A-F Report Card last year…Last year, the A-F Report Card was

comprised of three main sections, each worth 1/3 of the overall grade:– Student Achievement - counts 1/3 or 33%– Student Growth – counts 1/3 or 34%

• Overall Student Growth – 17%• Bottom 25% Growth – 17%

– Whole School Performance – counts 1/3 or 33%

• Graduation Rate – 79%• Advanced Coursework Participation – 3%– Participation = enrolled in career major that

leads to a Type 1 or 2 exam and earn a “D” or higher

• AP and IB Performance – 3%• Advanced Coursework Performance – 3%– Performance = earn a “C” or higher in a career

major that leads to a Type 1 or 2 exam

Last Year Whole School Performance – (continued)

• Recently tech centers turned in to IMD the grades for students in career majors meeting A-F requirements and for those students in Cooperative Alliance courses.

• We have now turned that list into the SDE to be counted on the report cards for this year.

• CTE high school advanced coursework was not counted this year as no clearly defined process was in place. We hope to have that process in place for next year.
