Possible Configurations:
- Admin User: None
- Schoolzilla support: Dataset filters (e.g., limiting to specific grade levels)
District and School Metric Calculation:
| State assessment proficiency rate = |
Number of students who are at/above state proficiency level |
| Number of students with valid scores1, 2, 3, 4 |
Notes
- Students who completed the state assessment and had a valid score, including students who have exited the district.
- A school’s state assessment metrics only include students’ state assessment data from when they attended that school.
- If a student is dual/concurrently enrolled, his/her scores would contribute to the school where the scores were earned.
- The student records that are used to calculate the district metric include all assessments completed while the student was enrolled in the district. See the logic below.
- The metric on District Profile/Our Schools uses a student's assessment records from any school in the district.
- The metric on School Profile uses a student's assessments completed in that school (including students who are no longer enrolled, but were enrolled when they completed the assessment)
- The metric on Our Students/Student Profile shows the most recent assessments completed while the student was enrolled in the district, even if the student was enrolled in another school at the time.
