A FRASER INSTITUTE OCCASIONAL PAPER Studies in Education Policy are published periodically throughout the year by The Fraser Institute, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

The Fraser Institute is an independent Canadian economic and social research and educational organization. It has as its objective the redirection of public attention to the role of competitive markets in providing for the well-being of Canadians. Where markets work, the Institute’s interest lies in trying to discover prospects for improvement. Where markets do not work, its interest lies in finding the reasons. Where competitive markets have been replaced by government control, the interest of the Institute lies in documenting objectively the nature of the improvement or deterioration resulting from government intervention. The work of the Institute is assisted by an Editorial Advisory Board of internationally renowned economists. The Fraser Institute is a national, federally chartered non-profit organization financed by the sale of its publications and the tax-deductible contributions of its members, foundations, and other supporters; it receives no government funding.

The foundation of the Report Card is an overall rating ance. Because they are based on annually generated of each school’s academic performance. We base our data, we can assess not only each school’s performance Overall rating out of 10 on the school’s performance on in a year but also its improvement or deterioration nine indicators:4 over time.

In this table, schools are ranked (on the left hand side of the page) in descending order (from 1 to 2885) accord- ing to their academic performance as measured by the Overall rating out of ten (shown on the right hand side of the table) for the school year 2001/2002. Each school’s four-year average ranking and Overall rating out of ten are also listed. The higher the overall rating (out of 10), the higher the rank awarded to the school. Where schools tied in the overall rating, they were awarded the same rank. Where less than four years of data was avail- able “n/a” appears in the table.

Not all the province’s elementary schools are included in the tables or the ranking. Private schools are not required to administer the EQAO tests. Since the results of these tests form the basis for this Report Card, only those private schools that chose to administer the EQAO tests could be included. Also excluded are schools at which fewer than fifteen students were enrolled in each of grade 3 and grade 6 and schools that did not generate a sufficiently large set of student data to enable the calculation of an Overall rating out of ten.

The exclusion of a school from the Report Card should in no way be construed as a judgement of the school’s effectiveness.

The Overall rating out of 10 is intended to answer the question, “In general, how is the school doing, academical- ly?” The following is a simplified description of the procedure used to convert the data received from the Ministry of Education into the Overall rating out of 10.

1 Subject by subject, the Average levels and Exams below standard values and each school were standardized by calculating Z, which is defined by:

Z = (X – µ) / σ

where X is the individual school’s result, µ is the mean of the all-schools distribution of results, and σ is the standard deviation of the same all-schools distribution.

2 The subject-by-subject standardized Exams below standard data were then aggregated to produce a weighted average standardized value. The weighting used was the number of student writers in each subject relative to the total number of student writers of the relevant tests.

3 This weighted average Exams below standard result was then re-standardized.

4 The Gender gap values in grade-6 reading and mathematics were each calculated by determining the absolute value of the difference in the level of achievement of male students and female students at the school. The results for each subject were then standardized.

5 The nine standardized indicator results were then combined to produce a weighted average summary stan- dardized score for the school. The weightings used in these calculations were: Average level for each of the six tests—8.3%; Gender gap for each of the grade-6 reading and grade-6 mathematics tests: 10%; Exams below standard—30%. For schools for which there were no gender gap results, the weightings used were: Average level for each of the six tests—10.4%; Exams below standard—37.5%.

6 This summary standardized score was re-standardized.

This standardized score was converted into an overall rating between 0 and 10 as follows:

7 The allowable maximum and minimum standardized scores were set at 2.2 and –3.29 respectively. Scores equal to, or greater than, 2.2 receive an overall rating of 10. This cut-off was chosen because it allows more than one school in a given year to be awarded 10 out of 10. Scores of equal to, or less than, –3.29 receive the lowest overall rating of 0. Schools with scores below –3.29 are likely to be outliers, a statistical

250 Fraser Institute Studies in Educational Policy 251

term used to denote members of a population that appear to have characteristics substantially different from the rest of the population. We chose, therefore, to set the minimum score so as to disregard such extreme differences.

8 The resulting standardized scores were converted into Overall ratings out of 10 according to the formula:

OR = µ + ( σ * StanScore)

where OR is the resulting Overall rating out of 10, µ is the average calculated according to the formula:

µ= (ORmin – 10 (Zmin / Zmax)) / (1 – (Zmin / Zmax))

where σ is the standard deviation calculated according to the formula:

= (10 – µ) / Zmax

and StanScore is the standardized score calculated in (6) above and adjusted as required for minimum and

maximum values as noted in (7) above. As noted in (7) above, ORmin equals zero, Zmin equals –3.29; and

Zmax equals 2.2.

9 Finally, the derived Overall rating out of 10 is rounded to one place of the decimal to reflect the significant number of places of the decimal in the original raw data.

Note that the Overall rating out of 10, based as it is on standardized scores, is a relative rating. That is, in order for a school to show improvement in its Overall rating out of 10, it must improve more than the average. If it improves, but at a rate less than the average, it will show a decline in its rating. Appendix 2: Calculating the Value-added indicators

The Value-added indicators were calculated as follows:

1 For the grade-6 reading and grade-6 mathematics tests, the standardized results were regressed on two inde- pendent variables—parents’ average education and the grade-3 standardized average level achieved by the students at the school in the same subject three years earlier —and the regression coefficients were deter- mined. (See tables below.)

2 For each grade-6 test, the proportions of the standardized result associated with Parents’ average education (yrs) and the relevant grade-3 standardized average level were deducted from the total, according to the for- mula:

G6Seff = G6 – (bEd * EdMEP) – (bg3 * G3)

where G6Seff is the component of the grade-6 standardized results attributed to school effects; G6 is the actu-

al, standardized grade-6 average level; bEd is the regression coefficient for parents’ average education; EdMEP

is the actual parents’ average education (yrs) at the school; bg3 is the grade-3 standardized average level regression coefficient; and, G3 is the actual grade-3 standardized average level.

3 The proportion of the grade-6 standardized average level attributed to school effects (G6Seff) was standard- ized.

4 The standardized values of G6Seff for all the schools were sorted from highest to lowest and divided into quartiles.

5 The results were converted into a letter grade determined by the quartile into which each result was placed. Schools whose result fell in the 4th (highest scoring) quartile, received a letter grade of A; those in the 3rd quartile received a letter grade of B; those in the 2nd quartile received a letter grade of C; and, those in the 1st quartile (lowest scoring) received a letter grade of D.
