Executive Summary* * Citations provided in the main text. Assessing a high school’s effectiveness is not straightforward. Comparing a school’s standardized test scores to those of other schools is one approach to measuring effectiveness, but a major objection to this method is that students’ test scores tend to be related to students’ “socioeconomic” status — family household income, for example, or parents’ educational background. These factors, however, are outside a school’s control.

The Michigan Public High School Context and Performance Report Card is an attempt to provide a better “apples-to-apples” comparison of public high schools by adjusting their students’ average standardized test scores to account for disparities in the socioeconomic status of their student populations.

Socioeconomic status in the Context and Performance (“CAP”) Report Card is measured by the percentage of a school’s students who qualify for a free or reduced-price lunch under the federal government’s National School Lunch Program. The standardized tests used in the report card are from the Michigan Merit Examination — including the ACT® test — taken by the schools’ 11th- graders from 2008 through 2011.

We used regression analysis to measure the relationship between student test results and subsidized-lunch counts in Michigan’s general education public high schools (schools focused on special education or alternative education were excluded from our analysis). We then determined whether each school’s student population performed better or worse than projected based on the school’s subsidized-lunch counts.

The resulting “CAP Score” for a school was above 100 if the school exceeded its projected performance and below 100 if the school fell short (the statewide average CAP Score was set at 100). Grades were assigned using a standard bell curve, with 10 percent of the schools receiving an A, 20 percent receiving a B, 40 percent receiving a C, 20 percent receiving a D and 10 percent receiving an F.

Star , a public charter school in Dearborn Heights, received the state’s highest CAP Score at 140.8 (an A), while ’s had the lowest CAP Score at 70.8 (an F). North Huron School had the highest CAP Score among conventional district-run high schools: 123.3 (an A). City Middle/High School in Grand Rapids received the highest CAP Score — 130.5 (an A) — among schools that use a selective admissions policy.

Following guidelines established by the U.S. Census Bureau and the National Center for Education Statistics, the high schools were divided into four major “locales”: city, suburb, town and rural. Public high schools located in towns had the highest average CAP Score among the four locale groups — 101.5. They were followed by rural (101), suburban (100) and city (98.9) high schools.

It is important to remember that these CAP Scores and grades are relative. Each high school is assessed based on its performance compared to other high schools in the state; CAP Scores do not indicate how well these high schools compare to those in other states or countries. Moreover, CAP Scores do not adjust for every factor that may lie outside a school’s control. Nevertheless, by accounting for a major factor that is substantially related to student achievement and outside a school’s control, the CAP Report Card improves the quality of information publicly available to Michigan parents, taxpayers, school officials and policymakers.

The letter grades were based 35 For more discussion of the process of calculating CAP Scores on a standard bell curve distribution, with 10 percent of the schools receiving A’s, and letter grades, see “Appendix B: 20 percent receiving B’s, 40 percent receiving C’s, 20 percent receiving D’s and Calculating CAP Scores and Letter 10 percent receiving F’s.35 Grades.” 36 The locale codes are based on These grades and CAP Scores are relative — in other words, they are not based U.S. Census Bureau classifications and assigned by the National on an absolute standard of academic performance.

37 There are several other differences between charter public Classifying Schools schools and district-run schools. Charter schools can operate any As noted in the previous section, FRL counts are a significant predictor of a high grade configuration from kindergarten school’s average academic performance. Nevertheless, a school’s “locale” — urban, through 12th grade. They are often suburban, town or rural — may be related to its performance. Hence, in the tables managed by private contractors and are exempt from the state’s below, each school’s locale is included, and the four locale classifications are further requirement to grant teachers tenure. subdivided into three subgroups apiece: large cities, midsize cities and small cities; large suburbs, midsize suburbs and small suburbs; fringe towns, distant towns and remote towns; and fringe rural, distant rural and remote rural. 36 The use of these locale classifications will help indicate any systematic achievement gaps that may arise among schools based on their type of community.

Some public high schools in Michigan use selective admissions policies that require students to meet certain academic requirements in order to enroll. Average test scores from these selective schools are often higher than those from schools without such policies. The names of such selective public high schools are listed as “selective” in our CAP Score tables.

Charter public high schools, known legally as public school academies, operate somewhat differently from conventional district-run high schools. Charter schools are individually managed and rely entirely on parents to choose to enroll their children there, rather than at conventional high schools.37 Charter public high schools are labeled “charter” in our CAP Score tables. Conventional district- run high schools, in contrast, are labeled “conventional.”

Not all high schools have four years of data publicly available in each standardized test subject. Average CAP Scores were still calculated for these schools, but their names are marked with a dagger.

