Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 8, August 20, 2024
Section XI-301 - School Performance Score Goal [Formerly LAC 28:LXXXIII.301]A. A school performance score (SPS) shall be calculated for each school. This score shall range from 0.0 to 150.0.B. Each school shall receive its school performance scores under one site code regardless of its grade structure.C. Final accountability results shall be issued by the fall semester of each year and all accountability reports will reflect the configuration of the school as it existed the prior spring semester.1. Beginning in the 2017-2018 school year (2018 SPS), the school performance score for K-7 schools will include an assessment index and a progress index. An interests and opportunities indicator will be included in school performance scores no later than the 2019-2020 school year (2020 SPS).2. Beginning in 2017-2018 (2018 SPS), the school performance score for K-8 schools will include an assessment index, progress index, and dropout/credit accumulation index. The interests and opportunities indicator will be included in school performance scores no later than 2019-2020 school year (2020 SPS). K-8 School Performance Score Indices and Weights |
Index | Grades | Beginning in 2017-18 | No Later than 2019-20 |
3-8 and high school LEAP 2025, Innovative Assessment, LEAP Connect, and ELPT* and ELPT Connect* | Grades K-7 | 75 percent | 70 percent |
Grades K-8 | 70 percent | 65 percent |
Progress Index | Grades K-8 | 25 percent | 25 percent |
Dropout/Credit Accumulation Index | Grade 8 | 5 percent | 5 percent |
Interests and Opportunities | Grades K-8 | NA | 5 percent |
*Beginning in 2023-2024
3. Beginning in the 2017-2018 school year (2018 SPS), the school performance score for schools with a grade 12 will include five indicators as outlined in the table below. The interests and opportunities indicator will be included in school performance scores no later than 2019-2020 school year (2020 SPS). High School Performance Score Indices and Weights |
Index | Grades | Beginning in 2017-2018 | No Later than 2019-2020 |
High school LEAP 2025, LEAP Connect, and ELPT* and ELPT Connect* | Grades 9-12 | 12.5 percent | 12.5 percent |
Progress Index | Grades 9-12 | 12.5 percent | 12.5 percent |
ACT/Work Keys** | Grade 12 and graduating students with last enrollment as grade 11 | 25 percent | 25 percent |
Strength of Diploma Index | Grade 12 | 25 percent | 25 percent |
Cohort Graduation Rate | Grade 12 | 25 percent | 20 percent |
Interests and Opportunities | Grades 9-12 | NA | 5 percent |
*Beginning in 2023-2024
** When calculating a school's ACT index score, students participating in the LEAP Connect assessment shall not be included in the denominator of such calculation unless the students take the ACT.
4. For the 2020-2021 school year, when calculating the 2021 school performance scores (SPS), if the interests and opportunities measure results in a lower SPS than a school would earn using the 2018-2019 weights, then the SPS will be calculated without the interests and opportunities measure using the 2018-2019 weights.5. A combination school (a school with a grade configuration that includes a combination from both categories of schools, K-8 and 9-12), will receive a score from a weighted average of the SPS from the K-8 grades and the SPS from the 9-12 grades. a. The K-8 SPS will be weighted by the number of students eligible to test during the spring test administration.b. The 9-12 SPS will be weighted by the sum of: i. assessment units from students who are initial testers for high school LEAP 2025 plus the students eligible to test ACT (students with high school LEAP 2025 and ACT will count only one time);ii. cohort graduation units from the number of members of the cohort used as the denominator in the graduation index calculation and the graduation rate (Students in cohort will count only one time.).6. For schools with configurations that include grades 9-11, but do not have a grade 12, the school performance score will consist of the indices available.La. Admin. Code tit. 28, § XI-301
