2006 AYP Results(impacts school year 2006-2007)
AYP Definition Grades Testing Data with dates Report Issued

Basic AYP Decisions
  • Calculate Other Indicator for the school
  • Calculate Participation rate for the school and
    each subgroup
  • Calculate Performance for the school and each
    subgroup
  • Calculate performance
  • If not OK, then check confidence interval
  • If still not OK, then check safe harbor

Old/New AYP Comparison
Old Definition New Definition
Participation 95 (assigned to school that gave the test) No change (note that NECAP and NH-Alt were administered in different years)
Performance Basic calc. Percent Basic or above Index full credit for levels 3 and 4, partial credit for levels 1 and 2
Performance Assigned to school where student took the test Assigned to school where student was taught the tested material
AMO (Annual Measurable Objectives) Starting points based on May 2002 NHEIAP, three year intervals to 100 Starting points based on October 2005 NECAP, two year intervals to 100
Confidence Interval 99 CI based on Binomial distribution (AMO, size) 99 CI based on average within school variance (AMO, size)
Safe Harbor 10 reduction in percent of students at Novice Equi-percentile proxy this year for 10 in addition, other indicator will be evaluated when safe harbor is calculated
Cell Size Performance 11 per group 11 per group

Old/New AYP Comparison
Old Definition New Definition
Other Indicator 90 Attendance (EM Schools) 75 Graduation rate (HS) Same, but now attendance rate based on EOY (End Of Year) district submissions
Withdrew after Oct 2 n/a Excused from testing for affected content areas (must be coded on SRB)
ELL and in the US less than 10 months Counted as participating in reading even if they didnt. Not included in performance for reading or math. No change (must be coded on Student Response Booklet - SRB)
Medical Emergencies n/a Excused from testing for affected content areas (must be state approved)
Enrolled after Oct 2 Not included in any way same
Placement w Private Providers Affects only state report Same (for now)
Out-of-Level Testing n/a Not allowed

Grades 3-8 NECAPAchievement Levels
  • NECAP Cut points
  • Commissioners from VT, RI, and NH adopted cut
    points on January 20
  • Proficiency at the student level includes
    performance at achievement levels 3 and 4.
  • Achievement Levels
  • Level 1 Substantially Below Proficient
  • Level 2 Partially Proficient
  • Level 3 Proficient
  • Level 4 Proficient with Distinction
  • Scaled Scores will be reported as a 3-digit
    number where the first digit is the grade level
    and the other part will be a score 00 to 80
    (reported as whole numbers at the student level).
    X40 is the reported cut point for Proficient.
  • Grade 3 300-380
  • Grade 4 400-480
  • Grade 5 500-580
  • Grade 6 600-680
  • Grade 7 700-780
  • Grade 8 800-880

New AYP Definition some details
  • An External AYP Task Force met to make
    recommendations to the Department. After review
    by the Internal AYP Task Force, we have arrived
    at the following decisions
  • Racial categories (no change)
  • Defined by BOY (Beginning of Year) submissions
  • Other Indicator (no change)
  • Attendance Rate (90 or improvement over previous
    year)
  • Calculated from EOY submissions
  • Participation assigned to testing school
  • Performance assigned to teaching school
  • Full Academic Year (FAY) for performance
    calculations
  • In the future, October 1 of teaching year
  • 310 half days of enrollment is the proxy this year

8
New AYP Definition Minimum n(minimum number of
students in group required in order to perform
calculation)
  • 95 Participation rate 40 for each group within
    testing grades in school or district
  • 75 Graduation rate 40 within school or district
  • 90 Attendance rate 40 within school or district
  • Includes all grades 1-8 in the school or district
  • Performance targets11 for each group within
    testing grades in school or district

9
New AYP Def Index System
  • Modified Index System provides partial credit for
    scores below Proficient. A schools index score
    will be the average of all student index points
    assigned to the school.

Proficiency Level Proficiency Level Index Points
Level 1 Substantially below Proficient X00 0
Level 1 Substantially below Proficient 1a 20
Level 1 Substantially below Proficient 1b 40
Level 2 Partially Proficient 2a 60

0 Un-scoreable (SBP) 0 0
  • The lowest score any scoreable portfolio can
    earn is 13 raw score points. 
  • A raw score of 0 is only possible if the
    portfolio submitted was judged to be unscoreable
    by two trained and independent scorers.

12
New AYP Def Starting Points
  • Starting Points For each content area
    separately, create a new baseline via the 20
    method outlined in NCLB
  • Determine index for each school
  • Rank schools by each index
  • Identify at 20th percentile school
  • 20th percentile school the school where 20 of
    the students in the whole list attend that school
    or a school with a lower index.
  • That schools index is the starting point
  • Starting points Reading 82, Mathematics 76

    61.1 of their students scoring proficient or
    better in reading.

New AYP Def Confidence Intervals
For each subject separately
  1. Calculate the within-school variance for each
    school.
  2. Calculate the average within-school variance for
    the state.
  3. Calculate the standard error for each group
  4. Calculate the 99 confidence interval for each
    group

  • Equi-percentile comparison

Safe Harbor an example
  • For reading, the percent of students scoring
    below 240 on the May 2004 NHEIAP will be compared
    to the percent of students scoring below X37 on
    the October 2005 NECAP.

Special Note on Data
  • Reports based on student demographic and program
    participation data reported by districts
  • EOY (End of Year) files
  • BOY (Beginning of Year) files
  • SPEDIS, ESL, FR systems
  • Known Issues
  • SPEDIS /SASID Match
  • FAY (Full Academic Year) see next page
  • Review AYP Reports carefully
  • Check FAY
  • Check Educational Disability

24
Schools with Known FAY issuesReports for these
schools and for their districts are based on
assuming all student included these schools EOY
files were enrolled for a full academic year. In
fact, not all students in these schools were
enrolled for a full academic year.
