IMPACT OF NEW NAEP CUT SCORES
Grafton Talking Point - The entire State is transitioning to this new system. We will be working with the Department of
Public Instruction to learn about the new measurements and how to improve.
• Significantly reduces numbers and percentages of
students who are Proficient and Advanced
• Not applied to the Wisconsin Alternative Assessment
for Students with Disabilities (WAA-SwD)
• Does not alter data trends
IMPACT OF NEW NAEP CUT SCORES
Grafton Talking Point - Wisconsin schools were measured by state-specific proficiency levels.
The new metrics are based on the higher standards of a national test, called the National
Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) test.
Before Fall 2011
Fall 2011 and Beyond
School Score
Student Achievement
Student Achievement
• Purpose
To indicate how a school’s students’ level of
knowledge and skills compares against state
academic standards
• What is being measured?
A composite of reading and mathematics performance
level profiles for the “all students” group in the
Wisconsin Student Assessment System (WSAS)
NAEP SCORES
WKCE READING – OLD CUT SCORES
School Score
Student Growth
Student Growth
Purpose:
To give schools a single measure that summarizes how rapidly their
students are gaining knowledge and skills from year to year
What is being measured?
Progress toward higher performance levels---A point system rewards
schools for students’ making improved progress and penalizes
schools for regression to performance below proficient
Student Growth
Overview:
• Single score characterizes growth in reading and math
• Score projects anticipated growth
• SGP (Student Growth Percentile) rank
• Composite score for the “all students” group in the
Wisconsin Student Assessment System (WSAS)
• Characterizes the change in WKCE scores from last year to
this year, compared to others with similar score histories

Guide
Sub groups with at
least 20 students
School Score
Closing Gaps
Closing Gaps
Closing Gaps
Purpose:
To provide a measure that corresponds to the statewide goal of
having all students improve while narrowing the achievement and
graduation gaps that often separate different groups of students
What is being measured?
Subgroups are compared against their complementary,
comparison groups
Schools get credit for raising a sub-groups score and deductions
for a decline in any groups performance
School Score
Attendance Rate and
3rd Grade Reading
Achievement.
On-Track and Postsecondary Readiness
On-Track and Postsecondary Readiness
Purpose:
Give schools an indication of how successfully
students are achieving educational milestones
that predict postsecondary readiness.
On-Track and Postsecondary Readiness
Talking Point - Accountability ratings are not only based on student test scores.
Multiple measures give a more accurate picture of how effective our schools are.
On-Track and Postsecondary Readiness
School Score
WES had no
deductions
Student Engagement Indicators
Purpose:
Establish performance expectations for all
elementary schools in two areas that are vital for
measuring school effectiveness:
• Absenteeism Rate
• 3rd Grade Reading Achievement
 Overall school accountability score is reduced by
five points for each goal that is not met.
