Table 4: School to TPS to State Median OPI Score Comparison
Table 4 presents a historical comparison of the median OPI score for the subject area tested between the median OPI score obtained
by the district and the state. This reveals if a school is scoring higher than the district median OPI or the State median OPI and
consequently tracks if the gaps in median OPI scores are decreasing or increasing. This allows a historical comparison of school to
district to state median OPI scores as a measure of progress of growth obtained or needed.
Discussion Points
• What are the linkages between our school and our feeder schools? Do we have accurate ways of knowing how well they are
preparing students to successfully be ready for our expectations?
• Do we conduct curriculum planning and staff development in the core academic areas with our feeder middle schools?
• Do we routinely get together with them to review student performance data?
• What are the structured interventions available within our school for students in a subject area when we have sound evidence they
are at risk of not demonstrating high levels of performance?
• Are interventions electives or in addition to?
• If they are in addition to, how are communications and linkages between the two classes maintained? Do intervention teachers and
core teachers share the same team or planning time to work together? Is one an extension of the other or are they both separate?
• What are the before school or after school opportunities for students to seek additional assistance?
