The Report Card on Alberta’s Elementary Schools 2015 (hereafter, Report Card) reports a variety of relevant, objective indicators of school performance. These indicators are used to calculate an overall rating for each school. On the basis of this rating, the schools are ranked. The Report Card brings all of this infor-mation together in one easily accessible public docu-ment so that anyone can analyze and compare the performance of individual schools. By doing so, the Report Card assists parents when they choose a school for their children and encourages and assists all those seeking to improve their school.

The Report Card can help parents choose

In Alberta, many parents enjoy considerable choice regarding the school in which they will enroll their children. Where choice is available, the Report Card provides a valuable decision-making tool. Because it makes comparisons easy, the Report Card alerts parents to nearby schools that appear to have more effective academic programs. Further, parents can determine whether schools of interest are improving over time. By first studying the Report Card, parents will be better prepared to ask relevant questions when they interview the principal and teachers at the schools they are considering.

Of course, the choice of a school should not be made solely on the basis of a single source of infor-mation. Families choosing a school for their students should seek to confirm the Report Card ’s findings by visiting the school and interviewing teachers and school administrators. Websites maintained by the provincial ministry of education and local school

boards may also provide useful information.1 Parents who already have a child enrolled at the school pro-vide another point of view.

The Report Card provides a detailed picture of each school’s academic outcomes that is not easily available elsewhere. Naturally, a sound academic pro-gram should be complemented by effective programs in areas of school activity not measured by the Report Card.

The Report Card facilitates school improvement

Certainly, the act of publicly rating and ranking schools attracts attention. Schools that perform well or show consistent improvement are applauded. The results of poorly performing schools generate concern, as do those of schools whose performance is deterio-rating. This inevitable attention provides an incentive for all those connected with a school to focus on student results.

However, the Report Card offers more than incen-tive: it includes a variety of indicators, each of which reports results for an aspect of school perfor mance that might be improved. School administra tors who are dedicated to improvement accept the Report Card as another source of opportunities for positive change.

Some schools do better than othersKnowing that a school’s results require improvement is the first step. However, to improve a school, one must believe that improvement is achievable. This Report Card provides evidence about what can be accomplished. It demonstrates clearly that, even when we take into account factors such as the students’

family income, some schools do better than others. This finding confirms the results of research carried out in other countries.2 It will come as no great sur-prise to experienced parents and educators that the data consistently suggest that what goes on in the schools makes a difference to academic results and that some schools make more of a difference than others.

Comparisons are at the heart of the improvement processMany elementary-school authorities in Alberta pro-vide students and their parents with report cards that include both the student’s mark and the median mark for each subject in which the student is enrolled. The report cards also show any marks awarded to the student earlier in the year. Comparative and histori-cal data like these enable students and parents to see a clearer picture of an individual student’s progress. By comparing a school’s results with those of neigh-bouring schools or of schools with similar school and student characteristics, we can identify more suc-

cessful schools and learn from them. By comparing a school’s latest results with those of earlier years, we can see if the school is improving. Reference to overall provincial results places an individual school’s level of achievement in a broader context.

There is great benefit in identifying schools that are particularly effective. By studying the techniques used in schools where students are successful, less effective schools may find ways to improve.

Comparisons are at the heart of improvement: making comparisons among schools is made simpler and more meaningful by the Report Card ’s indicators, ratings, and rankings.

Key academic indicators of school performance

The foundation of the Report Card is an overall rat-ing of each school’s academic performance. Building on data about student results provided by Alberta Education (the provincial ministry of education), we rate each school on a scale from zero to 10. Because Alberta’s ministry of education has not released any grade 3 province-wide test results for 2013/2014, we base our overall rating of each school’s academic per-formance on seven indicators:

(1) average achievement-test marks (percent) in grade-6 language arts;

(2) average achievement-test marks (percent) in grade-6 mathematics;

(3) average achievement-test marks (percent) in grade-6 science;

(4) average achievement-test marks (percent) in grade-6 social studies;

(5) the percentage of achievement tests in (1) to (4) where the results were below the acceptable standard;

(6) the difference between male and female students in their average achievement-test mark in grade-6 language arts;

(7) the difference between male and female students in their average achievement-test mark in grade-6 mathematics.

