Iowa School Report Card
(Attendance Center Rankings)
December 3, 2015
Background
• Established by HF 215 of the 2013 legislative session
–Section 73 required the Iowa Department of Education (IDE) to develop a school performance system and report card for all attendance centers (schools)
• Rank and classify schools into six categories using multiple measures
–Exceptional–High performing–Commendable–Acceptable–Needs Improvement–Priority
• IDE has branded this rating system as the Iowa School Report Card
Measures
• Legislation stated the measures to be used
• IDE defined the measures and how the measures are combined into one value for a rating determination
Measures
• Student Proficiency
• Closing Achievement Gaps
• College and Career Ready Growth
• Annual Expected Growth
• College Readiness Rate
• Graduation Rate
• Attendance Rate
• Staff Retention
• Parent Involvement, Engagement, and Satisfaction*
• Community Activities and Involvement*
*not included in current release of ratings
Two-Year Data Average
• To reduce fluctuation in ratings, the most recently available two years of data are averaged together for each measure
• This is done with Iowa small schools in mind, where changes of a few students can result in large shifts in percentages
Student Proficiency
• Percent proficient on state accountability test (Iowa Assessments and Alternate Assessment) in reading and mathematics for full academic year students in grades 3-8 & 11
Closing Achievement Gaps
• Will be calculated for a “super subgroup” comprised of all free/reduced lunch, ELL, and special education students (IDE calls this the Gaps Group)
• The super subgroup is compared to all other students in the school (IDE calls this the Non-Gaps Group)
• Each student will be counted once in the model, even if by belong to more than one subgroup
• Based on results of state accountability test (Iowa Assessments and Alternate Assessment) in reading and mathematics for full academic year students in grades 3-8 & 11
Closing Achievement Gaps Calculation Example
• The achievement decreased from 2014 to 2015 by 5%. 10 – 15 = -5

Closing Achievement Gaps Calculation Example
• All Closing Achievement Gap values are transformed to a normal distribution with a mean of 0.

College and Career Ready Growth
• New growth towards college readiness model designed by the IDE
• Calculated for reading and mathematics using Iowa Assessment scores for grades 4-8 & 11 (only calculated for students with 2 data points; student must be FAY the 2nd year)
• Net gain in standard score a student needs to make to be on target for hitting college readiness by the end of their high school career
• If student is already at target, they must make typical growth
College and Career Ready Growth: DMPS 4th Grade Student Data
Range of gain needed for growth
Students with increased growth expectations
4%
• The gain in standard score needed to make growth varies from 15 to 20 standard scores based on the student’s previous year (2013) standard score.
• Among the students who did not make growth according to the model, 4 percent met or exceeded a standard score gain of 15, the gain expected of high achieving students in the model.
College and Career Ready Growth: DMPS 7th Grade Student Data
Students with increased growth expectations
Range of gain needed for growth
26%
• The gain in standard score needed to make growth varies from 12 to 25 standard scores based on the student’s previous year (2013) standard score.
• Among the students who did not make growth according to the model, 26 percent met or exceeded a standard score gain of 12, the gain expected of high achieving students in the model.
College and Career Ready Growth: DMPS 11th Grade Student Data
Students with increased growth expectations
Range of gain needed for growth
38%
26%
• The gain in standard score needed to make growth varies from 7 to 80 standard scores based on the student’s previous year (2013) standard score.
• Among the students who did not make growth according to the model, 38 percent met or exceeded a standard score gain of 7, the gain expected of high achieving students in the ACR model. Additionally, 26 percent (246 students) gained at least 14 standard score points, doubling the gains expected for high achieving students.
College and Career Ready Growth: Student Example
• Student A: Refugee from Burma, arrived as a 9th grader in the summer of 2011. At 10th grade, reading at a 1st grade level. Must grow by 80 standard scores in her 11th grade year (over 11 times the average 11th grader) to make growth.
• Student B: Attended DMPS since kindergarten. At 10th grade, reading at a post-secondary level. Must grow by 7 standard scores in his 11th grade year (average growth) to make growth.

Iowa Assessment Standard Scores Needed to be On Trajectory for College Readiness
Student A Student B
College and Career Ready Growth: Student Example
• Student A: Grew by 69 standard scores, advancing from reading at a 1st grade level to reading at a 6th grade level. Did not make growth
• Student B: Grew by 7 standard scores. Makes growth while demonstrating only 10 percent of the growth of student A.

Annual Expected Growth
• The percentage of students making a year of academic growth in a year’s time on the reading and mathematics state accountability tests (known as typical growth in DMPS) (includes FAY students in grades 4-8 & 11)

College & Career Readiness Rates (MS & HS Only)
• Percentage of students scoring at or above a level on the reading and mathematics Iowa Assessments that predict a high probability of postsecondary success (middle and high schools only) (includes FAY students in grades 6-8, 10, & 11)Grade Reading (NSS) Mathematics (NSS)

Graduation Rate (HS Only)
• 5-year Cohort Rate: The percentage of ninth-grade students who finished high school within five years
• (FG + TIG) / (F + TI + TO)
• For the graduating class of 2013 (expected graduation year) FG = First-time 9th grade students in fall of 2009 and
graduated in 2014 or earlier TIG = Students who transferred in grades 9 to 12 and
graduated in 2014 or earlier F = First-time 9th grade students in fall of 2009 TI = Transferred in the first-time 9th graders’ cohort in
grades 9 to 12 TO = Transfer out (including emigrates and deceased)
Attendance Rate
• The total number of days students were present divided by the total number enrolled, aggregated for all students in the school (grades K-12)
Staff Retention
• Will use data from the IDE’s annual staff data collection to match license (folder) numbers across years
• All full-time licensed professionals (teaching and administrative) in a school (excludes nurses and athletic coaches)
• Retention = (# of staff members employed the previous year and still working at the school the current year) / (total # of staff members in the current year)

Iowa School Report Card Talking Points
• The goal of the Iowa School Report Card is to present data in a way that makes it easier for the public to access. This tool may add to conversations about schools, but measures and ratings are based on limited data.
• The Iowa School Report Card ratings do not take increases in student achievement into account. A school may demonstrate significant increases in proficiency from year to year and the gains will not be reflected in the school’s rating.
• Iowa Assessment results represent the majority (78-87%, depending on school level) of the measures in the Iowa School Report Card. Therefore, ratings have little to no insight on school performance beyond basic student proficiency.
• Only 11 to 14 percent (depending on level) of the Iowa School Report Card ratings are based on growth. Therefore, ratings do not reflect the value-add that schools provide to students and are more of a reflection of the demographics of the school.
• DMPS will not use the Iowa School Report Card to inform decision-making in the district.
