Both students who were there for a full academic year and those not there for a full academic year are also included in this file.</p><p>The diagram below illustrates how the participation data relate to the reporting of data on academic achievement.</p><p>SUMMARY - Participation</p><p>C185</p><p>Participati Not Medical ng Participatin Emergenc g y</p><p>C175 Only students with a valid score and an assigned proficiency level</p><p>Which students are not reported in this file? Do not include students reported as a “non-participants” in C185 in the mathematics academic achievement file.</p><p>What if my state assigns non-participants to the lowest level of proficiency? Those students are not reported in these files (for reporting academic achievement results). </p><p>Can my state report academic achievement data on its web site with non- participants assigned to the lowest level of proficiency? Yes. The state will still report the academic achievement data to ED without including the non-participants. In this case, the data on assessments reported by the state will be different than the data on academic achievement reported to ED. </p><p>Are all students reported in all category sets? No. All students should be reported in category set B (by sex (membership)) and in the subtotal. For category set A (by major racial and ethnic groups), see question “what if </p><p>February 2012 10 SY 2011-12 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION C175 – Academic Achievement in Mathematics File Specifications v8.0</p><p> some students are not assigned to a major racial and ethnic group” in section 2.4.4. For the other category sets, only include the students that meet the category being collected. For example, category set C collects information on children with disabilities (IDEA). Do not include students who do not meet that definition in category set C.</p><p>Do any other file specifications collect related data? Yes. The matrix below illustrates the relationship between the data on the assessments and EDFacts data groups and files. This file collects data on academic achievement in mathematics. </p><p>Student Participation Reading/Language Arts Mathematics Science C188, DG589 C185, DG588 C189, DG590 Academic Achievement Reading/Language Arts Mathematics Science C178, DG584 C175, DG583 C179, DG585</p><p>2.4.1 Grade Level What grade levels should be reported? LEA and school records should include all required grade levels that are present in the LEA or school. Mathematics assessments are required in grades 3 through 8 and once in high school. For example, a K-6 school should submit grades 3 through 6, but not 7, 8, and high school.”</p><p>State records must include academic achievement data for all required grades: 3 through 8 and once in high school. </p><p>Why do the permitted values include grades 9 through 12 as well as a value for “High School?” The permitted values are provided so SEAs have more flexibility. For high school grades, assessment results can be reported by specific grade levels or by using the permitted value for high school (HS). Data reported by specific grade levels (i.e., 9, 10, 11, and 12) or high school (HS) will be used for reporting results of statewide assessments in high school. Do not report data using both specific grade level and the permitted value for high school (HS).</p><p>How are assessments of students in grade 9 reported? ESEA, as amended, requires assessments in grades 3 through 8 and high school for mathematics. In ESEA, high school is explained as grades 10, 11, and 12. Students who took assessments in grade 9 should be reported either as grade 9 or as high school.</p><p>February 2012 11 SY 2011-12 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION C175 – Academic Achievement in Mathematics File Specifications v8.0</p><p>2.4.2 Performance Level What performance levels should be reported? The data reported in academic achievement files are reported by state-defined academic achievement (performance) levels. In the files, the state-defined academic achievement levels are labeled as level 1 through level 6. A state must report at least 3 levels. The state defined academic achievement levels are specific to an assessment type. That is, the number (and name) of levels used for the alternate assessment on alternate achievement standards may be different than the number of levels used for the regular assessment, based on the state’s Accountability Workbook.</p><p>The above information is contained in the EMAPS Academic Achievement Levels survey and mapped accordingly. The academic achievement levels used in the academic achievement files must be the same as the academic achievement levels reported in EMAPS. </p><p>Level 1 must be reported as the lowest academic achievement level. Use the other numbers (i.e., 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) sequentially. Use only the numbers needed. For example, if a state has 4 academic achievement levels, the state will report data using numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4. Number 1 will be the lowest level of performance and number 4 will be the highest level. </p><p>How do I get rid of the error: “Student Performance Level Numbers are not contiguous”? This error message indicates that the file includes educational units that have some performance level counts, (L1, L2, L3…etc.) but not all. EDFacts expects that for each category included in the file, the list of performance levels will be contiguous, beginning with L1. Typically, this error message occurs when counts of zero are left out of the file. SEA submitters should make sure that each reported category has all levels used by the state represented, to prevent this error from occurring.