We have selected this set of indicators as they provide systematic insight into a school’s performance: because they are based on annually generated data, we can assess not only each school’s performance in a year but also its improvement or deterioration over time.

Indicators of effective teaching

Average achievement-test marksThese indicators (in the tables Avg test mark) report the average percentage achieved by a school’s students on the uniform achievement tests in four core subject areas. For each school, each indicator is the average score (expressed as a percentage) achieved by all of the school’s students who completed the tests in language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies at the grade-6 level.

Fundamental to the mission of elementary schools is teaching its students sound basic skills in reading, writing, and mathematics. Basic literacy and numeracy are essential building blocks for life-long learning. The tests upon which the Report Card is based assess students on these dimensions. Examinations are designed to achieve a distribu-tion of results reflecting the differences in students’ mastery of this course work. Differences among students in abilities, motivation, and work-habits will inevitably have some impact upon the final results. There are, however, recognizable differences from school to school within a district in the aver-age results on the achievement tests. There is also variation within schools in the results obtained in different subject areas. Such differences in outcomes cannot be wholly explained by the individual and family characteristics of the school’s students. It seems reasonable, therefore, to include the average test marks in these critical subject areas as indicators of effective teaching.

Percentage of achievement tests failedFor each school, this indicator (in the tables Percentage of tests failed) provides the rate of failure (as a percent-

age) on the achievement tests. It was derived by divid-ing the sum of all the above achievement tests written by the school’s students where the score was below the acceptable standard by the total number of such tests written by those students.

Since language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies are critical to students’ further intel-lectual and personal development, students should, at the minimum, be able to demonstrate that they meet the acceptable standard of performance for their grade in these subject areas. Schools have the respon-sibility of ensuring that their students are adequately prepared to do so.

How well do the teachers take differences among students into account?

The Gender gap indicatorsUndoubtedly, the personal characteristics of students can influence the way that they learn. Successful teachers will take into account these characteristics as they develop and implement their lesson plans and teaching strategies. The extent to which a school’s teachers succeed in this task can be measured by comparing the results of two different groups of stu-dents known to exhibit differences in their learning patterns and academic results.3

The relative academic success of boys and girls is a subject of considerable interest in the education establishment as evidenced by the near universal col-lection of student results data for these two groups of students by ministries of education. The Report Card uses these data to construct the Gender gap indicators.

The Gender gap indicators measure the difference, if any, between boys and girls in their average marks on achievement tests in grade-6 language arts and mathematics. The indicators report the size of the difference and the more successful sex.

In general, how is the school doing, academically? The Overall rating out of 10

While each of the indicators is important, it is almost always the case that any school does better on some indicators than on others. So, just as a teacher must make a decision about a student’s overall performance, we need an overall indicator of school performance (in the tables Overall rating out of 10). Just as teachers combine test scores, homework, and class participa-tion to rate a student, we have combined all the indi-cators to produce an overall school rating. The overall rating of school performance answers the question, “In general, how is the school doing academically compared to other schools in the Report Card?”

To derive this rating, the results for each of the indicators, for each school year, were first standardized. Standardization is a statistical procedure whereby sets of raw data with different characteristics are converted into sets of values with “standard” statistical properties. Standardized values can readily be combined and compared.

The standardized data were then combined where required to produce standardized scores—one for each indicator—for each school, for each year. The standardized scores were weighted and combined to produce an overall standardized score. Finally, this score was converted into an overall rating out of 10. It is from this Overall rating out of 10 that the school’s provincial rank is determined. For schools where only boys or girls were enrolled, there are, of course, no results for the Gender gap indicators. In these cases the Overall rating is derived using the remaining indicators. (See Appendix 1 for an explanation of the calculation of the Overall rating out of 10.)

