Chapter 47 - WYOMING ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM
Section 47-14 - Long-Term Goals and Interim Targets
Universal Citation: WY Code of Rules 47-14
Current through September 21, 2024
(a) The long-term goals and interim targets do not impact a school's accountability score.
(b) Long-term Goals.
(i) The long-term goals are meant to be
achieved within fifteen years of the baseline year.
(ii) The long-term goals for the All Students
subgroup:
(A) Four-year graduation rate:
88
(B) Grade three through eight
math: 57
(C) Grade three through
eight English language arts: 59
(D)
High school math: 47
(E) High
school English language arts: 53
(F) Active English learners: 53
(iii) A school's interim target is
the expected annual progress toward meeting the long-term goals.
(iv) A school has met its interim target when
the school's goal score is at or above the long-term goal.
(v) The Department shall evaluate progress
toward the long-term goal every three years.
(c) Interim Targets.
(i) Interim Targets are calculated using the
baseline year. For all schools, the baseline year is Year 1. For the four-year,
on-time graduation indicator, the baseline year is the accountability year
2016-17. Since this is a lagged indicator, the four-year, on-time cohort is the
2015-16 graduating class for the 2016-17 accountability year. For math
achievement, ELA achievement, and ELP, the baseline year is 2017-18.
(ii) The end of the long-term goal for the
math, ELA, and ELP indicators.
(iii) Interim Target Computation for Schools
below the long-term Goal during the Baseline Year.
(A) The baseline score and long-term goal are
whole numbers. The expected annual progress is computed by subtracting the
school baseline score from the longterm goal and dividing by 14. The expected
annual progress is not rounded.
(B)
Interim targets increase in years 5, 8, 11, 14, 15, and 16. Each increase is
the baseline score plus expected annual improvement through the year of the
increase rounded to a whole number.
(iv) Interim Target Computation for Schools
above the long-term goal during the baseline year.
(A) In order to meet the interim target, the
school score must be at or above the long-term goal.
(B) A school meets the interim target if
their score drops by up to 5% so long as the score remains at or above the
long-term goal.