</p><p>For example, the state has 4 performance levels. A school in that state had no economically disadvantaged students scoring at levels 1, 2 and 4. The 55 economically disadvantaged students scored at level 3.</p><p>If the records are submitted as follows, the file will receive an error because levels 1 and 2 are missing.</p><p>100,06,01,123456,98765,STUDPERFM,05,,,,,,ECODIS,,REGASSWOACC,,L3,FULLYR,,N,,55</p><p>To avoid the error, the file must be submitted as follows:</p><p>100,06,01,123456,98765,STUDPERFM,05,,,,,,ECODIS,,REGASSWOACC,,L1,FULLYR,,N,,0 101,06,01,123456,98765,STUDPERFM,05,,,,,,ECODIS,,REGASSWOACC,,L2,FULLYR,,N,,0 102,06,01,123456,98765,STUDPERFM,05,,,,,,ECODIS,,REGASSWOACC,,L3,FULLYR,,N,,55 2.4.3 Full Academic Year Status</p><p>February 2012 12 SY 2011-12 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION C175 – Academic Achievement in Mathematics File Specifications v8.0</p><p>Are students who were not present for the full academic year included in this file? Yes. Include both students who were present for the full academic year and those who were not present for the full academic year in this file. These data are used by a variety of sources, many of which do not differentiate on full year academic status. 2.4.4 Major Racial and Ethnic Groups What are the permitted values for major racial and ethnic groups? The permitted values are:</p><p>White (not Hispanic) / Caucasian Black (not Hispanic) / African American Hispanic / Latino Hispanic (not Puerto Rican) Puerto Rican Asian Asian / Pacific Islander American Indian / Alaska Native / Native American Multicultural / Multiethnic / Multiracial / Other Filipino Native Hawaiian / Other Pacific Islander / Pacific Islander</p><p>Which permitted values should be used? States should use whichever permitted values best align with the major racial and ethnic subgroups used to determine adequate yearly progress (AYP) as outlined in their State Accountability Plan.</p><p>What if my state has a major racial and ethnic group labeled as “other?” A few states included a group entitled “other” in their accountability plans. These states should determine if one of the permitted values above adequately describes the group entitled “other.” If one of the permitted values does not adequately describe the group entitled “other,” the SEA should inform ED through PSC. </p><p>What if my state has a major racial and ethnic group that is not listed above? SEAs should inform ED though PSC if the list above does not include all the major racial and ethnic groups used by the state. </p><p>What if some students are not assigned to a major racial and ethnic group? SEAs are required to report academic achievement data by the major racial and ethnic groups, as defined by the State. Some students in the State may not be included in a major racial and ethnic group. Therefore, the data by major racial and ethnic groups in the assessment file will not necessarily equal the total number of students. For this reason, ESS will not include edit checks comparing the total to the aggregation of the number of students reported by the major racial and ethnic groups. 2.4.5 Sex (Membership)</p><p>February 2012 13 SY 2011-12 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION C175 – Academic Achievement in Mathematics File Specifications v8.0</p><p>There are no questions and answers specifically related to the category “sex (membership).” 2.4.6 Disability Status (Only) How are student counts reported by disability status (only)? Report students who meet the definition of children with disabilities (IDEA) in section 4.2 of the EDFacts Workbook.</p><p>Which students should be excluded from the children with disabilities (IDEA) subgroup?  Exclude children with disabilities (IDEA) who are parentally-placed in private schools and served through services plans  Exclude children with disabilities (IDEA) who exited special education within the past two years. 2.4.7 LEP Status (Only) How are student counts by LEP status (only) reported? Include students who meet the definition of limited English proficient (LEP) students in section 4.3 of the EDFacts Workbook. Include recently arrived students who are LEP and who have attended schools in the U.S less than 12 months. </p><p>Which students should be excluded from the limited English proficient student subgroup?  Exclude former LEP students (i.e., those who exited LEP status prior to the testing window within the past two years). 2.4.8 Economically Disadvantaged Status States are required to report assessment data on students who are economically disadvantaged, as defined by the state. 2.4.9 Migrant Status How are student counts reported by migrant status? Include students who meet the definition of eligible migrant students in section 4.4.1 of the EDFacts Workbook.