1. All subjects will be weighted equally.

2. The EOC performance level will be used in the calculation of the EOC assessment index as described in the chart below.

3. Proficient test scores of "good" or "excellent" earned by students at a middle school will be included in the SPS calculations of the high school to which the student transfers as well. The scores for the high school will be included in the accountability cycle that corresponds with the students first year of high school. EOC test scores considered "not proficient" ("needs improvement", "fair") will not be transferred, or banked, to the high school. Students will retake the test at the high school, and the first administration of the test at the high school will be used in the calculation of the assessment index the same year in which it was earned.

4. Beginning with the 2012-13 school year, students who are completing their third year in high school must have taken the algebra I and English II tests, or LAA 1. If they do not, the students will be assigned a score of zero and be counted as non-participants in high school testing. All students must be included in the assessment cohort regardless of course enrollment, grade assignment or program assignment.

1. The ACT composite score will be used in the calculation of the ACT assessment index as described in the chart below. To the extent practicable, a students highest earned score for any ACT administration shall be used in the calculation.
