Annual increases in the percent of students earning credentials are worth a bonus point in the VIP calculation

Will help increase the Graduation and Completion Index (HB642/SB514)

Will be required to earn a standard diploma, GAD, or ISAEP (HB 1061/SB 489)

Will be added to the school report cardsPart of the proposed ESEA Waiver (more

Performance and Participation Performance and Participation ExpectationsExpectationsMeet SOA minimums in English,

math, science, and history for all students, including the Graduation and Completion Index (in other words, Accreditation as we know it today)

Test participation rate >= 95% for reading and math

Public reporting of proficiency gaps for proficiency gap groups


Gap GroupsGap GroupsGap Group 1:

Students with disabilities, English Language Learners, and economically disadvantaged students (unduplicated).

Gap Group 2:

Black students, not of Hispanic origin, not already in Gap Group 1

Gap Group 3:

Hispanic students, of one or more races, not already included in Gap Group 1

DOE will continue to disaggregate by the traditional subgroups

for public reporting.

The same participation and performance expectations as schools

Meet Title III Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAOs) for limited English proficient student performance


Priority SchoolsPriority SchoolsAt least 5 percent of Virginia’s Title I

schools (about 36 schools)A Tier I or II SIG SchoolA Title I School that is:

◦ A high school with an FGI of 60% or lower for the past two years

◦ Accreditation denied, or Conditionally-Reconstituted due to English or math performance

◦ Accredited with warning for English or math performance


Schools will be rank ordered based on the sum of the differences between reading and math performance and the SOA targets. Schools with the largest gaps will be included, up to 36 schools.

Before we talk about Focus Before we talk about Focus SchoolsSchools

We need to learn about “Proficiency Gap Points”Calculate the difference between each Gap

Group’s performance in Reading and/or Math and the SOA target for the subject

Exclude groups that meet or exceed the targetSum the differences and divide by the number

of gap groupsYou now have the school’s Average Proficiency

Gap Points!
