Analysis Trend Questions
1. Within the area of math learning gains
over the past 5 years at the school level,
what has happened to the percent of
students achieving learning gains? Why?
Analysis of Data Trends
Questions
2. What is the contribution of each grade
to the overall school performance in each
year? Are all grades percentages about
the same as the overall percentage? If
not, which grade levels are substantially
different from the overall score? Why?
Analysis of Data Trends
Questions
3. Follow a cohort group of students
across the 3 or 4 years as they progress
through the grade levels at your school
What is happening to their learning gains
in math? Why?
Analysis of Data Trends
Questions
4. What is happening to the learning
gains in math of the lower quartile?

3 ways to make gains:
Improve FCAT Levels
Maintain Level 3, 4, or 5
Improve more than one year within Level 1 or 2

Points to Ponder
82% of the schools would have stayed the
same or improved by the old system.
62% of the schools stayed the same or
improved by the 2006-2007 system.
OASIS on the 2006-2007 system would
have had a C rather than a P. On the old
system, would have had a B.
