Fall 2012 RI NECAP Results for Students in Grades 3‐8, and 11 P a g e | 1

NOTE 1: The New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) is the result of collaboration among Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont to build a set of tests for grades 3 through 8 and 11 to meet the requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). The purposes of the NECAP tests are as follows: (1) provide data on student achievement in reading/language arts and mathematics to meet the requirements of NCLB; (2) provide information to support program evaluation and improvement; and (3) provide information regarding student and school performance to both parents and the public. The tests are constructed to meet rigorous technical criteria, to include universal design elements and accommodations to allow all students access to test content, and to gather reliable student demographic information for accurate reporting. It is important to note that NECAP results are provided to districts, schools, and families for use as one piece of evidence about progress and learning that occurred on the prior year’s grade‐level expectations (GLEs) of elementary and middle schools and the grade‐span expectations (GSEs) of high schools.

NOTE 2: The NECAP tests in reading, mathematics, and writing are administered each fall and assess student achievement based on the prior year’s GLEs/GSEs. For example, the NECAP Grade 5 tests assess student performance on the Grade 4 GLEs. NECAP school‐ and district‐level Mathematics, Reading, and Writing reports are available in two ways: “testing‐year” and “teaching‐year.” Testing‐year results are those of the school and district in which students took their NECAP tests in the fall of the current school year whereas teaching‐year results are those of the school and district in which students received instruction during the prior school year. Throughout this report, all NECAP results data are reported according to testing‐year as opposed to teaching‐year. Therefore it is important to note that results in this report are reflective of student performance and not necessarily school or district performance. This is an important distinction for middle schools and charter schools in particular as incoming students received instruction on the GLEs being assessed in another school.

NOTE 3: Throughout this report, statistical significance is reported to indicate whether reported differences (e.g., increases or decreases in the percentage of students achieving proficiency or higher) in this year’s NECAP results are significantly different from results reported in previous years. For each table presented in this report, please note the key to determine the meaning of color‐coded cells. In general, if a cell is colored green, then the reported difference indicates that the percentage of students achieving proficiency or higher, for example, is statistically significantly higher than previous results whereas if the cell is red, then the reported difference indicates that the percentage of students achieving proficiency or higher is statistically significantly lower than previous results. All other reported differences are thus not considered statistically significant, regardless of how large or small they appear to be. Please see Appendix B for a full discussion on how statistical significance was calculated and how to interpret statistical significance.

NOTE 4: Throughout this report, with the exception of Standard Errors (SE) and n sizes (e.g. number of students tested), all numbers have been rounded to the nearest whole number.

NOTE 5: Throughout this report, the percentage of students scoring Proficient or higher refers to the cumulative percentage of students scoring at the Proficient and Proficient with Distinction levels of achievement. See Appendix A for descriptions of each of the levels.

EEXXEECCUUTTIIVVEE SSUUMMMMAARRYY The eighth1 administration of the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) tests took place in October, 2012. A total of 73,817 Rhode Island public school students in grades three through eight and eleven participated in NECAP Reading, Writing, and Mathematics tests.2

Overall Achievement

Student achievement statewide improved on two of the grade‐level Reading tests and two of the grade‐level Mathematics tests. Compared to last year’s results, the percentage of students scoring Proficient or higher in Reading this year increased at grades five and eleven but decreased in grade three. For all other grades, Reading scores were not significantly different from last year. In Mathematics, the percentage of students scoring Proficient or higher increased in grades seven and eleven but remained constant in all other grades.

Trends in Achievement 3

This year Rhode Island students in eleventh grade fared well compared to their peers in New Hampshire and Vermont,4 improving two percentage points (from 77% to 79%) in Reading proficiency and four percentage points (from 30% to 34%) in Mathematics proficiency.5 By comparison, New Hampshire’s Reading scores remained constant (77%) and Mathematics scores went up two points (from 36% to 38%) while Vermont’s Reading scores improved by two percentage points in both Reading and Mathematics (72% to 74% and 36% to 38%, respectively). It bears noting that this year’s eleventh grade Reading test results marks only the second time since 2007 that Rhode Island’s students outperformed their peers in both New Hampshire and Vermont on this test. For students in third grade through eighth grade across all NECAP states, results either remained constant or went down compared to last year’s Reading and Mathematics results.6

Because measures of student achievement often change incrementally over short periods of time, RIDE presents most state‐, district/LEA, and school‐level results in this report as a series of five‐year views in order to reveal achievement trends that have occurred over multiple years. In