Selected Results The CAP Scores for 684 Michigan public high schools appear in the next section (see “The Complete Report Card”), where the schools are listed first alphabetically, then by score and then by locale. Note that the results listed in that section — as throughout this study — exclude public high schools that focus on special education or alternative education.

Immediately below are tables displaying selected results from the analysis. These results are generally the highest- and lowest-performing schools based on CAP Score.

Graphic 1 lists the public high schools with the 20 highest CAP Scores in the state. Public charter schools and district-run selective admissions schools account for 12 of the top 20. Although city high schools had the lowest average CAP Scores among the locale groups, 11 of the top 20 public high schools are located in cities. Conversely, only one town high school made the list of the top 20 CAP Scores, despite the fact that town high schools had the highest average CAP Scores of the four locale groups.

The list of the 20 lowest CAP Scores is disproportionately populated by city high schools — 17 of the 20 (see Graphic 2). More than half of the bottom 20 are in Detroit. Suburban, town and rural locales each had only one high school among the 20 lowest performers. Six of the lowest-performing high schools were charter public schools.

Graphic 5 displays the top 10 CAP Scores for charter public high schools. A town high school appears on the list, even though only four of Michigan’s charter public high schools are located in town and rural areas. There is a significant difference between CAP Scores of the top three charters and the next three, with a difference of 10.5 points in CAP Scores between the third- and fourth-best performing charter public high schools. Nevertheless, the top four charter schools had higher CAP Scores than any conventional public high school. Four of the top six charter public schools did not have a full four years of data, however.

Just as with the list of the top CAP Scores for charter schools, the list of lowest CAP Scores includes one of the four charter high schools located in town and rural areas. The charter public high schools with the six lowest CAP Scores were among the lowest-scoring public high schools overall (see Graphic 2).

We identified only 11 selective public high schools — that is, schools that admit only those students who meet certain academic standards. The CAP Scores of these selective schools are listed in Graphic 7 below. These scores are among the highest in the state. Given the schools’ selective policies, this may be unsurprising; at the same time, however, the CAP Score attempts to correct for any socioeconomic advantage these schools may have gained through their selective admissions policies.

Based on CAP Scores, six charter public high schools and 31 conventional public high schools outperformed the 10th-best selective admissions school. Nine of the 11 selective public high schools are in city areas; only two are suburban schools; and none are located in towns or rural areas.

The remaining tables in the main text — Graphic 8 through Graphic 16 — discuss the CAP Scores of public high schools based on their locale. Of the four major locale groups, town high schools had the highest average CAP Score, followed closely by those in rural areas (see Graphic 8). On average, high schools in both of these locale groups exceeded their predicted performance based on their students’ socioeconomic status, while those in suburban and city locales did not.

Public high schools in remote rural areas had the highest average CAP Scores among the 12 locale subgroups, followed by remote town high schools. Although city public high schools had the lowest average CAP Score of these four groups, public high schools in small and midsize cities had average CAP Scores that exceeded not only their predicted performance (100), but the CAP Score averages for any of the suburban locale subgroups as well.

However, the top two schools are both in the only classified large city: Detroit. Both charters and selective admissions schools are more likely to be located in cities, and these types of schools dominate the top 10 percent of city high schools.

Graphic 11 shows that just as with city public high schools, the suburban public high schools with the highest CAP Scores were charter schools and selective admissions schools. Three-quarters of the top 10 percent are in large suburbs, but 81 percent of suburban public high schools are in large suburbs, so this outcome is not surprising. The top three CAP Scores among suburban public high schools stand out compared to the CAP Scores of their peers: They are at least 12 points higher than those of any other suburban public high school.

Graphic 14 shows the bottom 10 percent of CAP Scores for town public high schools. Although there are only two town charter public high schools, one of them had the lowest CAP Score among the 79 town public high schools. More than half of the schools on the list were in fringe towns; none was in a remote town.

As Graphic 15 shows, there was a healthy mix of the three different locale subgroups among the best performing rural public high schools based on CAP Scores. Seven among the top 10 percent of rural public high schools were located in fringe rural areas; eight were in distant rural areas; and nine, in remote rural areas. Within this mix, remote rural schools were disproportionately represented; nearly a quarter of them made the top 10 percent of rural public high schools based on CAP Scores.

Unlike the list of rural public high schools with high CAP Scores in Graphic 15, the list of rural public high schools with the lowest CAP Scores is dominated by fringe and distant rural schools (see Graphic 16). Only one remote rural high school made the list.

