2015 PARCC Results December 8, 2015

Thomas Kenworthy, Ed.D. – Assistant Superintendent

• PARCC results are reported in a number of ways so that districts, schools,

teachers, and parents can see how students performed on each assessment.

• PARCC uses five performance levels that delineate the knowledge, skills,

and practices students were able to demonstrate on the PARCC assessment.

• PARCC assessments have scale scores that range from 650 to 850 for
• verall performance in mathematics and ELA/Literacy. Scale scores are

useful to capture changes in performance over time.

• Subclaims are a set of subject-specific skills that highlight important areas

within a content area to provide a deeper understanding of a student’s

• score. The subclaim reports can be used with other information, such as

grades, teacher feedback, and scores on other assessments, to help determine each student’s unique academic strengths and needs.

• To date 46 states and the District of Columbia

have adopted the Common Core

• There is a federal requirement to have a state

assessment in literacy and math (and science) but states have a choice in which assessment they use to satisfy this requirement

• RI is one of 11 states plus the District of Columbia

in the PARCC consortium

• 18 states are in the Smarter Balanced consortium
• All other states are using their own assessment to

meet the federal requirement

• This a new test and we need to be careful about making

comparisons to previous results (NECAP or NSRE)

• This year’s results will serve as a baseline for future years
• We took the assessment on computer at all grades in Portsmouth
• There is room for improvement in all of our results and we will

work to make those improvements

• Our 8th grade Algebra scores at PMS were 2nd highest in the state
• After levels 4 and 5 most of the rest of our students scored at a

level 3 (approaching expectations) and in some cases were close to proficiency in their scale score

• Several students received a 5 in ELA, math, or both; One student

received a perfect score on the math portion!

Takeaways ys from

• m the Data

• Continue to analyze the data down to the individual student

level

• Look for ways we can continue to support all students and

areas to target in our curriculum review

• Ensure that we have full participation at all grade levels this

year

• Enhance dialogue with students and parents on the purposes

and importance of the assessment

• Work with other districts and at the state level to ensure we

are up to date and ready for changes to the PARCC

• Strive for continuous, sustainable improvement each year
