School Accountability Summary
The State released our final Accountability Summary recently for the 2016-17 school year. Let me provide a short description of each area of the summary.
There are four index areas that determine whether or not a school has met the standard set by the State.
Index 1: Student Achievement
This index measures the percentage of passing scores for all STAAR tests taken during the testing window. The minimum standard set by the state is 60, with Pin Oak scoring a 92 for this index.
Index 2: Student Progress
This index measures the students who meet or exceed the growth measure defined by the State, with respect to all student groups and specific student groups. The target score defined by the State is 30, with Pin Oak scoring a 41 for this index.
Index 3: Closing Performance Gaps
This index measures the performance of the the lower performing student groups. The target score set by the State is 26, with Pin Oak scoring 53 for this index.
Index 4: Postsecondary Readiness
This index reflects a performance level that would suggest students are on track for college and career readiness. The target score set by the State is 13, and Pin Oak has a score of 78 for this index.
Distinction Designations
The summary also include Distinction Designations. This section of the Accountability Summary measures a school's performance against the 40 schools most similar from across the State. This becomes our Comparable Schools Group. Schools scoring in the top 25% of the Comparable Schools Group earns a Distinction Designation. Pin Oak earned 6 of 7 Distinctions for Academic Achievement in Reading/ELA, Academic Achievement in Math, Academic Achievement in Science, Academic Achievement in Social Studies, Top 25% in Closing the Performance Gap and Top 25% in Postsecondary Readiness.
