Performance Levels

Assigned to each Indicator

  • 6 Indicators for Elementary and Middle Schools
  • 8 Indicators for High Schools

Performance at or above benchmark, or Adequate improvement Below the benchmark, but close, or Improvement from Level 3 Indicators remaining yellow for 4 years become Level 3 (Red) Below performance benchmarks Level 1: At or Above Standard Level 3: Below Standard Level 2: Near Standard or Improving

Achievement Indicators

Indicator Performance Levels Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Combined Rate for Reading and Writing 75% or higher (state benchmark) Between 66% and 74% 65% or Lower Achievement Gaps: Reading and Writing Combined Rate for Math 70% or higher (state benchmark) Between 66% and 69% Achievement Gaps: Math Pass Rate for Science

Combined Rate/Growth Factors

  • Integrates achievement, growth, and progress

measures

  • Student is counted in the numerator if:
  • Student passes
  • Student does not pass, but demonstrates sufficient

growth using progress tables

  • For English Only
  • Student does not pass
  • Student does not demonstrate sufficient growth, but
  • Student is an English Learner (EL), and demonstrates

progress on the WIDA Assessment

English combined rate 8 / 10 = 80% Pass rate on state assessments: Student growth: English Learner progress:
