• Highly correlated with demographic factors
Student Growth: How far have we come?
• Highly dependent on what happens as a result of schooling rather than on demographic factors
Achievement and Poverty
How is this fair?
Academic Growth and Poverty
No one is doomed to failure.
The School Value Added Report compares each school to the average school in the state.
Comparisons are made for each subject tested in the given year and indicate how a school influences student progress in those subjects.
Value-Added Reporting
• If the Mean NCE Gain is greater than or equal to zero, the average student in this school has achieved a year’s worth of academic growth in a year
• If the Mean NCE Gain is less than zero, the average student in this school has achieved less growth than expected
Mean NCE Gain
Value-Added Reporting
The NCE Base is by definition set at 50.0, and it represents the average attainment level of
students in the grade and subject, statewide.
If the school mean is greater, the average student in the school is performing at a higher achievement level than the average student in the state.
