Documenting & Using Results Testing & Accountability Testing and Accountability Under No Child Left Behind Under the No Child Left Behind Act, state departments of education are required to test all students in grades 3–8 and at least one time in high school. The Wyoming Department of Education (WDE) assesses students in grades 3–8 and 11 in the areas of reading, writing and math using the Proficiency Assessment for Wyoming Students (PAWS) test. During the 2007–2008 school year, science began to be assessed at grades 4, 8 and 11. At this point in time, science does not apply to the AYP decision. Results from the PAWS assessments are used to determine if schools and districts have met the required targeted proficiency level identified in the WDE’s Accountability Plan. The targeted proficiency level that has been set in the areas of language arts and math increases over time until the year 2014 at which time the proficiency level is set at 100 percent of all students scoring proficient or above. When reporting, students are identified as being below basic, basic, proficient or advanced in language arts and math. Schools or districts not meeting the target score are said to have not met AYP. When looking at the AYP data, scores are grouped into three areas; elementary, junior high and high school. Each level has 37 different criteria that are looked at to determine AYP at the school level, which represents 111 criteria at the district level. Results from the 2007–2008 school year indicate Laramie County School District 1 did not meet AYP. The indicators encompass all subgroups including students with an Individual Education Plan (IEP), English Language Learners (ELL), socio-economic status and ethnic subgroups. Along with the overall proficiency level of all students and each subgroup, the WDE has identified two additional indicators. Graduation rate is used at the high school level and lowering the percent of below-basic readers is used at the elementary and junior high level. Results from PAWS, AYP and other data sources are used to determine goal areas for the district improvement plan, which continues to focus on reading and writing, math problem solving and increasing the percent of graduates. 12 • Report Card 2007–2008 www.laramie1.org
