District Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) Status

Met AYP:

No

AYP Level*:

3

 

*  District AYP Level 1 = Alert; Levels 2 and 3 = Improvement Status, Level 4 = Corrective Action

AYP level designation is based on assessment results from Spring of 2008-2009 school year, and is applied to 2009-2010 school year.

Districts at Level 2 or above must development an improvement plan. Parents are invited to participate in the planning process and are encouraged to contact the superintendentÕs office or the school principal to find out how to participate in upgrading the quality of the districtÕs educational program.

Key for School Improvement Levels

Title I schools on the above list must develop and implement a school improvement plan each year. Schools at Levels 4 and 5 must also develop corrective action and restructuring plans.

Parents are encouraged to contact the principal or district office for information on how to participate in these planning processes.

National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP)

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the only national test of what students know and can do. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 mandated state participation in NAEP reading and mathematics assessments in grades 4 and 8 every other year so that NAEP could serve as the common measure of student achievement.

NAEP does not test each fourth or eighth grader in the state. A representative sample of schools is chosen to participate in the NAEP. No NAEP individual results are given for students or schools; only statewide results are reported. NAEP scores can be used to compare Alaska to the nation and to other states.

NAEP assessments are designed to assess NAEP standards, also known as NAEP frameworks. NAEP does not assess students on the Alaska standards (grade level expectations). Alaska Standards Based Assessments (SBAs) are designed to assess Alaska Grade Level Expectations, and SBAs are administered to all students. More information about the NAEP in Alaska can be found in http://www.eed.state.ak.us/tls/assessment/naep.html.

There are three achievement levels for each grade assessed by NAEP: Basic, Proficient, and Advanced. Proficient on the NAEP indicates students Òhave demonstrated competency over challenging subject matter.Ó The following definitions apply to all subjects and all grades assessed by NAEP:

Achievement-Level Policy Definitions

Basic

Partial mastery of prerequisite knowledge and skills that are fundamental for proficient work at each grade.

Proficient

Solid academic performance for each grade assessed. Students reaching this level have demonstrated competency over challenging subject matter, including subject-matter knowledge, application of such knowledge to real-world situations, and analytical skills appropriate to the subject matter.

Advanced

Superior performance.

 

 

The most recent data available for NAEP reading and mathematics is from the 2007 administration. Results from the 2009 test administration will be reported for the 2009-2010 report card.

The charts on the following pages show how Alaska studentsÕ scores on the 2007 NAEP assessments compared to the public school studentsÕ scores nationally.