1 The eighth administration of the NECAP tests for students in Grades 3 through 8 and the sixth administration for students in Grade 11 took place this past fall, October 1‐23, 2012. 2 All seven tested grades (3‐8 and 11) administer the NECAP Reading and Mathematics tests while Grades 5, 8, and 11 also administer the NECAP Writing test. 3 Multiple data points are needed for trend analysis. A single year’s test results provide limited information about a school or district. As with any evaluation, test results are most meaningful when compared with other indicators and when examined over several years for long‐term trends in student performance. This is especially true in small schools where changes in student cohorts from year to year can have a noticeable influence on test results. 4 Maine only administers NECAP tests to students in Grades 3 through 8 and not to students in Grade 11. 5 See Tables 8 and 9 on page 10. 6 Note that for the state‐by‐state comparisons, results for Grades 3 through 8 are aggregated to produce a single number for comparison purposes.


addition, RIDE presents last year’s results to illustrate a one‐year view. In general, over the five‐year period from 2008 to 2012, a statistically significant7 increase indicates improvement that has been sustained. Conversely, a statistically significant decrease indicates a sustained decline in achievement.

For most grade levels there were notable increases in achievement in Reading and Mathematics over the past five years.8 The bar graph below provides a quick overview of the grades with significant improvements.

Five‐Year Increases in Student Achievement: 2008 to 2012

The five‐year increases in student achievement shown above include:

In READING: • Fifth grade increased from 68 to 72 percent Proficient or higher. • Sixth grade increased from 68 to 73 percent Proficient or higher. • Eighth grade increased from 65 to 77 percent Proficient or higher. • Eleventh grade increased from 69 to 79 percent Proficient or higher.

In MATHEMATICS: • Sixth grade increased from 55 to 62 percent Proficient or higher. • Seventh grade increased from 52 to 59 percent Proficient or higher. • Eighth grade increased from 53 to 58 percent Proficient or higher. • Eleventh grade increased from 27 to 34 percent Proficient or higher.

It bears noting that third and fourth grade students’ performance on the 2012 Reading and Mathematics tests was not significantly different than on the 2008 NECAP tests. Similarly,

7 See Appendix B on page 51 for details. 8 See Tables 1 and 2 on page 7.


seventh grade student achievement on the Reading test and fifth grade student achievement on the Mathematics test were not statistically significantly different than in 2008.9 For most student groups there were notable achievement gains in Reading and Mathematics over the past five years.10 In Reading, Black, Hispanic, and White students improved six, six, and five percentage points respectively since 2008. Similar improvements were posted by LEP and Low‐Income students with four and seven percentage point gains respectively. LEP‐Monitored students had the largest gains in Reading, improving 18 percentage points from 2008 to 2012. In Mathematics, Black, Hispanic, and White students improved five, six, and six percentage points respectively and Low‐Income students had a six percentage point gain. LEP‐Monitored students had the largest gains in Mathematics as well with a 17 percentage point gain from 2008 to 2012. Students with IEPs were the only group to post a significant decrease, with a four percentage point drop in Mathematics performance compared to results five years ago.

Achievement Gaps 11, 12

Achievement gaps between student with IEPs and students without IEPs continue a general widening trend at all grade levels in Reading and Mathematics. The widest gaps are most often found at sixth and seventh grades for Reading and at sixth and eighth grades for Mathematics. The achievement gaps in Reading and Mathematics between LEP and Non‐LEP students and between Low‐Income and Non‐Low‐Income students have generally narrowed for students in third and fourth grades since 2005 while the gaps have generally widened in all other grades. The widest gaps for both of these student groups has consistently been found at eleventh grade in Reading, where this year the gaps have widened to 71 percentage points each.