Note that the Overall rating out of 10, based as it is on standardized scores, is a relative rating. That is, in order for a school to show improvement in its Overall rating, it must improve more than the average. If it improves, but at a rate less than the average, it will show a decline in its rating.

Other indicators of school performance

The Report Card includes other indicators that, while they are not used to derive the Overall rating out of 10, add more information on the school’s effectiveness.

The Tests not written indicator

The uniform achievement tests provide objective mea-sures of how each student is progressing in important basic subject areas. Such feedback is important to par-ents. It is also important to teachers, school adminis-trators, and taxpayers, for whom the test results are an indication of the extent to which the schools have successfully discharged their responsibilities.

Alberta Education requires that all students who are able to write these tests do so. The Tests not writ-ten indicator calculates the percentage of the tests that could have been completed by the school’s students but which were not assigned a score. Such non-participa-tion results when students are excused from the tests, are absent for some part of the tests, or do not complete the test to the extent necessary to score it. Thus, this indicator assesses the extent to which each school takes full advantage of the uniform achievement tests as use-ful measurements of student achievement.

The Trend indicator

Is the school improving academically? The Report Card provides five years of data for most schools. Unlike a simple snapshot of one year’s results, this historical record provides evidence of change (or lack thereof) over time. To detect trends in the perfor-mance indicators, we developed the Trend indicator. This indicator uses statistical analysis to identify those

dimensions of school performance in which there has likely been real change rather than a fluctuation in results caused by random occurrences. To calculate the trends, the standardized scores rather than raw data are used. Standardizing makes historical data more comparable and the trend measurement more reliable. Because calculation of trends is uncertain when only a small number of data points is available, a trend is indicated only in those circumstances where five years of data are available and where the trend is statistically significant. For this indicator, we have defined the term “statistically significant” to mean that, nine times out of 10, the trend that is noted is real; that is, it did not happen just by chance.

Indicators of student characteristics and programs

This edition of the Report Card includes three indica-tors that provide more information about the students that the school serves. The alternative French program indicator (in the tables Alt. French (%)) reports the proportion of the school’s students who are registered in French immersion or other French languages pro-grams. This indicator does not include core French or Francophone programs. The English as a second language indicator (in the tables ESL (%)) reports the proportion of the school’s students who are registered in ESL programs. Finally, the special needs indicator (in the tables Special needs (%))reports the proportion of the school’s students who have identified special needs. This indicator excludes gifted students. These indicators provide useful information that readers can use to compare the results at schools serving students with similar characteristics.

Detailed school reports

How to read the tables

Use the sample table and the explanation of each line below to help you interpret the detailed results for individual schools. Families choosing a school for their students should seek to confirm the Report Card ’s findings by visiting the school and inter-viewing teachers, school administrators, and other parents. And, of course, a sound academic program should be complemented by effective programs in areas of school activity not measured by the Report Card. More information regarding schools may be

found on the Alberta Education website at <http://www.education.alberta.ca> and on the websites of local school authorities.

IMPORTANT: In order to get the most from the Report Card, readers should consult the complete table of results for each school of interest. By considering several years of results—rather than just a school’s rank in the most recent year—readers can get a better idea of how the school is likely to perform in the future.

A—Geographical Area Each of the schools in the Report Card has been assigned to a geographical area based on the city or town in which the school is located. Grouping schools in these geographical areas makes it easier to compare them. Within each geographical area, the schools are arranged alphabetically. To find a school’s results, find its city or town in the List of cities and geographical areas and note the area in which the city is located.

Find the page upon which each geographical areas results begin by referring to the Index of geographical areas.

