*Aggregate CPI or for subgroups is a simple calculation of the mean for a
given set of students (whole school, by grade level, high-need subgroup,
etc.)
What is PPI?
PPI - Progress and Performance Index
● 100 Point Index Based on the Following Indicators:
● a. ELA Achievement (CPI)
b. Math Achievement (CPI)
c. Science Achievement (CPI)
d. ELA Growth/Improvement (median SGP)
e. Math Growth/Improvement (median SGP)
f. Cohort Graduation Rate (HS only)
g. Annual Dropout Rate (HS only)
● Annual PPI: calculated by adding points earned for each of the above
indicators and dividing the total by the number of indicators assessed.
● Cumulative PPI: calculated for a school/district/student group over a 4
year period
● Accountability measures now go beyond just Math and ELA results

Adding Student Growth...
➔ PPI also Factors in SGP (Student Growth Percentile)
Targets. Calculating Median Student Growth Percentile:
◆
All students receive an SGP percentile rank based on their
achievement relative to their academic peers (students with similar
MCAS performance histories over a three year period).
◆
Students in a specific group are ordered from least to greatest and
the median (values in the middle) is calculated. The Median SGP is
calculated in the aggregate and with respect to subgroups.
◆
The Median SGP is then compared to prior years and points are
assessed based on whether or not targets are hit (next slide)
Median SGP Targets
A group of students is considered on target if:
● The Median SGP is 51 or higher AND/OR:
● The group demonstrates improvement of 10 pts or
greater from the previous year AND/OR:
● The percentage of students NOT proficient decreases
by 10%
Additional Factors for High Schools...
PPI Calculations factors in two additional indicators:
● Annual Dropout Rate: expected to cut the rate in half
by 2017
● Cohort Graduation Rate: expected to hit 90% in four
years, 95% in five years
(There are PPI Indicators and Thresholds that can be viewed
in the School Leaders Guide)
Extra Credit…
Extra Credit and BONUS POINTS!
● Decrease the % of students scoring in Warning on
MCAS by 10% or more from the prior year and earn
25 bonus PPI points! OR…
● Increase the % of students scoring Advanced on
MCAS by 10% or more from the prior year and earn
25 bonus PPI points!
Cumulative PPI
In addition to the Annual PPI, DESE will calculate a
CUMULATIVE PPI over a 4 year span:
● Assigned to all districts with complete data for
Annual PPI calculations over the last 4 years
according to the following weight:
○
○
○
○
40% to the most recent year - 2014
30% - 2013
20% - 2012
10% - 2011
Levels - What Do They Mean?
DESE uses Annual PPI and Cumulative PPI indicators to RANK
schools within their grade spans across the State.
● Rank will be used to classify schools and districts into levels:
1,2,3,4,5
● Level 1 (few): Aggregate Cumulative PPI is 75 or higher; high
needs subgroup cumulative PPI is 75 or higher
● Levels 2/3 (most): Aggregate Cumulative PPI is below 75; high
needs subgroup is below 75. Level 3 designation are for schools
ranked in the 20th percentile or lower.
● Levels 4 & 5 (few): Aggregate Cumulative PPI or Cumulative PPI
for the high needs subgroup is ranked in the lowest 20% when
compared statewide within your school’s grade span. School or
district has not demonstrated progress on key achievement
indicators over multiple years.