The Complete Report Card Below are the CAP Scores for all of Michigan’s general education public high schools for which data were publicly available. The schools are listed in alphabetical order.

Recall that CAP Scores above 100 indicate schools that have performed better than projected on standardized tests given their student population’s socioeconomic status; CAP Scores below 100 indicate schools that have performed worse than projected. Also recall that a school’s “percent rank” indicates the percentage of other schools that scored lower, and that grades were assigned to the schools’ CAP Scores based on a standard bell curve.

Freeman, “Trends in school’s percentage of female students, but found that the variable did not add Educational Equity of Girls & Women: 2004,”(U.S. Department of Education, significantly to the model’s explanatory power (see Graphic 17).

The Arkansas study also included several other variables: the median household income of families with school-age children in a school district; the percentage of school district residents over the age of 25 with at least a high school diploma; the percentage of school district residents over the age of 25 with at least a bachelor’s degree; and the percentage of married parents among the district’s families with school-age children.42 Although some of these variables were found to have a 42 Greene et al., “The statistical relationship to student performance in the Arkansas study,43 we were School Performance Index in Arkansas,”(University of Arkansas, unable to test them in Michigan because these data are not available. 2006), 2-3, http://goo.gl/OGlrQ (accessed March 1, 2012).

Appendix B: Calculating CAP Scores and Letter Grades

Calculating CAP Scores The CAP Score provides an indicator of school performance while controlling for characteristics of the high school. In our analysis, we use both average student performance on the ACT® and Michigan benchmark exams as our primary indicators of student achievement. The various exams have different distributions, and therefore we first adjust the distribution of each exam for each year such that it has a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. More specifically:

(School Avg. — State Avg.) Adjusted Performance = 100 + 15 [ Std. Dev. of State Avg. ]

The CAP Score is a measure intended to control for the performances of schools while controlling for its characteristics with the use of a regression model (Greene et al, 2006). We control for the proportion of students that qualify for free or reduced price lunch (FRL), allowing us to assess the performance of a high school given its demographics. In order to do this, we run ordinary least squares regressions with schools’ test scores as the dependent variable and an FRL index as the independent variable:

Adj_Perfs,t = β0 + β1FRLs,t + μs,t (1) where Adj_Perfs,t is the average test score at school s in year t,

β0 is a constant,

β1 is the estimated impact of FRL index on a school’s average score,

FRLs,t is an index that weights FRL student counts according to the percentage of students eligible for free lunch and reduced-price lunch at school s in year t,46 and 46 See “Appendix C: Free and Reduced-Price Lunch Weights” for µ more detail. s,t is the error term.

The regression outlined in (1) allows us to control for the contribution that FRL percentage has on school achievement. For example, if the coefficient on the FRL index is 0.01, the score for a school with a 100 on the FRL index is on average one point lower than the score for a school with a 0 on the FRL index. If a school with a 100 FRL index obtains a score that is the same as the statewide average, then it would have a residual score of +1.0, since this school scored one point higher than predicted based on the regression coefficient for FRL. After obtaining the coefficient estimates from these regressions, we compare a school’s actual performance relative to the performance “predicted” by the regression.

Mackinac Center for Public Policy The Michigan Public High School Context and Performance Report Card 67

A school’s CAP Score is determined by dividing the school’s actual performance by its predicted performance and multiplying by 100:

Actual Performance CAP Score = 100 * Predicted Performance

Therefore, schools that have a CAP Score over 100 perform better than predicted relative to other schools, and schools that score lower than 100 perform worse than predicted relative to other schools. A school’s average CAP Score for a given test (e.g., the ACT®) is its average CAP Score across years of available data.

Assigning Letter Grades High schools are assigned letter grades for each test based on average CAP Scores across years. CAP Scores are based on performances relative to predicted expectations, and the regression coefficients and residuals are affected by the schools’ performances relative to other schools. Therefore, high school grades are assigned based on a bell curve:

Grade Percentage of Schools A 10 B 20 C 40 D 20 F 10

CAP Scores for test levels are then averaged across years. High schools are assigned a letter grade for average scores based on the same bell curve provided in the table above. For example:

CAP Values School Year Test Score Grade A.D. Johnston 2008 ACT® 101.3 C Jr/Sr High School A.D. Johnston 2009 ACT® 110.8 A Jr/Sr High School A.D. Johnston 2010 ACT® 105.3 B Jr/Sr High School A.D. Johnston 2011 ACT® 100.7 C Jr/Sr High School A.D. Johnston Average ACT® 104.5 B Jr/Sr High School

Mackinac Center for Public Policy The Michigan Public High School Context and Performance Report Card 68

Finally, an overall grade is assigned to each high school for its average of average test levels.47 For example: 47 A school’s overall grade simply averages all available test scores. In some instances, schools are missing CAP Values School Test an average score for a given test in a Score Grade given year. Missing data are largely A.D.

