Waikanae School Mathematics Progress and Achievement Test Analysis February 2015

About this Assessment

• PAT Mathematics Stanines enable a student’s achievement to be compared against National Norms. They also enable teachers and parents to compare

student performance across cohort groups.

• Stanines and their associated test scores have been scaled and ‘normed’ to fit the ‘Bell Curve of Normal Distribution’.

• This test became available in its current form to schools in 2007.

• There are various components within the test which are used by teachers to target teaching and learning. These are: Number Knowledge, Number

Strategies, Algebra, Geometry/Measurement and Statistics.

• As the Ministry of Education have supplied the Scaled Score match to National Standards we are able provide the Indicative National Standards grades

of Well Below, Below, At, and Above for Years 6 to 8. This has been treated as an indicative end of year (EOY) summative assessment for 2013 due to

the fact that students still have 10 months of learning to undertake in their relevant Year Group.

• As a result of these Ministry Scaled Score Matches we are also able to supply Comparisons to Equivalent Year Group End of Year Performance. It is

important to note with these graphs that students still have 10 months of learning to get to the appropriate ‘Year Level Performance’

Achievement Summary

1. Overall performance across the school is above National Norms. We have 62% of our students at or above Stanine 5. (Norm =60%). This performance

is 2% above the National Norm. This performance is a drop of 7% on 2014

2. Overall performance trends up over the five year groups, beginning at 43% in Year 3 and finishing at 69% by Year 8.

3. In comparison to National Norms our ‘tail’ is small. The tail being the 18% students with Stanine Result 1, 2, or 3 (Norm= 23%). This performance is

9% better than the National Norm

4. Maori Performance is at National Norms and is below other ethnic cohorts within the school. We have 60% of our Maori students at or above

Stanine 5 (Norm =60%) Our performance is 14% above the National Norm for all.

5. Pacific Peoples are well below National Norms with only 26% of students at or above Stanine 5 (Norm =60%) This performance is 34% below the

National Norm.

It is important to note that this group contains only 9 students or 3% of the test population. 6 of the students are English Language Learners. Staff and

management are well aware of this issue and are taking all practical steps to lift the achievement of these students to a level commensurate with others.

Interventions include:

• individualised tutoring for oral language and reading

• in-class teacher aide support in mathematics

• Use of Lexia programme

• Use of differentiated learning task and class groupings and programmes etc.

• ELLP used to guide assessment practices and next learning steps

• This student group will feature in our School Targets for 2015 (see 2015 Charter)

6. Indicative National Standards results show that 78% of students are At or Above the Standard when the results are interpreted as summative

assessment for 2014

7. Results over time were trending up for Pacific Peoples but have taken a dive in 2015 with a drop of 14% however with only 9 students in this cohort it is

unreliable to draw to many statistical conclusions. While the other cohorts measured remain fairly consistent from one year to the next.

8. All cohorts have made pleasing progress from one year to the next. See Equivalent Year Group Graphs on pages 17-21.
