Chapter 1: Accountability in New York State Safe Harbor for ELA and Math: Safe Harbor provides an alternate means to meet the Performance Criterion for accountability groups whose PIs are less than their EAMOs in ELA or mathematics. A Safe Harbor Target is a 10 percent improvement over the previous year’s performance. The Safe Harbor Target is calculated using the following equation: Safe Harbor Target = Previous Year’s PI + [(200 − Previous Year’s PI) × 0.10] To make safe harbor in ELA or mathematics, the group’s PI must be equal to or greater than the Safe Harbor Target and the group must qualify for safe harbor in the third indicator (science at the elementary/middle level; graduation rate at the secondary level). In science and graduation rate, if an accountability group has fewer than 30 students (continuously enrolled tested for science; graduation-rate cohort members for graduation rate) based on counts in the current and previous school years combined, no decision can be made in science or graduation rate using the general rules, so the accountability group is considered to have qualified for safe harbor for ELA and math safe harbor determinations. If no student in an accountability group in science is required by grade or age to take the grade 4 or 8 science test, the group is also considered to have made AYP for ELA and math safe harbor determinations. Safe Harbor for ELA and Math for Schools/Districts with Small Groups in the Previous Year: For groups with 30 or more continuously enrolled tested students (elementary/middle level) or accountability cohort members (secondary level) in the current year but fewer than 30 students in the previous year, Safe Harbor Targets are determined by combining the performance of students for the previous two years. If there are 30 or more students combined, a Safe Harbor Target is determined using the PI of the combined group. If there are fewer than 30 students combined, the Safe Harbor Target for the following year is 20. State Standard for Science and Graduation Rate: A State Standard is the criterion value that represents minimally satisfactory performance in science or graduation rate. In 2010–11, the State Standard in science is 100; in graduation rate, the State Standard is 80 percent. Progress Target for Science: For accountability groups below the State Standard in science, the Progress Target is an alternate method for meeting the Performance Criterion or qualifying for Safe Harbor in elementary/middle-level ELA and mathematics based on improvement over the previous year’s performance. The Progress Target is calculated by adding one point to the previous year’s PI. Progress Target Graduation Rate: For accountability groups below the State Standard in graduation rate, the Progress Target is an alternate method for meeting the Performance Criterion or qualifying for Safe Harbor in secondary-level ELA and mathematics based on improvement over the previous year’s performance. For 2010–11 school year data, the Progress Targets are a 20% gap reduction over the previous year’s graduation rate. The 2010–11 Progress Target is calculated by subtracting the percentage of the 2005 cohort earning a local or Regents diploma by August 31, 2009 from 80 (the State Standard), multiplying the result by 0.20, and then adding the result to the percentage of the 2005 cohort earning a local or Regents diploma by August 31, 2009. The method for determining 2011–12 Progress Targets has not yet been established. 18 Student Information Repository System Manual for 2010–11 Version 6.2
Chapter 1: Accountability in New York State Foreign Exchange Students: Foreign exchange students are not included in the PI calculations or graduation-rate calculations. These students must be correctly coded as foreign exchange students to be excluded from these calculations. Home-Schooled Students: Home-schooled students are not included in the PI calculations or graduation-rate calculations. These students must be correctly coded as home schooled to be excluded from these calculations. Performance Criterion for Small Schools/Districts: For schools or districts with fewer than 30 continuously enrolled tested students (at the elementary/middle level) or fewer than 30 cohort members (at the secondary level) in the All Students group, student counts and performance data for the previous year and the current year are combined. If the result is 30 or more students, these data are used to determine PIs and whether the school or district met the performance criterion. If the result is still fewer than 30 students, special procedures are used to determine if the school or district made AYP. Schools/districts that must use special procedures to evaluate their participation and performance are notified by the NYSED to submit additional information for NYSED review. Elementary/Middle-Level Assessments That Can Be Used To Fulfill the Performance Criterion Assessment Eligible Students Scores Grades 3–8 New York State Testing Program (NYSTP) Assessments in ELA and Mathematics New York State Grade 4 Elementary-Level Science and Grade 8 Middle-Level Science Tests Regents Living Environment, Physical Setting/Earth Science, Physical Setting/Chemistry, and Physical Setting/Physics Tests in Lieu of Grade 8 Middle-Level Science Test New York State Alternate Assessments in ELA (Grades 3–8 Equivalent), Mathematics (Grades 3–8 Equivalent), and Science (Grades 4 and 8 Equivalent) All students (general education & students with disabilities) All students (general education & students with disabilities) All students (general education & students with disabilities) Students with severe cognitive disabilities Level 4 Level 3 Level 2 Level 1 Level 4 Level 3 Level 2 Level 1 Level 4 (85–100) Level 3 (65–84) Level 2 (55–64) Level 1 (0–54) Level 4 Level 3 Level 2 Level 1 Grades 3–8 English Language Arts and Mathematics Order of Precedence Rules: If a student has more than one applicable ELA score, the order of precedence for selecting a performance level for use in the PI calculation is: 1) NYSTP and 2) NYSAA. Grade 8 Science Order of Precedence Rules: If an eighth-grader has more than one applicable science score, the order of precedence for selecting a performance level for use in the PI calculation is: 1) New York State Grade 8 Middle-Level Science Test for the current year, 2) NYSAA Grade 8 Equivalent in Science, 3) highest Regents science examination, and 4) New York State Grade 8 Middle-Level Science Test taken by the student in 7th grade in the previous year. 19 Student Information Repository System Manual for 2010–11 Version 6.2