Appendix C: Free and Reduced-Price Lunch Weights We have created a new FRL measure that takes advantage of the fact that the data include both free- and reduced-lunch school head counts. The new measure reweights the counts by multiplying free-lunch eligible students by 2 and reduced- lunch eligible students by 1.48 48 This methodology is also used here: “2011 Arkansas Benchmark Test Results: District by District Scores,” Specifically: (University of Arkansas: Office for Education Policy, 2011), http://goo.gl/ New FRL Index = Sz910 (accessed July 2, 2012). [2 * (Free-Lunch Eligible) + 1 * (Reduced-Lunch Eligible)] 100 * Total School Head Count

Whereas the original FRL percentage variable ranges from 0 to 100, the New FRL Index ranges from 0 to 200, where a school that is 100 percent composed of free-lunch eligible students has a value of 200.

To see the benefit of this measure, consider two hypothetical schools:

School Free-lunch % Reduced-lunch % FRL % New FRL Index School A 0 75 75 75 School B 75 0 75 150

Whereas School A and School B look identical by the FRL percentage measure, the FRL Index highlights that School B is serving a more disadvantaged student body. The regression results indicate that this new measure improves the model’s explanatory power. Results with the alternative, more traditional measure of FRL percentage are available on request.

Mackinac Center for Public Policy The Michigan Public High School Context and Performance Report Card 70

Appendix D: Regression Results To calculate the CAP Scores, we made use of a linear regression that predicts school performance while controlling for a school’s percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunches under the National School Lunch Program. In general, our regression results indicate a statistically significant negative relationship between the percentage of FRL-eligible students and standardized test scores for 11th-graders. This process allows us to adjust a high school’s performance to account for the socioeconomic status of its student population.

Graphic 18 shows the coefficient estimates for the model. In general, the model does a better job of explaining the variations in the data after 2008 (see the adjusted R-squared values).49 49 This period from 2008 through 2011 corresponded to a 24 percent increase in the percentage of Graphic 18: Coefficient Estimates for Model Michigan public school students who (according to the public school School Year districts in which they were enrolled) Test 2008 2009 2010 2011 qualified for an NSLP free or reduced- price lunch.

Appendix E: Filtering the List of Michigan Public High Schools In developing the Context and Performance Report Card, we attempted to include only those Michigan public high schools whose primary purpose was providing general education. We attempted to exclude high schools that served, for example, only students with disabilities or students at risk of dropping out of school. Including data from such specialized high schools would compare too many “apples to oranges” and weaken the results for the statistical model.

Data from the National Center for Education Statistics were used initially to identify and exclude schools that were not primarily engaged in general 50 “Common Core of Data: Build 50 a Table,” (U.S. Department of education. Of the 967 public high schools for which there were 2011 MME Education: National Center for scores, 714 had a “school type” labeled “regular school.” Schools labeled Education Statistics), http://nces “alternative/other school,” “vocational school” and “special education school” .ed.gov/ccd/bat (accessed May 15, were removed from the data set. We also removed another eight schools that were 2012). not labeled as “alternative/other school” by NCES, but were easily identifiable as such.

After these adjustments, we counted 706 “regular” public high schools in Michigan. We then re-examined the NCES dataset and removed 22 more high schools that had identified their “school emphasis” as either “alternative education” or “special education.”

Of the remaining 684 schools, 92 did not have enough data from 2008 to 2011 to be used in the statistical model. Upon review, and after phoning some of these 92 schools, we concluded that 17 of them are alternative high schools. These 17 schools are not listed in the CAP Report Card in Appendix A, while the other 75 high schools are, though they are identified as having insufficient data to receive CAP Scores. In the end, while 667 public high schools appear in Appendix A, only 592 were included in the statistical model for the CAP Report Card.

After examining the results of the model, we called a number of schools whose names suggested their primary focus was not general education. Of these, seven schools were later confirmed by school officials themselves to be special education or alternative schools, even though they were not identified as such in the NCES data. The seven schools were: AdvancePath Academy, Battle Creek Area Learning Center, Butcher Community Center, Community Middle/Community High School, Schools of Choice, Southfield Regional Academic Campus and Trillium Academy.

The results for these seven schools, although included in the model, are not displayed in the CAP Report Card. Hence, with all filtering complete, the CAP Report Card displays results for 585 public high schools.
