STRIVE HI PERFORMANCE SYSTEM
Overview
Dave Moyer, Data Governance and Analysis Branch
Slide2School accountability & improvement systems help us…
Shine a light
on school performance and progress
Provide summative
data (a picture of overall school health) to inform school improvement efforts and transparent info to parents and communitiesInform the deployment of resources, technical assistance, and support to schools that need improvementIdentify schools to look to for best practices and success stories
2
KEEP IN MIND:
The focus is
not
ranking schools against each other.
No accountability system is perfect

(if applicable)
Based on their performance on multiple indicators, schools earn points on the Strive HI Index.
A school’s total points and other triggers
determine
the school’s classification on one of the 5 Strive HI
Steps – which determines its level of support.

Strive HI operates on a 2-year cycle. While schools receive their data & point total annually, most are reclassified
every
other
year. SY13-14 is an interim year, meaning most schools retain their classification, except for newly recognized Recognition schools.

Key Findings
During
a year of tremendous change
students & staff continue
to make every effort to Strive
High.
Data shows includes bright
spots and areas of needed improvement.
Significant student improvements in chronic absenteeism & science proficiency.
Slightly lower reading & math proficiency as schools continue to adjust to Hawaii Common Core standards and assessments.
Results for college-readiness, graduation rates, and college-going rates remained steady amidst other positive indicators.
New classifications: new Recognition Schools; 1 Priority school exited

Slide11Strive HI Performance Index Weights
Indicators are weighted differently for elementary, middle, and high schools

Slide12Achievement
These metrics measure the proportion of students
who scored
proficient or higher on the Hawaii
State Bridge Assessment this year.Transitioning to new testsSY13-14: The “bridge” assessment: a subset of the HSA questions that are Common Core-alignedSY14-15: Common Core-aligned Smarter Balanced AssessmentThe transition to new standards and assessments means we should expect a new baseline.Only students enrolled for the entire school year count in the total.
12
Slide13Student Growth
Similar to a pediatrician's
growth chart,
Student Growth Percentile (SGP) helps
us understand a student's growth on state tests relative to other students who scored similarly in the pastSchools receive a median (or middle) student’s growth score. Half of the students in the school had higher growth than the median, and half had lower growth.A growth percentile of 50 is sometimes understood as a year’s worth of progressGrowth can be measured this way even when different tests are used from one year to the next. 13
Slide14Readiness: Elementary
Chronic AbsenteeismMeasures the proportion of students in the school who missed 15 or more days last year
All absences (excused and unexcused) count
National & local research = students who miss large portions of school are more likely to fall behind academically
Only students enrolled the entire year countKindergarten didn’t count this year because it wasn’t yet mandatory14

Grade EXPLORE
This test predicts success on the ACT, which helps benchmark college-readiness.
The metric measures the proportion of the school’s students who earned a composite score of 15 or more.Principal notes:Last year the data were reported differently (as the median score in the school)8th grade EXPLORE being discontinued: will revisit options for Hawaii16
Slide17ACT

8th Grade ACT EXPLORE:
Scored on a scale of 1 to 25.
Index uses a school’s percentage of students achieving a composite score of 15 or higher. Points assigned: multiple percentage by 60.

Slide20Achievement Gap
Achievement gaps are calculated in the current year and over
time between
High-Needs Students
(students who are learning English, economically disadvantaged or have disabilities) and non High-Needs Students.Current Gap Rate = most recent gap
(A smaller gap rate is better)Two-Year Gap Reduction Rate
= how
much
gap
has closed over the past
2 years.
(A higher gap closing rate is better).

Frequent questions:Why do I have no Achievement Gap indicators on my report?
Why do I have a negative gap rate or gap reduction rate?

Why do I have no {fill in the indicator} on my report?
What are the “triggers” on my report?
What about n-size?
Public Reporting: For student privacy purposes, data is suppressed on public reports if there are less than 20 students involved in the indicator.Index calculations: For index calculations, a minimum count of 30 students is required. If the current year's data does not meet the minimum count, then data from the previous year are included in the calculation. If the minimum student count is still not met, then the 2nd previous year's data are included. If the minimum student count is still not met after including three (3) years of data, then the calculation is done based upon the pooled three (3) years of data.Student Group report: For the Student Group Report, the minimum is 40 students. 25
