending 4-year colleges or universities by level of competitiveness. The level of competitiveness is taken from Barron's Guide to Cofteges to ensure a level of objectivity in review. The report demonstrates that 51 students (12.3%) from last year's graduating class are attending a 4-year college or university that Is classified as "the most competitive" in the countly. The percentage of students attending the top two categories (33.5%), most competitive and highly competitive combined, is consistent with the prior year. The total percentage of students attending the top three tiers of schools (63.3%) represents a slight increase from the prior year.
This year's report shows that a consistent percentage of Mt. Lebanon students are being admitted at rigorous, competitive post-secondary instiMions. This accomplishment continues to be significant given the environment for admission to top tier colleges has increased significanUy in competitiveness over the past two decades. Because of this increased competition, one area of possible concem that will be carefully monitored over the next few years Is the number and percentage of students getting into the most competitive and highly competitive colleges and universities. In general, national acceptance rates at these institutions have declined significantly in the last two decades. Data related to the percentage of students opting for state affiliated and public, state schools will also be closely scrutinized in coming years.
