Accountability Model
Indicators for All Schools
• Proficiency based on EOG/EOC assessments:
• Grades 3-8 ELA/Reading
• Grades 3-8 Math
• Grades 5 & 8 Science
• Math I
• Biology
• English II
16*EOC = End-of-Course Assessment*EOG = End-of-Grade Assessment
EOG/EOC Achievement Levels
• Level 1: Limited Command
• Level 2: Partial Command
• Level 3: Sufficient Command (Grade-
Level Proficiency
• Level 4: Solid Command (College &
Career Readiness)
• Level 5: Superior Command (College &
Career Readiness)

Performance Composites
• Grade-Level Proficiency Performance
Composite:
• % of all assessments scored at levels 3, 4, or 5
• College & Career Ready Performance
Composite:
• % of all assessments scored at levels 4 or 5
18
Indicators for All Schools
• School Performance Grades:
• 80% of grade based on grade-level proficiency
• 20% of grade based on EVAAS School Accountability
Growth
• 15-point grading scale used
19
Additional Indicators for High Schools
• 4-Year Cohort Graduation Rate
• ACT Proficiency• % of Grade 11 students with composite score of 17 or
higher
• ACT WorkKeys• % of CTE concentrator graduates at silver level of higher
• Math Course Rigor• % of graduates taking & passing high-level math courses
20
NC Proficiency Standards in Context
21
• 2015 Mapping Study: State Standards to NAEP
• New NC standards were rated a “B” for
rigor
• Ratings prior to the new standards ranged
from C- to F
• NC is currently ranked #41 among the 51
states & DC
22
English Language Arts/Reading: Grade 6 EOG Sample Question
What is the effect of the simile in paragraph 25?
A to show how surprised Liam was to see the fairy queen
B to describe the speed of the old woman’s movements
C to explain how much the fairy queen liked Liam’s choices
D to illustrate that Liam was confused by the old woman
This item requires the student to identify the simile and then identify its impact/its purpose in the story. This goes beyond reading a story and re-telling the main events.
23
Mathematics: Grade 8 EOG Sample Question
Limousine Company P and Company R both charge a rental fee plus an additional charge per hour.
The equation y = 50 + 30x models the total cost (in dollars), y, of renting a limousine from Company P for x
hours.
The table below shows the cost to rent a limousine from Company R for different lengths of time.
Which statement accurately compares the per hour charges of the two companies?
A Company P charges $5 less per hour than Company R.
B Company P charges $5 more per hour than Company R.
C Company P charges $25 less per hour than Company R.
D Company P charges $25 more per hour than Company R.
This item requires the student to compare properties of two functions, each represented in a different way (equation and table). This goes beyond simply determining the rate of change of a function.

Proficiency By White Enrollment
• Proficiency for all groups is lower when schools are less integrated
• Research has shown that minority students [students of color] perform better on standardized assessments and have improved graduation rates in schools that are integrated. The effect is greater the earlier students enter integrated schooling.– Harris, D. N. (2006); Guryan, J. (2004)

Summary of Results
Opportunities for Improvement
• Some EOC/EOG proficiencies flat
• Gaps persist:• Racial/Ethnic Groups
• Economically Disadvantaged Students (EDS) /
Free-Reduced Lunch (FRL)
• Limited English Proficiency (LEP)
• Students with Disabilities (SWD) /
Exceptional Children (EC)
*EOC = End-of-Course Assessment
*EOG = End-of-Grade Assessment
93
Areas to Build Upon
• Highest Graduation Rate Ever
• Grades 3-8 Reading and Math Proficiency Increases
• Science 8 Proficiency Above 70%
• Math 1 and English 2 increased proficiency
• Large Proficiency Increase in Math 1
• Better EVAAS Growth
• Rate of improvement exceeds NC large school districts
