2014 ACCOUNTABILITY
• Schools were expected to make progress toward
Subgroup-specific AMOs
More than half of all subgroups must meet annual AMO
targets in both ELA and Math with goal of all subgroups
scoring at 75% proficient by 2020
WVAI
Must meet targeted index each year with goal of
reaching by 2020:
74.67 for Elementary schools
65.01 for Middle schools
71.71 for High Schools
WVAI: WEST VIRGINIA ACCOUNTABILITY INDEX
Proficiency rates in Mathematics and ELA
Achievement gaps of subgroups in Mathematics
and ELA
Observed growth of subgroups in Mathematics
and ELA in grades 4-11
Adequate growth amount of growth required to
be proficient in Mathematics and ELA in grades 410
Attendance rates for elementary and middle
schools or graduation rates for high schools

THE NEW ACCOUNTABILITY
SYSTEM
A – F SCHOOL GRADING
SYSTEM
• In January 2014, Governor Tomblin asked the WV Board
of Education to establish a simple A-F School Grading
System
• The WVBOE, working with the WVDE and WVOEPA,
developed a system that unites school accountability and
school and district accreditation into a single process
• Policy 2320 was placed for public comment on April 9,
2014 and approved on May 14, 2014 to become effective
July 1, 2014
• Schools will receive their first A-F grade for the 2014-15
school year based on the data from the 2014-15
assessment.
A-F GRADING COMPONENTS
• ACHIEVEMENT: Student proficiency in mathematics and
ELA
• OBSERVED GROWTH: How much students grew
(observed) academically in school year
• ADEQUATE GROWTH: How much students are on track
to be proficient within 3 years
• PERFORMANCE OF LOWEST 25%: Measures the
accelerated improvement of the lowest 25% of students in
each school
• HS GRADUATION RATES: High schools are awarded
points based on each school’s four-year and five-year
adjusted cohort graduation rates

GRADE DESIGNATIONS
•
•
•
•
•
A = distinctive student proficiency
B = commendable student proficiency
C = acceptable student proficiency
D = unacceptable student proficiency
F = lowest student proficiency
On January 30, district superintendents will
receive A-F grades for schools based on 2014
WESTEST 2 data.
These grades will NOT be publicized but will
allow districts to become familiar with the new
Accountability System.

LOWEST 25% ACCELERATION CALCULATION
1. Find the 2013 WESTEST 2 data forms for Math for your school.
2. Count the number of students in grades 4-10 on the 2013 WESTEST 2 Math
data forms who scored in the bottom 25% (look for gray zones). If you receive
students from a feeder school – include the entry grade level in the total
counts (e.g. high schools include 8th grade scores; middle schools include
grade 4).
3. Enter the total number of students in the lowest 25% on your chart (second
line in the equation).
4. Find your 2014 WESTEST 2 data forms for Math that are sorted by last names
of students (alphabetical order).
5. Check to see if the students in the 2013 bottom quartile had high growth
(SGP>or = to 65th percentile) in Math for 2014. Find the total who did and
record the value on your chart.
6. Enter the number of students in the lowest 25% with accelerated growth for
Math on your chart (first line in the equation)
7. Divide the total of students with accelerated growth by the total number of
students in the 2013 lowest quartile and multiply the answer by 100.
8. Record the value on your chart under Total Points.
9. Repeat process for ELA.
POINTS OF CLARITY
18
 Accountability for 2015 will include ALL FAY (135 days)
students tested grades 3-11
 AMOs targets for 2015 MUST be met and will be reported for
federal requirements
 Participation rate for 2015 MUST be > or = to 95% (if 90-94%
grade will be lowered by one grade letter)
 Cell size is 10
 Only impacts observed growth (average of subgroups);
all other calculations are based on the “all” group
 Will report all subgroups for public transparency and for
services delivered via the strategic plan.
 Priority and Focus status remains a federal requirement
but will not impact school grades
