Guiding Question 1:
Which students are most successful on the Algebra 1 EOC test?
Context
• Not all eighth graders were placed into Algebra 1
• Other factors were used to place students– Multiple measures used in making scheduling
decisions• Student Characteristics • Testing history• Prior academic performance• Teacher observations

Guiding Question 2:
How does enrollment in a High School Algebra Course in
Middle School impact Middle School Acceleration Points?
Accountability and AccelerationMiddle Schools
• FY12- Participation only helps
• FY13- Participation counts
Acceleration Component for Middle School Grades
Formula for participation
(EOC test takers*)___________________________________
(EOC test takers* + grade 8 others**)
* at all grades and levels ** grade 8 students who were Level 3+ in grade 7, and not
currently in Algebra, and who did not pass the EOC in grade 6 or 7
