Attention Roadrunner Families,
Arizona Department of Education ADE has published the disaggregated data for A-F letter grades in ADE Connect and it is now available to the public. We are excited to share Desert Oasis' student growth and proficiency scores from the spring 2021 AZM2 assessment. Due to the lack of 2020 scores (state testing was suspended), this year the student growth scores were calculated by ADE using a skip-year growth model, similar to the model utilized for state assessments that are given in select grades (i.e. 4th, 8th, 11th grades), which is proven to be an effective model. This model is reliable yet different from the 2019 calculation (See attachment 1- school rules). The A-F Letter Grade accountability system includes the following: 1. Percentage of proficient students on the AzM2 grade-level assessment 2. Longitudinal indicators of relative student gain and growth towards proficiency/ maintenance of proficiency 3. EL language proficiency and growth 4. Indicators to measure students’ ability to accelerate beyond elementary school. The K-8 model is calculated on a point scale of 0-100 points. Using the ADE-approved calculation formula, we have projected that the school would have attained an A letter grade if using the 2019 cut scores.