</p><p>Which students should be excluded from eligible migrant students?  Exclude students who are not eligible migrant children but participate in the Migrant Education Program (MEP) under “other provisions2.”</p><p>2 Examples of students who might participate in the MEP under “other provisions”: (1) A child’s eligibility ends during the school term, and the agency provide services for the duration of the term; (2) A child’s eli gibility ends and the agency provides services for an additional school year because comparable services</p><p>February 2012 14 SY 2011-12 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION C175 – Academic Achievement in Mathematics File Specifications v8.0</p><p>2.4.10 Homeless Enrolled Status How are student counts reported by homeless enrolled status? Report children and youth who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. Homeless children and youth include:  Children and youth who are sharing the housing of other persons due to loss of housing, economic hardship, or a similar reason; are living in motels, hotels, trailer parks, or camping grounds due to the lack of alternative adequate accommodations; are living in emergency or transitional shelters; are abandoned in hospitals; or are awaiting foster care placement.  Children and youth who have a primary nighttime residence that is a public or private place not designed for or originally used as a regular sleeping accommodation for human beings.  Children and youths who are living in cars, parks, public spaces, abandoned buildings, substandard housing, bus or train stations, or similar settings3.  Migratory children who qualify as homeless because the children are living in circumstances described in the above.</p><p>2.4.11 NEW! Assessment Administered What are the permitted values for assessment administered? The permitted values are:</p><p> REGASSWOACC - Regular assessments based on grade-level achievement standards without accommodations  REGASSWACC - Regular assessments based on grade-level achievement standards with accommodations  ALTASSGRADELVL - Alternate assessments based on grade-level achievement standards  ALTASSMODACH - Alternate assessments based on modified achievement standards  ALTASSALTACH - Alternate assessments based on alternate achievement standards</p><p>What are the definitions of the permitted values for assessment administered?</p><p> Regular assessment based on grade level academic achievement standards– An assessment designed to measure the student’s knowledge and skills in a particular subject matter based on academic achievement standards appropriate to the student’s grade level.

These assessments may yield results that measure the achievement standards that the State has defined under 34 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §200.1(d).  Alternate assessment based on grade level academic achievement standards - A way to measure the academic achievement of students with disabilities based on the same grade-level achievement standards measured by the State’s regular assessments. Such assessments are available to students who the IEP team determines cannot participate in all or part of the State assessments under paragraph (a)(1) of 34 CFR §200.6, even with appropriate accommodations. These assessments must yield results for the grade in which the student is enrolled in at least reading/language arts, mathematics, and, beginning in SY 2007-08, science, except as provided in 34 CFR §200.6(a)(2)(ii)(B).  Alternate assessment based on modified academic achievement standards - A way to measure the academic achievement of students with disabilities who access the general grade-level curriculum, but whose disabilities have precluded them from achieving grade-level proficiency and who (as determined by the IEP team) are not expected to achieve grade-level proficiency within the year covered by the IEP. See 34 CFR §200.1(e). </p><p>2.4.12 States that Conduct Assessments in the Fall To what does the term “fall testing state” refer? Fall testing states are those that conduct at least one of their statewide assessments during a fall testing window5. </p><p>For fall testing states, are the data reported for the current school year based on the current school year’s content or the prior year’s content? Typically the fall testing states report assessment results based on the prior year’s content. For example:</p><p>Reported in Fall 2011 as Content based on Grade 4 mathematics Grade 3 mathematics </p><p>In a fall testing state, this means that a student’s academic achievement data are reported in the grade of student’s current school year, regardless of the content grade of the assessment. </p><p>4 Alternative assessment – A way to measure the performance of students who are unable to participate i n general large-scale assessments even with accommodations. The student’s individual education plan (I EP) team makes the determination of whether a student is able to take the regular assessment. 5 This does not include those states that conduct year-round statewide assessments.</p><p>February 2012 16 SY 2011-12 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION C175 – Academic Achievement in Mathematics File Specifications v8.0</p><p>How do fall testing states report their SY 2011-12 assessment data?
