Data Quality

Common ISES Reports

• Third Friday of September Enrollment

• Graduation Rate

• Dropout Summary

• Attendance Rate

• Retention Rate

• Child Count Enrollment for Students with Disabilities

3rd Friday of September EnrollmentBy selecting the options shown, a report of students enrolled and receiving services will be generated. These options will produce a report which includes all students for which your district is responsible regardless of the district providing services.

Graduation RateBy selecting the options shown, a report of students completing high school will be generated. The ‘R%’ column represents the High School Completion Rate (Regular Diploma recipients). Three High School Credential types are available, ‘R’ Regular Diploma, ‘E’ High School Equivalency Diploma and ‘C’ Other Credential.

Dropout SummaryBy selecting the options shown, a report of students considered dropouts for the School Performance Report in grades 7 through 12 will be generated. The students are separated into midterm and full term (summer) dropouts.

Attendance RateBy selecting the options shown, a report of attendance rate by grade similar to that previously collected in the School Performance Report will be generated.

A report of attendance rate by race/ethnicity and gender is another common report.

Retention RateBy selecting the options shown, a report of retention rate by grade similar to that previously collected in the School Performance Report will be generated.

A report of retention rate by race/ethnicity and gender is another common report.

High or Low Enrollment Counts

ISES record must correspond to an existing WSLS enrollment for the district, school, record type and enroll date

Missing ISES Records may result if only one record type has been uploaded/entered

into the ISES may result if new students and transferred students have not

been entered in the WSLS may result if graduates or other withdrawals for 2007-08 have

not been exited (3rd Friday of September) may result if new students for 2008-09 are enrolled on or

before 6/30/2008 (Year End)

High or Low Dropout Counts

May result from: Unresolved expected transfers, Incorrect exit types, or Missing enrollment periods

Low Graduation Rate

May result from: Over-reporting of dropouts, Misreporting of credential type, Incorrect exit types, Missing exit dates, or Incorrect identification as Returned to Regular Education.

Who should review ISES data?

District staff responsible for monitoring Adequate Yearly Progress measures

District Director of Special Education

District Coordinator for ELL

District Homeless Liaisons

District Assessment Coordinator

District Food and Nutrition Services Staff

District Student Services / Enrollment Coordinator

Residency Clarification:

Section II provides guidance for excusal from compulsory attendance.

Section III relates primarily to PI-1563, not the WSLS and ISES.

Spec Ed response provides guidance similar to section III which also applies to WSLS and ISES.

WSLS / ISES response will be published later this spring.

Charter School and State School Data

Data for charter schools is used for federal reporting of charter schools – including performance, test participation, graduation, dropouts, enrollment, etc.

Wisconsin School for the Deaf (WSD) and Wisconsin Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired (WCBVI) enrollment data is gathered is used for state and federal reporting.

Testing Labels:

Improve quality of testing labels and ensure delivery to appropriate district by completing submission of ISES 3rd Friday of September (CD) records by 9/30/09.

Priorities to meet this goal:

1)Update / assign WSLS through the 3rd Friday of September.

2)Complete Exit Confirmation Requests in a timely manner.

3)Provide appropriate Primary Disability and ELP Code in ISES 3rd Friday of September records.

Homeless

Off by 50% statewide when compared to ESEA Consolidated EOY Report.

If the data in the two reports is vastly different, it will reflect poorly on the district. ISES data is used for reporting student performance, graduation

and dropouts for Federal Reporting of homeless students. Counts of eligibility and students served come from ESEA

Consolidated EOY Report.

District Homeless Liaisons and Title X Contacts: dpi.wi.gov/homeless/aspx/homeless_directory.aspx dpi.wi.gov/homeless/pdf/titlexcontacts.pdf

Native Language

137 districts have reported ELL students with English as their native language.

Many test booklets for ACCESS for ELL tests were submitted with invalid Native Language Codes. These codes must be valid codes used by ISES.

Native language is NOT a reflection of the child's proficiency or dominance in English.

Immigrant – Title III

More than ½ of districts reporting had higher participation on grant applications than were reported in ISES.

WSLS/ISES administrators need to be in contact with the Immigrant program director to make sure students are properly identified in ISES.

WSLS

Duplicates

Searching for existings WSNs Hyphenated names Adopted surnames Nicknames

Transferring SIS:

Common Issues: Mismatch of enrollment dates in WSLS and new SIS Missing / unavailable attendance data Uniqueness problems with Local ID 1

DPI Requests: Maintain a relationship with previous vendor through end of

fall collections. Complete the conversion in the summer rather than in

September.

Incidents and RemovalsA single act (incident) may result in multiple removals for a single student.

Take care to report both removals under the single distinct incident.

Firearms IncidentsIncident types related to firearms and weapons have very specific definitions.

Take care to properly select incident type when a weapon is involved.

In general a firearms incident type should be listed as the primary reason for discipline.