B (left)—School name, affiliation and city The school name, its affiliation—public, separate, charter, or private—and the city in which the school is located.

results for small schools tend to be more variable than those for larger schools and caution should be used in interpreting the results for smaller schools.

C—ESL (%); Special needs (%); Alt. French program (%) These statistics report the percentage of the students for whom English is a second-language; the percentage of students with special needs; and the percentage of students registered in French Immersion programs. When you want to compare academic results, these statistics can be used to find other schools where the student body has similar characteristics.

D (left)—Actual rating vs predicted based on parents’ average employment income This statistic is not available this year.

D (right)—Academic ranking The school’s overall academic rank in the province for 2013/2014 and for the most recent five years. The rankings show how the school has done academically compared to the other schools in the Report Card. A high ranking over five years indicates consistently strong results at the school.

G to J—Gr 6 average score The average mark (%) achieved by the students on the grade-6 provincial achievement tests in language arts, mathematics, science and social studies. All academic performance indicators are expressed as percentage points. No data are currently available from grade 3 testing.

K & L—Gr 6 gender gap The difference (in percentage points) between boys and girls in their average marks on the grade-6 language-arts and mathematics achievement tests. Where the difference favours the girls the value is preceded by an F. Where boys are favoured, the value is preceded by an M. An E means that there is no difference between the girls and the boys on this measure. Smaller differences indicate that the school is doing a good job for all its students.

M—Percentage of tests failed The percentage of all the grade-6 achievement tests in language arts, mathematics, science and social studies written

by students at the school that were below the acceptable standard.

N—Tests not written (%) The percentage of the tests that could have been completed by the school’s students but were not assigned a score. The Tests not written percentage takes into account tests not completed due to students’ absence; because students were excused from writing the test by the superintendent; or where students’ results were withheld because, for instance, they retired during the test sitting due to illness or they were found to have cheated. Note that schools that administer these tests are expected to ensure that all their students participate. For this reason, you should take note of the Tests not written percentage when you consider each school’s results on the Report Card. The principal of a school with a high Tests not written percentage should be able to provide good reasons for the students’ failure to complete the tests.

O—Overall rating out of 10 The Overall rating out of 10 takes into account the indicators described in rows G through M above to answer the question, “In general, how is the school doing academically compared to other schools in the Report Card?”

P—Trend An upward-pointing arrow (p) at the end of an indicator row means that the school is probably improving on that indicator. A downward-pointing arrow (q) means that the school is probably getting worse. The researchers had to be at least 90% sure that the changes were not just random before indicating a trend. A dash indicates that there is no significant change. Where insufficient data were available, “n/a” appears in the column. Note that for the two Gender gap indicators, Tests not written, and Percentage of tests failed a downward trend in the data will lead to an upward-pointing arrow in the trend column. For example, a decreasing Percentage of tests failed (%) indicates improvement and so an upward-pointing arrow is displayed.

Other notes

Note 1Due to changes in the provincial testing program, Alberta’s ministry of education did not release any grade-3 level province-wide test results for 2013/2014.

Note 2Not all the province’s elementary schools are included in the tables or the ranking. Of all the schools in the province reporting results for the achievement tests, 813 are included in this Report Card. In some school districts and divisions that operate middle schools or junior high schools, the elementary schools may not enroll students in grade 6. Since the Report Card is based on the results of tests given in grades 3 and 6, these elementary schools cannot be included.

In addition, schools at which fewer than 10 stu-dents were enrolled in either grade 3 or grade 6 are excluded, as are schools that did not generate a suf-ficiently large set of student data to enable the calcula-tion of an Overall rating out of 10 for the school year 2013/2014.

Note 3In accordance with its regulations regarding the pri-vacy of personal information, where school results involved fewer than six students, Alberta Education provided no data. Alberta Education has also refused to provide test results data from federally-funded, First-Nations, on-reserve schools.

Note 4Due to continuing improvements in methodology,

some historical values for indicators and overall rat-ings may differ from those previously reported.