Elementary Schools :
★ Math achievement: Students in 3rd, 4th and 5th grades
continue to make gains and or maintain their current
status in Mathematics. The # of students scoring in the
advanced & proficient categories in 3rd grade has
continued to make positive strides increasing from 61 in
2012, to 67 in 2013, and 69 currently in 2014.
MCAS: Spring 2014
Middle School:
● Science, Technology & Engineering achievement: CPI
increased from 67.0 in 2013 to 67.8 in 2014.
● Mathematics Achievement:
● While there were no true gains in Math at BMS the
year, the CPI change was only -1.0 for the aggregate(all
students) and -3.1 for the High Needs students. These
are areas where we are already planning for targeted
assistance.
MCAS: Spring 2014
Saugus High School:
● 10th ELA Achievement: CPI increased from 96.6 in 2013 to
97.5 in 2014. This is 0.7 above the 6 Year Target CPI of
96.8.
● 10th ELA Achievement: ELA Four Year Trends
• 2011: 80% SHS students rated Proficient or Advanced
• 2011: 16% SHS rated Advanced
• 2014: 94% SHS students rated Proficient or Advanced
• 2014: 37% SHS students rated advanced
• 2011: 20% SHS students rated Needs Improvement
• 2014: 5% SHS students rated Needs Improvement
MCAS: Spring 2014
Saugus High School:
● 10th Math Achievement: Still “On Target” to meet 6 Year
CPI Goal.
● 10th Biology: Still “On Target” to meet 6 Year CPI Goal.
● High Needs Subgroup SGP: The High Needs Subgroup is
“On Target” or “Above Target” for SGP Target.
• 10th Math High Needs: 2013 SGP (45.5), 2014 SGP
(52.5)
• 10th ELA High Needs: 2013 SGP (47.0), 2014 SGP
(71.0)
The History of The Test...To Date...
● A total of 541,643 Massachusetts public school students
in grades 3–10 participated in a total of 17 MCAS tests in
English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science
and Technology/Engineering (STE).
● Statewide student achievement improved nominally on six
of the 17 MCAS tests administered in 2014. Between
2013 and 2014, the percentage of students scoring
Proficient or higher in ELA improved at grades 4, 6, and 8.
● This and following Information was taken from the DESE
Spring 2014 MCAS Tests: Summary of State Results
MCAS...Where we are today...
● In Mathematics at grade 3; and in STE at grades 5 and 8.
The only annual changes greater than two percentage
points were in grade 8 Mathematics, where results fell
three points after rising three points the year before, and
grade 8 STE, where results rose by three points after
falling four points the year before.
● Because measures of student achievement often
change incrementally over short periods of time, the
DESE has chosen to release eight year views in a
report in order to reveal achievement trends that have
occurred over multiple years.
Sustainable Growth Versus Meaningful Decline
● Over the eight-year period of MCAS assessments from
2007 to 2014, an increase of five or more percentage
points indicates improvement that has been sustained,
while a decrease of five or more percentage points
indicates that a potentially meaningful decline has
occurred.
Eight-Year Changes in Student Achievement
Shown in the Upcoming Slides Include:
In ELA:
• Grade 10 increased from 71 to 90 percent Proficient or higher
.
In Mathematics:
• Grade 3 increased from 60 to 68 percent Proficient or higher.
• Grade 5 increased from 51 to 61 percent Proficient or higher.
• Grade 6 increased from 52 to 60 percent Proficient or higher.
• Grade 8 increased from 45 to 52 percent Proficient or higher.
Slides of Trends in MCAS Testing...
• Grade 10 increased from 68 to 79 percent Proficient or
higher.
In STE:
• Grade 8 increased from 33 to 42 percent Proficient or
higher.
These are gains that are considered by the state to be
sustainable growth and progress. While each year is
somewhat of a roller coaster as to improvements and
declines our overall goal has to be to continue to grow
and sustain that growth through future cohorts of
students..

Achievement, 2007 - 2014
Every Child, Every Day
We recognize that we want to see greater improvement
from year to year and not just in general…sustained over
time. We accept that in order to do this, we need to start
looking at individual growth.
District wide we are focusing on three big questions…
1.
What do we as teachers want ALL of our student to
know and/or be able to do?
2.
How are we assessing this on a daily, weekly basis?
3.
What are we doing if “They don’t get it”

Moving Forward
Academic Support Grant: Will be used to sponsor academic
support for 8th graders at BMS and 9th and 10th graders
at SHS leading up to the Spring testing season.
Title 1 – Last years re-organization has allowed for more
support of more students in the Warning and Needs
Improvement categories.
PPS and Curriculum offices will be working together to
provide additional supports for students in the High
Needs category,
Making Strides in AP classes and
Standardized Test:
● Total enrollment in AP courses at Saugus High School has more than
doubled for the 2015/2016 school year.
● On October 15, 2014;
● All Freshmen participated in the Readistep testing.
● All Sophomores and Juniors participated in the PSAT testing, at
no cost of their own, proctored by the teachers at Saugus High
School.
● Seniors participated in college visits.
● The District Improvement Plan is currently being updated to support
Professional Development across the curriculum and thereby aiding in
the use and implementation of research based instructional practices to
educate every child. (RBT/UDL/UBD)
