Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools 2016-2017 Preliminary End-of-Year Results Media Briefing September 7, 2017
CMS is Continuing to Make Strides Forward For the 4 th year in a row, College and Career Ready (CCR) rates improved in Mathematics and Math I. Compared to 2015-16, College and Career Ready (CCR) rates improved in English II, but declined in Reading, Science, and Biology. Similarly, Grade Level Proficiency (GLP) rates improved in Mathematics, English II, and Math I, but declined in Reading, Science, and Biology compared to 2015-16. CMS outperformed the state average and most large districts in the state in College and Career Ready (CCR) rates. Seventy-three percent (73%) of schools in CMS met or exceeded growth expectations. 2
CMS is Continuing to Make Strides Forward Student performance on the ACT WorkKeys exam, a national measure of workplace readiness, improved and outpaced the state for the 5 th year in a row. CMS graduated 89.4% of the 2017 cohort of seniors in four years. CMS has a higher four-year cohort graduation rate than the state and most other large school districts in North Carolina. The number of schools in CMS receiving a school performance grade of A or A+ held steady at 25 schools. The number of schools in CMS receiving a school performance grade of F held steady at 5 schools. Nearly 74% of schools in CMS earned a school performance grade of A, B or C. 3

Schools Meeting or Exceeding Expected Growth: 2012-13 to 2016-17 26
School Growth School Growth is an indication of the average rate at which students in a school learned over the past year. The standard is roughly equivalent to a year s worth of expected growth for a year of instruction. The growth measure is defined in one of three ways: did not meet expected growth; met expected growth; or exceeded expected growth. 27

School Performance Grades: 2013-14 to 2016-17 29
School Performance Grades Effective in the 2013-14 school year, North Carolina assigned School Performance Grades to all public schools. The School Performance Grades are based on student achievement (80%) and growth (20%). The indicators and the proficiency standard or benchmark used for achievement include: 1. Annual End-of-Grade (EOG) mathematics and reading assessments in grades 3 8 and science assessments in grades 5 and 8 (Level 3 and above) 2. Annual End-of-Course (EOC) assessments in Math I, Biology, and English II (Level 3 and above) 3. The percentage of graduates who complete Math III, Algebra II, or Integrated Math III with a passing grade 4. The percentage of grade 11 students who achieve the minimum score required for admission into a constituent institution of The University of North Carolina on the ACT (composite score of 17) 5. The percentage of graduates identified as Career and Technical Education concentrators who meet the Silver Certificate or higher on the ACT WorkKeys assessment 6. The percentage of students who graduate within four years of entering high school (Standard [4-Year] Cohort Graduation Rate) The EVAAS model, which provides the growth measure, uses current and previous student test data to determine whether schools are maintaining or increasing student achievement from one year to the next. In the event that a school does not have a Growth Score, only the School Achievement Score is used to calculate the Performance Score. It is important to note that schools that have met or exceeded growth may still receive a low School Performance Grade since achievement accounts for 80% of the grade. For 2013 14 through 2016-17, the grade designations are set on a 15-point scale: 30
Number of Schools with an A/A+ at 25 (15%) for the 2 nd Year 25 schools received a SPG of an A or A+ in 2015-16 and 2016-17 compared to 19 schools in 2014-15 The number of schools receiving an F grade decreased from 10 in 2014-15 to 5 in 2015-16 and remained the same in 2016-17 Year A+ N/(%) A N/(%) B N/(%) C N/(%) D N/(%) F N/(%) Total 2013-14 -- 2014-15 8 (5%) 17 (11%) 11 (7%) 47 (30%) 46 (29%) Schools Performance Grades 50 (31%) 44 (28%) 36 (23%) 37 (23%) 11 (7%) 10 (6%) 157 160 2015-16 14 (8%) 11 (7%) 42 (25%) 61 (37%) 32 (19%) 5 (3%) 165 2016-17 15* (9%) 10 (6%) 40 (24%) 58 (35%) 39 (23%) 5 (3%) 167 *In 2014-15, the state introduced A+ grades. Schools that earn an A designation and do not have significant achievement and/or graduation gaps will be designated as an A+ school. Significant achievement and graduation gaps are defined as in-school gaps that are above the three-year state average when averaging gaps in the previous year and at least one of the two prior years between the highest-achieving subgroup and lowest-achieving subgroup. In 2016-17, 15 schools were designated as A+ schools. These schools are Bain ES, Beverly Woods ES, Dilworth ES, Elon Park ES, Polo Ridge ES, Hawk Ridge ES, Huntersville ES, Ballantyne ES, McKee Road ES, Olde Providence ES, Piedmont IB MS, Providence Spring ES, Providence HS, South Charlotte MS, and Grand Oak ES. 31