Note 5Where there were insufficient data available with which to calculate an indicator or where a school was not in operation during a specific year, “n/a” appears in the tables.

Note 6You can compare a school’s results with the all-schools average results below.

How does your school stack up?

Important notes to the rankings

In this table, schools are ranked (on the left hand side of the page) in descending order (from 1 to 809) according to their academic performance as measured by the Overall rating out of ten (shown on the right hand side of the table) for the school year 2013/2014. Each school’s five-year average ranking and Overall rating out of ten are also listed. The higher the overall rating (out of 10), the higher the rank awarded to the school. Where schools tied in the overall rating, they were awarded the same rank. Where less than five years of data was available “n/a” appears in the table. For more information on these schools visit <www.compareschoolrankings.org>.

Not all the province’s elementary schools are included in the tables or the ranking. Of all the schools in the province reporting achievement-test results, 813 are included in this Report Card. In some school districts and divisions that operate middle schools or

junior high schools, the elementary schools may not enroll students in grade 6. Since , this year, the Report Card is based on the results of tests given in grade 6, these elementary schools cannot be included. In addi-tion, schools at which fewer than 10 students were enrolled in either grade 3 or grade 6 are excluded, as are schools that did not generate a sufficiently large set of student data to enable the calculation of an Overall rating out of 10 for the school year 2013/2014.The exclusion of a school from the Report Card should in no way be construed as a judgement of the school’s effectiveness.

IMPORTANT: In order to get the most from the Report Card, readers should consult the complete table of results for each school of interest. By considering several years of results—rather than just a school’s rank in the most recent year—readers can get a better idea of how the school is likely to perform in the future.

Appendix: Calculating the Overall rating out of 10

The Overall rating out of 10 is intended to answer the question, “In general, how is the school doing, academi-cally?” The following is a simplified description of the procedure used to convert the raw indicator data into the Overall rating out of 10.

1 Course by course, the average achievement test marks and failure rates for each school were standardized by calculating Z, which is defined by:

Z = (X − µ) / σ

where X is the individual school’s result, µ is the mean of the all-schools distribution of results, and σ is the standard deviation of the same all-schools distribution.

2 The course-by-course standardized average achievement test marks were then aggregated to produce a weighted average standardized average test mark value. The weighting used was the number of student writers in each subject area at the school relative to the total number of student writers of the relevant tests. This same procedure was used to aggregate the course-by-course standardized failure rates.

3 The two weighted average standardized values calculated in 2) above where then re-standardized.

4 The Gender gap indicators were calculated using the raw data and then standardized as described in step 1 above.

5 The four standardized results calculated in 3) and 4) above were then combined to produce a weighted average summary standardized score for the school. The weightings used in these calculations were Average test mark—50%; Percentage of tests failed—30%; Grade-6 gender gap: Language Arts—10%; Grade-6 gender gap: Mathematics—10%. For schools for which there were no gender-gap results in either of the two courses, the Percentage of tests failed was weighted at 50%.

6 This summary standardized score was re-standardized.

This standardized score was converted into an overall rating between 0 and 10 as follows:

7 The allowable maximum and minimum standardized scores were set at 2.2 and −3.29, respectively. Scores equal to, or greater than, 2.2 receive an overall rating of 10. This cut-off was chosen because it allows more than one school in a given year to be awarded 10 out of 10. Scores of equal to, or less than, −3.29 receive the lowest overall rating of 0. Schools with scores below –3.29 are likely to be outliers, a statistical term used to denote members of a population that appear to have characteristics substantially different from the rest of the

population. We chose, therefore, to set the minimum score so as to disregard such extreme differences.

