Combined Ethnicity is a combination of the Black, Hispanic, 2 or More Races, American Indian/Alaska Native, and Hawaiian/Pacific Islander student groups. It is used in School Improvement designations when there are not enough students in those student groups alone to meet the N-count requirements when performing designations.

The data for a lagging indicator are collected, at a minimum, one year prior to the reporting year. Lagging indicators include Regular Attendance, Graduation Rate, Post-Secondary Transition to School, Military, Work.

The definition of Full Academic Year (FAY) is based on the student being continuously enrolled on or before Oct. 1 of the school year until the last day of the testing window for the PSSA, PASA and/or Keystone Exams. Accountability data is reported for students who are FAY.

ESSA requires states to disaggregate achievement and other data by student group, including economically disadvantaged students, English learners, students receiving special education services, and major racial and ethnic groups. Pennsylvania celebrates this facet of the law and has designed its accountability system to ensure maximum transparency around student group performance. Within each school, the performance of any student group that meets the minimum group size of 20 will be calculated and depicted as described above.

This performance measure represents the academic growth of students taking the Pennsylvania System of School Assessments (PSSA) or Keystone Exams relative to their entering achievement and the average statewide growth during the reported year. For details on the inclusion of Keystone scores for PVAAS school reporting, please go to:

Calculations

The PVAAS Academic Growth Score presents the school’s impact on the change in academic achievement levels of groups of students from year-to-year in each of the state assessed content areas.

The PVAAS Growth Index is converted to a 50-100-point scale for each of the following state assessed content areas for ALL students and each applicable subgroup (N > 20):

• English Language Arts: PSSA English Language Arts and Keystone Literature
• Science: PSSA Science and Keystone Biology
• Math: PSSA Math and Keystone Algebra I

Test participation rate is equal to the number of students that have a scored PSSA/PASA exam or grade 11 (Keystone/PASA) students with a Keystone Exam divided by the number of test eligible students enrolled at the end of the test windows for the Grades 3-8 and 11 enrollment snapshots.

This performance measure represents the percentage of all students, enrolled for a full academic year, scoring Advanced on the:

• Pennsylvania System of School Assessment (PSSA) in grades 3 through 8 for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.
• Keystone end of course exams (for federal accountability, Pennsylvania reports students’ best score to date by 11th grade) for Literature, Algebra and Biology; and
• Pennsylvania Alternate System of Assessment (PASA) in grades 3 through 8 and 11 for English Language Arts, Mathematics and Science.

Calculations

Beginning in 2017-18, federally-required provisions for assessment participation may influence proficiency calculations. The calculation includes students taking the PSSA, Keystone Exam, and PASA in grades 3-8 and 11. For schools that exceed 95 percent participation; proficiency will be calculated based on the performance of tested students only. However, where participation rates fall below 95 percent, each subsequent non-tested student must be designated as non-proficient.

Title I Schools designated as Additional Targeted and Support Improvement (A-TSI) schools that do not meet the exit criteria within 4 years are designated for Additional Comprehensive Support and Improvement (ACSI) to provide additional supports to the Schools.

Schools identified will begin a collaborative process - inclusive of State, Local Education Agencies (LEAs), schools, and their communities - to develop action plans and implement evidence-based programs for improvement.

Comprehensive Support and Improvement Schools (CSI): ESSA requires each State to develop a plan to identify schools for support and improvement. CSI schools must include at least the lowest-performing 5 percent of a State’s Title I schools, as well as any high school - Title I or not - with an adjusted cohort graduation rate of 67 percent or less. CSI schools will be identified every three years, beginning fall 2018.

Schools identified will begin a collaborative process - inclusive of State, Local Education Agencies (LEAs), schools, and their communities - to develop action plans and implement evidence-based programs for improvement.

Additional Targeted Support and Improvement (ATSI): ESSA requires each State to develop a plan to identify schools for support and improvement. ATSI designations apply to schools in which performance by one or more student groups falls at or below the level of the bottom 5 percent (CSI) schools. ATSI schools that receive Title I funds and that do not meet state-defined targets over a four-year period may be subject to CSI requirements. ATSI schools will be identified every three years, beginning fall 2018.

Schools identified will begin a collaborative process - inclusive of State, Local Education Agencies (LEAs), schools, and their communities - to develop action plans and implement evidence-based programs for improvement.

Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI): ESSA requires each State to develop a plan to identify schools for support and improvement. TSI designations will function as an early warning system for at-risk student groups and as a signal to schools that may be at future risk for more intensive accountability cycles, such as CSI and ATSI. TSI designations apply to schools in which performance by one or more student groups falls at or below established thresholds drawn from the most recent single year of performance data. TSI schools will be identified every year beginning fall 2019.