DDIISSTTRRIICCTT//LLEEAA‐‐LLEEVVEELL RREESSUULLTTSS

Compared to last year’s results, there was very little change at the district/LEA‐level this year in terms of student achievement in Reading or Mathematics.13 Only one of Rhode Island’s 54 districts/LEAs posted a significant gain in Reading and one posted a significant drop. The same is true for Mathematics. For all other districts/LEAs, scores in both Reading and Mathematics were essentially the same as last year. Over the five‐year period from 2008 to 2012, however there were far more districts/LEAs that posted gains in Reading and Mathematics. In terms of how LEP students, Low‐Income students, and students with IEPs performed on the Reading and Mathematics tests this year, results were mixed at the district/LEA level. LEP

9 See Tables 4 and 5 on page 8. 10 See Table 11 on page 11 and Table 12 on page 12. 11 An achievement gap is a difference in what distinct groups of students know and can do in important subjects such as reading or math. One way we find achievement gaps is by comparing test scores for groups of students. One way we describe gaps is by subtracting the average of a lower scoring group from the average of a higher scoring group. 12 See Tables 13 and 14 on page 13. 13 See Table 16 on page 15.


students fared best in both Reading and Mathematics compared to last year with more districts/LEAs posting gains. While Low‐Income students and students with IEPs also posted gains in Reading and Mathematics at the district/LEA level, there were lower percentages of districts/LEAs that did so.

SSCCHHOOOOLL‐‐LLEEVVEELL RREESSUULLTTSS14

Results at the school level mirrored those of district/LEA‐level in that for the vast majority, Reading and Mathematics results were not significantly different than last year’s. A total of five schools posted significant increases in the percentage of students achieving proficiency or above in Reading while six posted significant decreases. For Mathematics, nine schools posted significant gains while three posted losses. Over the five‐year period from 2008 to 2012, there were a large number of schools that posted gains in Reading and Mathematics. In Reading, 43 schools made gains while only three schools had lower percentages. In Mathematics, 50 schools had significantly higher percentages while five had significantly lower percentages.

At the high school level, where NECAP performance on the Reading and Mathematics tests are tied to graduation requirements for the Class of 2014, the percentage of students in this cohort scoring Partially Proficient or higher in Reading this year has increased from 86 percent as sixth graders back in 2007 to 92 percent as eleventh graders in 2012.15 In Mathematics, however, the percentage has decreased from 74 percent in 2007 to 60 percent in 2012. Starting next school year (2013‐2014), students must be Partially Proficient (Level 2) or above on both tests as the first indicator of readiness to receive a high school diploma. Comparing this year’s graduating class (Class of 2013) with next year’s (Class of 2014), the percentage of students meeting graduation requirements for both Reading and Mathematics has increased from 56% to 60%.16 At the district level, the percentage of students in the Class of 2014 cohort who achieved partial proficiency or higher in Reading since 2007 has increased significantly in all but four districts while the percentage has decreased significantly in all but eleven districts in Mathematics17 over the same time period.18 Only three districts significantly decreased the percentage of students scoring in the substantially below proficient range in Reading and Mathematics compared to last year.19

This necessarily excluded all state schools and charter schools. 19 See Tables 25, 26, and 27 on pages 44‐46.

26 An achievement gap is a difference in what distinct groups of students know and can do in important subjects such as reading or math. One way we find achievement gaps is by comparing test scores for groups of students. One way we describe gaps is by subtracting the average of a lower scoring group from the average of a higher scoring group. 27 NECAP Reading tests were not administered in grade 11 until 2007. 28 Eligibility for free or reduced price meal benefits through the National School Lunch Program is the most commonly used indicator of economic disadvantage. 29 NECAP Mathematics tests were not administered in grade 11 until 2007.

32 Due to rounding, data in “Difference” columns may not equal the difference between “%P+PwD” for each year. 33 “District Performance Reference” represents each district’s average of the percentage of “non‐LEP,” “non‐Low Income,” and “non‐IEP” students who achieved Proficiency or above on the NECAP Reading test. Due to small n’s of “non‐LEP,” “non‐Low Income,” and “non‐IEP” students at the RI School for the Deaf and DCYF, their respective District Performance References are derived from the Providence Public Schools, which is the district in both schools are located.

34 Due to rounding, data in “Difference” columns may not equal the difference between “%P+PwD” for each year. 35 “District Performance Reference” represents each district’s average of the percentage of “non‐LEP,” “non‐Low Income,” and “non‐IEP” students who achieved Proficiency or above on the NECAP Mathematics test. Due to small n’s of “non‐LEP,” “non‐Low Income,” and “non‐IEP” students at the RI School for the Deaf and DCYF, their respective District Performance References are derived from the Providence Public Schools, which is the district in both schools are located.

