4 AAC 06.821 - Academic achievement indicator

(a) The points earned for a school's academic achievement indicator are based on the percentage of all students tested on the English language assessment and on the percentage of all students tested on the mathematics assessment described in 4 AAC 06.737 or 4 AAC 06.775(b) who score at the proficient or advanced achievement level, calculated separately. If the school meets or exceeds a 95 percent assessment participation rate under 4 AAC 06.820(a), the denominator will be all full-academic-year students with a valid score; if a school does not meet a 95 percent assessment participation rate, the denominator will be 95 percent of all full-academic- year students in tested grades three through eight and at least once in grades nine through twelve-as described in 4 AAC 06.737.

(b) The points earned for a school's academic achievement indicator are calculated as follows:

(c) For schools with students in kindergarten through grade six the academic achievement indicator consists of the points earned as calculated in subsection (b). For schools with students in grades 7-12, the academic achievement indicator will include both the 10 percent weight for the achievement on the assessment and the 20 percent weight for growth on the assessment, for a combined weight of 30 percent in English language arts and 30 percent in mathematics. The academic achievement indicator consists of the points earned in subsection (b) and the points earned for student growth as calculated under 4 AAC 06.822(b)(2). The total points for the academic achievement indicator will be determined by adding one-third of the points earned under subsection (b) and two-thirds of the points earned under 4 AAC 06.822(b)(2).
