MATH GROWTH Growth Rate: The IPCSC will use the growth rates as determined by the Idaho Accountability Framework measured via the Idaho Standards Achievement Test and reported via the Idaho Report Card.

Meets Standard The school’s growth rate is equal to the average or falls between the average and one standard deviation above the average of the school’s identified comparison group, OR the growth rate increased by at least 10% over the previous year. Approaches Standard The school’s growth rate falls between the average and one standard deviation below the average of the school’s identified comparison group. Does Not Meet Standard The school’s growth rate is more than one standard deviation below the average of the school’s identified comparison group. 4. ELA GROWTH Growth Rate: The IPCSC will use the growth rates as determined by the Idaho Accountability Framework measured via the Idaho Standards Achievement Test and reported via the Idaho Report Card. Growth rate is determined by the percentage of students who made adequate growth towards proficiency. ELA Growth Rubric Exceeds Standard The school’s growth rate is greater than one standard deviation above the average of the school’s identified comparison group, OR the school’s growth rate is in the 90th percentile of all Idaho public schools. Meets Standard The school’s growth rate is equal to the average or falls between the average and one standard deviation above the average of the school’s identified comparison group, OR the growth rate increased by at least 10% over the previous year. Approaches Standard The school’s growth rate falls between the average and one standard deviation below the average of the school’s identified comparison group. Does Not Meet Standard The school’s growth rate is more than one standard deviation below the average of the school’s identified comparison group. 5. LITERACY Early Literacy Proficiency Rate (K-3 only): The IPCSC will use the proficiency rates as determined by the Idaho Accountability Framework measured from the Idaho Reading Indicator and reported via the Idaho Report Card. Literacy Proficiency Rubric Exceeds Standard One of the following is true: • The school’s proficiency rate on the spring administration of the statewide literacy assessment is greater than one standard deviation above the average of the school’s identified comparison group; OR • The school’s proficiency rate on the spring administration of the statewide literacy assessment is at or above 90%; OR • The fall to spring change in proficiency rate is 20% or greater. Meets Standard The school’s proficiency on the spring administration of the statewide literacy assessment is equal to the average or within one standard deviation above the average of the school’s identified comparison group, OR the school’s fall to spring change in proficiency rate is between 10%-19%. Approaches Standard The school’s proficiency on the spring administration of the statewide literacy assessment falls within one standard deviation below the average of the school’s identified comparison group. Does Not Meet Standard The school’s proficiency rate on the spring administration of the statewide literacy assessment is more than one standard deviation below the average of the school’s identified comparison group. 6. COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate (ACGR): High schools will be evaluated based on their 4-Year ACGR. Alternative high schools will be evaluated based on their 5-Year ACGR. The IPCSC annual report will present the previous year’s data, as the current year’s data is not available when Annual Reports are produced.