RIDE’s goal is to ensure that students graduate high school with the abilities they need to be successful in college, careers, and life. To do so requires multiple measures as part of Rhode Island’s Diploma System. Beginning with the class of 2014, student achievement of Partial Proficiency (Level 2) or greater on the NECAP Reading and Mathematics tests has been designated by the Board of Regents as just one of three major components tied to graduation requirements for high school students.38 It is important to note that students will have multiple opportunities to meet the state assessment performance requirement (see Appendix J on page 61 for a description of the state assessment process). Figure 1. Class of 2014 vs. Class of 2013: Percent of Students Substantially Below Proficient or Partially Proficient or Above on both the NECAP READING and MATHEMATICS Tests.

38 To earn a diploma from a Rhode Island high school, each student will have to meet the minimum requirements established in each of the three areas specified in the Regulations: 1) Performance on the state assessment or assessments; and 2) Successful completion of state and local course requirements; and 3) Successful completion of two performance‐based diploma assessments. See the “Secondary Regulations Guidance‐May 2011” document (available online at www.ride.ri.gov) for details.

Graduation Rate

o The Four‐Year Graduation Rate yields the percentage of students who enrolled in the 9th grade for the first time and graduated from high school four years later. To calculate the 4‐year graduation rate, RIDE tracks an Adjusted Cohort42 of students from 9th grade through high school and then divides the number of students who graduate within four years by the total number in the cohort. In other words, the rate provides the percentage of the cohort that graduates in four years or fewer.

o The Five‐Year Graduation Rate yields total percentage the Adjusted Cohort of students who graduate within 5 years of entering 9th grade for the first time. This rate includes students from the Adjusted Cohort who graduate within 4 years as well as those who graduate within 5 years.

o The Six‐Year Graduation Rate yields the total percentage of the Adjusted Cohort of students who graduate within 6 years of entering 9th grade for the first time. This rate includes students from the Adjusted Cohort who graduate within 4 years and those who graduate within 5 years as well as those who graduate within 6 years.

“Minimum Cell Size” Reporting Policy

RIDE Policy on minimum cell size for reporting data stipulates that if the number of students is less than 10 for any group(s) or for any school‐ and district‐level reporting or if a percentage is less than 1% or greater than 99%, then data must be suppressed in public reports to ensure confidentiality of individual student results and to discourage generalizations about school performance based on very small populations. Throughout this report, empty cells indicate that the number of students included in calculations was less than 10 or the percentage was less than 1% or greater than 99%.

NECAP Performance Level Descriptors: General

o Proficient with Distinction (Level 4): Students performing at this level demonstrate the prerequisite knowledge and skills needed to participate and excel in instructional activities aligned with the GLEs at the current grade level. Errors made by these students are few and minor and do not reflect gaps in prerequisite knowledge and skills.

o Proficient (Level 3): Students performing at this level demonstrate minor gaps in the prerequisite knowledge and skills needed to participate and perform successfully in instructional activities aligned with the GLE at the current grade level. It is likely that

42 The “Adjusted Cohort” of students includes those who enter ninth grade for the first time plus transfers in and transfers out as they progress through high school toward graduation.


any gaps in prerequisite knowledge and skills demonstrated by these students can be addressed during the course of typical classroom instruction.

o Partially Proficient (Level 2): Students performing at this level demonstrate gaps in prerequisite knowledge and skills needed to participate and perform successfully in instructional activities aligned with the GLE at the current grade level. Additional instructional support may be necessary for these students to meet grade level expectations.

o Substantially Below Proficient (Level 1): Students performing at this level demonstrate extensive and significant gaps in prerequisite knowledge and skills needed to participate and perform successfully in instructional activities aligned with the GLE at the current grade level. Additional instructional support is necessary for these students to meet grade level expectations.

NECAP Performance Level Descriptors: READING

o Proficient with Distinction (Level 4): Student’s performance demonstrates an ability to read and comprehend grade‐appropriate text. Student is able to analyze and interpret literary and informational text. Student offers insightful observations/assertions that are well supported by references to the text.

Calculating Standard Error (SE)

For the purposes of this report, Standard Error (SE) is defined as a measurement of the standard error of a percentage (e.g., % Proficient, used throughout this report). Mathematically, SE’s were calculated as follows:

(SE) = , where p is the percent of students who are proficient, q= (100‐p) and N is the

population or group size.

