New school classification index measures students progress

Hawaiis public schools are now rated on a new accountability system that officials say will help schools better prepare students for success in college and careers. The so-called Strive HI system largely replaces academic mandates of the federal No Child Left Behind law that required schools meet rising reading and math proficiency targets or face sanctions. Hawaii in May was granted a waiver from key NCLB requirements by the U.S. Department of Education in exchange for adopting high standards and an alternative accountability system. STRIVE HI PERFORMANCE INDEX Schools can earn up to 400 points in the areas of achievement, growth, readiness and narrowing the achievement gap.

TOTAL POINTS
Achievement: Test scores in reading, math and science. Students in grades 3 through 8 and grade 10 take the state exam. >> Reading (0-40 pts) >> Math (0-40 pts) >> Science (0-20 pts)

100

Growth: Each students annual progress is compared with the progress of other students in the state with a similar score history on reading and math tests. >> Reading (0-50 pts) >> Math (0-50 pts)

100

Readiness: In elementary school, chronic absenteeism, or the number of students absent 15 or more days. In intermediate school, ACT Explore test scores. In high school, ACT scores, on-time graduation rate and college-going rate. >> Chronic absentee rate (0-100 pts) ELEM >> 8th-grade ACT (0-100 pts) MIDDLE HIGH >> On-time graduation rate (0-50 pts) >> College-going rate (0-5 pts) >> 11th-grade ACT (0-45 pts) Achievement gap: Closing the test score gap between a schools high-needs students English language learners, those economically disadvantaged or with disabilities and their non-high-needs peers. >> Current-year gap rate (gap rate between high-needs >> Two-year gap reduction rate (gap rate between highand non-high-needs students) (0-50 pts) needs and non-high-needs students) (0-50 pts)

STRIVE HI STEPS The points a school earns generally determine where they place on one of five category steps. In some cases, certain triggers automatically assign schools to focus and priority status, including a low graduation rate or large achievement gap.
