


Total California enrollment = 6,147,375.
Divide by 5 = 1,229,475.
Schools ranked from lowest to highest % at
PROFICIENT.
Add up enrollment of schools until reach
1,229,475 (20th percentile) = Western
Gardens Elementary School.
Western Gardens Elementary School has
18% students at PROFICIENT level.
 Must select
HIGHER of two
percentages:
 In order to make
AYP, school must
have 18% of all
students and each

Title IX, Part A
 Rigorous, systematic, and objective
procedures to obtain reliable and valid

Employs systematic, empirical methods that draw

Involves rigorous data analyses that are adequate
to test the stated hypotheses and justify the
general conclusions.
San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools
Scientifically Based Research
Title IX, Part A


Relies on measurements or observational methods that
provide reliable and valid data across evaluators and
observers, across multiple measurements and observations
and across studies by the same or different investigators.
Is evaluated using experimental or quasi-experimental
designs in which individuals, entities, programs, or activities
are assigned to different conditions and with appropriate
controls to evaluate the effects of the condition of interest,
with a preference for random-assignment experiments, or
other designs to the extent that those designs contain withincondition or across-condition controls.
San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools
Scientifically Based Research
Title IX, Part A


Ensures that experimental studies are presented
in sufficient detail and clarity to allow for replication
or, at a minimum, offer the opportunity to build
systematically on their findings.
Has been accepted by a peer-reviewed journal or
approved by a panel of independent experts
through a comparably rigorous, objective, and
scientific review.
San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools
Scientifically Based Research
Title IX, Part A
“If no students are being left behind, and students are
really learning as a result of the use of that particular
program, then we’ve got a program that has
demonstrated success. What we mean by “scientificallybased” is that the program has a scientific history of
effective performance, and has been certified as
effective through scientific research. And so if the
program can stand up to that test, then it is a
“scientifically based” program.”
Secretary of Education Rod Paige
Scholastic Administrator 2002, Volume 1, Issue 3
[In response to a question about whether a program that is producing significant
achievement results meets the definition of “scientifically-based research.”]
