The Cowen Institute for Public Education Initiatives at advances the success of children and young adults on their educational pathways through research, policy analysis, and initiatives that support youth. NOLA BY THE NUMBERS: 2014 SCHOOL PERFORMANCE SCORES

Introduction Each year, the Department of Education (LDOE) publishes School Performance Scores (SPS). Te Cowen Institute provides a review of the LDOE 31.1% data (see Appendix B for data sources) in order to help the public and policymakers of students are in schools with an better understand school quality in New Orleans. Tis report explains the 2013-14 SPS above the state performance SPS calculation, as well as changes in the grading scale associated with the score, compared to 15.6% in 2002. transition to Common Core and higher standards. With a performance score of 83.4, New Orleans’ 2014 SPS remained unchanged from 2013 and earned a letter 60% grade of C (excluding Type 2 schools and NOCCA). Despite improvements since of schools earned progress points 2005, public school performance in New Orleans continues to lag behind the state. (80% of elementary schools and 13% of high schools). New Orleans Performance Over Time In New Orleans, nearly one-third of students were enrolled in public schools with C an SPS higher than the state performance score in 2014. At 31.1 percent, this rate is the average grade received by is nearly double pre-Hurricane Katrina levels. Figure 1 below illustrates the New Orleans schools. OPSB percentage of students enrolled in public schools in New Orleans with a higher SPS received an A and RSD-New than the state. Te city’s rank within the state has also improved. In 2004, Orleans Orleans received a C. Parish was the lowest-performing district in the state (of 66 districts), but its rank in 2014 was 41 (of 69 districts).

Comparison of absolute performance over time is difficult because components of the District Performance Score (DPS) and SPS and scale for letter grades have changed from year to year. Figure 2 illustrates the number of schools in New Orleans and their performance relative to the state. In 2014, 22 percent of schools (20 schools) in New Orleans reported an SPS above the state performance score, compared to only 13 percent !of schools (15 schools) prior to Hurricane Katrina. School Performance Scores In 1999, LDOE began calculating an SPS for each public schools in the state. Based on the SPS, LDOE assigns each school a letter grade (A-F) to help families and the public understand school quality and performance trends. Te state and districts also use SPS and letter grades to make decisions about state !interventions, closures, and charter renewals and extensions. Te SPS for elementary schools is based on test performance for students in grades 3-8. Schools are given points for LEAP and iLEAP test scores of Basic and above in English language arts (ELA), math, social studies, and science. In addition to test performance, the SPS for schools with 8th grade students includes points for the number of high school credits their 8th graders earn through the end of the 9th grade school year. Elementary schools can also earn progress points for the academic gains made by students who !performed below Basic on LEAP or iLEAP tests in the prior year. How are School Performance Scores Calculated?

ELEMENTARY (K-7) MIDDLE (K-8) HIGH SCHOOL (9-12) Combination School 100% Tests 95% Tests 25% Composite ACT Average of: + Progress Points* 5% High school credits 25% End of Course Tests (K-8 SPS x # Students) + earned by end of 25% Graduation Rate (HS SPS x # Students) freshmen year 25% Quality of Diploma + Progress Points* ! + Progress Points* + Progress Points* *Schools can earn up to 10 progress points for making signifcant progress with students who are struggling. See page 4 for a detailed explanation of how schools earn progress points. Te SPS for high schools is based on their students’ academic achievement (25 Table 1: Transitional Letter percent from end-of-course tests and 25 percent from the ACT) and on Grade Scale graduation results (25 percent from the strength of diploma index and 25 2013-2014 percent from the cohort graduation rate index). Schools can also earn progress 2012-2013 K-8 9-12 points when they make signifcant improvements with students who were !academically behind in the previous school year. A 100-150 100-150 100-150 Te SPS point and letter grade scale changed from a 200 point scale in 2011-12 B 85-99.9 85-99.9 84.3-99.9 to a 150 point scale beginning in 2012-13. Te 2013-14 school letter grade scale is slightly different from the 2012-13 school letter grade scale. Te LDOE C 70-84.9 69.2-84.9 70-84.2 adjusted the 2013-14 letter grade scale to keep the distribution of schools by letter grade for both elementary and high schools the same as 2012-13 (see D 50-69.9 49.9-69.1 46.8-69.9 !Table 1). Tis is part of the LDOE’s transition to Common Core. In addition to letter grades (A-F), a school may get a T. If a turnaround operator F 0-49.9 0-49.8 0-46.7 takes over an entire school that was previously labeled F, the school will receive a T for its frst two years of operation, although the SPS and its components will !be reported. District Performance Scores Districts receive a DPS and letter grade based on the performance of all students in the district. In 2014, the state earned an annual SPS of 89.2 and a letter grade of B. Among the 72 districts in the state, 10 earned the letter grade of A; no district earned an F. Te highest scoring school district in the state was Zachary Community Schools with a DPS of 114.4, followed by Orleans Parish (OPSB schools only) with a DPS of 109.2. RSD-New Orleans reported a DPS of 71.2, earning a letter grade of C. Te lowest performing school districts in the state included RSD-Louisiana with a DPS of 50.1 and St. Helena Parish with a DPS of 51.4 in 2014. Te graphic below illustrates the 2014 DPS of districts in the state. Figure 3: Map of District Performance Scores, 2013-2014

New Orleans also has a much lower percentage of its schools receiving a letter grade of A or B relative to the state (29% vs. 46%). Statewide, there were six T schools, all of which were located in New Orleans. Of schools in New Orleans with scores for both years, 44 percent improved between 2012-13 and 2013-14.

In 2013-14, elementary (K-8) schools were eligible for progress points when more than 50 percent of non- profcient students exceed their target score, up from 30 percent in 2012-13. High schools (9-12) are eligible for progress points when at least 30 percent of those students score at the top of the expected score range or higher, as determined by the ACT series. For schools with K-8 and 9-12 confgurations, the progress points earned at each grade confguration are added together. If the sum exceeds 10, a !maximum of 10 progress points are awarded and added to the SPS. More schools in New Orleans were awarded progress points in 2013-14 (52 schools) than in 2012-13 (44 schools). However, the average points awarded declined from 8.9 to 7.2 per school. A higher percentage of elementary (80%) and !combination (71%) schools were awarded progress points than high schools (13%).

Elementary schools without 8th grade are evaluated based on their students’ performance on Advanced 150 standardized tests. Te K-8 student assessment index is calculated by adding the Mastery 125 total points awarded and dividing that by the number of tests taken (ELA and math Basic 100 scores are weighted double in the calculation).

While schools with an 8th grade are predominately evaluated based on their students’ performance on standardized tests (95% of their total score), schools also receive points based on how many credits their former students earn by the end of 9th grade (5% of their total score).2 Students are expected to have earned at least six credits by the end of their freshman year. In New Orleans, eight middle schools had over 95 percent of their graduates receive at least six credits by the end of their freshmen year. Across the state, 81 percent of high school freshmen received the expected number of credits.