It is important to note that the derived SE is based on the size of the group being examined and its respective performance (read: % Proficient) on the NECAP tests. Standard errors can be used to create a confidence interval around the derived percentage so that you can see the range in which the “true” (e.g., measured without error) value is located. To do so, you can take the SE and multiply it by 1.96 (for a 95% confidence interval). The resultant product is then added and subtracted from the percent proficient, p, for example, to create a range of values in which you can be 95% confident that the “true” value is located. For example, viewing the percent proficient (p) as the center point, if one adds the value of SE(1.96) to p and also subtracts this value from p, then the full confidence interval is created with both an upper and lower boundary. So, if p equals 70% and the SE equals .5, then the product of SE and 1.96 equals .5(1.96) or .965 Adding and subtracting this number from 70% creates the confidence interval, which ranges from 69.04% to 70.97%. This is the range in which one can be 95% confident that the “true” value exists.

When comparing the performance of any two years or groups, we say that the difference in performance between the groups is statistically significant if the difference in performance between the two groups is larger than the sum of the SE’s of the two groups. In other words, if the sum of the two SE’s—each multiplied by 1.96 to get the 95% confidence interval—is larger than the value of the difference in performance between the two groups, then we say the difference is too small to be significant or meaningful because the difference doesn’t fall outside of the range of plausible “true” values. To illustrate this point, let’s say that 60% of 4th grade students at School X were proficient or above in reading in 2010 and the following year in 2011, 66% of 4th grade students were proficient or above, thus resulting in an increase of +6 percentage points. If the sum of the 2010 SE(1.96) and the 2011 SE(1.96) is 6.5, then the change from 2010 to 2011 in 4th grade reading performance of +6 percentage points at School X is not large enough to be considered statistically significant. On the other hand, if 67% of 4th graders in 2011 were proficient or above, then the +7 percentage point increase in performance would be larger than the standard error of 6.5 and this difference would be statistically significant.

* Split‐ Level Schools for Reporting Purposes

Throughout this report, Grades 3, 4, and 5 are generally classified as “elementary school” grades whereas Grades 6, 7, and 8 are classified as “middle school” and Grade 11 as “high school.” In cases where a school spans more than one level of schooling (e.g. elementary and middle)—such as with schools that are K‐12 or K‐8—RIDE divided the grades within the school using the above classification rules or by using classifications set by the local education agency (LEA) for accountability purposes. Consequently, school‐level data posted in tables in this report may not match data sent to schools from Measured Progress. This is not an indication that the posted data in this report are incorrect. Rather, it is a matter of RIDE classifying schools in accordance with grade levels reported by the LEA and to present data in a more consistent manner. Below is a list of the schools with grades that span more than one school level and how each was designated for the purposes of this report:

Block Island School, New Shoreham Elementary Grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 High Grades 8, 11 Highlander Charter School Elementary Grades 3, 4, 5 Middle Grades 6, 7, 8 Paul Cuffee Charter School Elementary Grades 3, 4, 5 Middle Grades 6, 7, 8 High Grade 11 Rhode Island School for the Deaf Elementary Grades 3, 4, 5 Middle Grades 6, 7, 8 High Grade 11 The Compass School

43 The Class of 2009 includes traditional four‐year student graduation rates (blue column), five‐year rates of the 2008 adjusted cohort (purple column) and six‐year rates of the 2007 adjusted cohort (gray column). To see how the 2009 adjusted cohort of students fared (students who entered as freshman in the 2005‐06 school year), you must look across the three years, (2009, 2010 and 2011) and by four‐year, five‐year and six‐year rates, respectively. All cohorts are color‐coded: the Cohort of 2008 is shaded in purple; the Cohort of 2009 is shaded in blue; the Cohort of 2010 is shaded in orange; and the Cohort of 2011 is shaded in green. Under the Class of 2012, one column is un‐shaded to represent the four‐year graduation rate for 2012 cohort. See Appendix A for descriptions of each graduation rate and of how cohorts are “adjusted.”

NECAP Writing Assessment Design The NECAP Writing Assessment is designed to measure students’ ability to produce extended writing samples. This approach maintains our commitment to measuring actual writing rather than merely indicators of writing ability gathered by answering multiple-choice questions. By designing a test that asks fewer, but more involved questions that require more time to answer, the NECAP writing test yields fewer total points than a test that could be given in the same amount of time with all multiple-choice items. This poses some technical challenges that also need to be considered when interpreting results, but we believe that this is appropriate in order to obtain results of students’ actual writing. The smaller number of possible points on the writing tests complicates the ability of the test to produce stable achievement level results from year to year. For this reason results are reported to examine within year achievement at the school, district, and state level as opposed to across year comparisons.