8 The resulting standardized scores were converted into Overall ratings according to the formula:

OR = µ + ( σ * StanScore)

where OR is the resulting Overall rating, µ is the average calculated according to the formula:

µ = (ORmin − 10 (Zmin / Zmax)) / (1 − (Zmin / Zmax))

where σ is the standard deviation calculated according to the formula:

σ = (10 − µ) / Zmax

and StanScore is the standardized score calculated in (6) above and adjusted as required for minimum and maximum values as noted in (7) above. As noted in (7) above, ORmin equals zero, Zmin equals −3.29; and Zmax equals 2.2.

9 Finally, the derived Overall rating is rounded to one place of the decimal to reflect the significant number of places of the decimal in the original raw data.

Note that the Overall rating out of 10, based as it is on standardized scores, is a relative rating. That is, in order for a school to show improvement in its Overall rating, it must improve more than the average. If it improves, but at a rate less than the average, it will show a decline in its rating.

Report Card on Alberta’s Elementary Schools 201580

Peter Cowley is the Vice-President, Stategic Intitiatives and Director of School Performance Studies at the Fraser Institute. He graduated from the University of British Columbia with a B.Comm. in 1974. Shortly thereafter, he began a long career in marketing and general management in several sectors. During his assignments in general management, process improvement was a special focus and interest. In 1994, Mr Cowley independently wrote and published The Parent’s Guide, a popular handbook for parents of British Columbia’s secondary-school students. The Parent’s Guide web site replaced the handbook in 1995. In 1998, Mr Cowley was co-author of the Fraser Institute’s A Secondary Schools Report Card for British Columbia, the first of the Institute’s continuing series of annual reports on school performance. This was followed by The 1999 Report Card on British Columbia’s Secondary Schools, Boys, Girls, and Grades: Academic Gender Balance in British Columbia’s Secondary Schools, and The 1999 Report Card on Alberta’s High Schools. Since then, Mr Cowley has co-authored all of the Institute’s annual Report Cards. Annual editions now include Report Cards on elementary and secondary schools in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario and on secondary schools in Quebec. He continues his research on school performance issues for the Fraser Institute.

Supporting the Fraser Institute

Purpose, funding, & independence

The Fraser Institute provides a useful public service. We report objective information about the economic and social effects of current public policies, and we offer evidence-based research and education about policy options that can improve the quality of life.

The Institute is a non-profit organization. Our activities are funded by charitable donations, unrestricted grants, ticket sales, and sponsorships from events, the licensing of products for public distribution, and the sale of publications.

All research is subject to rigorous review by external experts, and is conducted and published separately from the Institute’s Board of Directors and its donors.

The opinions expressed by the authors are those of the individuals themselves, and do not necessarily reflect those of the Institute, its Board of Directors, its donors and supporters, or its staff. This publication in no way implies that the Fraser Institute, its directors, or staff are in favour of, or oppose the passage of, any bill; or that they support or oppose any particular political party or candidate.

As a healthy part of public discussion among fellow citizens who desire to improve the lives of people through better public policy, the Institute welcomes evidence-focused scrutiny of the research we publish, including veri-fication of data sources, replication of analytical methods, and intelligent debate about the practical effects of policy recommendations.

About the Fraser Institute

Our mission is to improve the quality of life for Canadians, their families and future generations by studying, measuring and broadly communicating the effects of government policies, entrepreneurship and choice on their well-being.

Notre mission consiste à améliorer la qualité de vie des Canadiens et des générations à venir en étudiant, en mesurant et en diffusant les effets des politiques gouvernementales, de l’entrepreneuriat et des choix sur leur bien-être.

Peer review —validating the accuracy of our researchThe Fraser Institute maintains a rigorous peer review process for its research. New research, major research pro-jects, and substantively modified research conducted by the Fraser Institute are reviewed by a minimum of one internal expert and two external experts. Reviewers are expected to have a recognized expertise in the topic area being addressed. Whenever possible, external review is a blind process.

Commentaries and conference papers are reviewed by internal experts. Updates to previously reviewed research or new editions of previously reviewed research are not reviewed unless the update includes substantive or material changes in the methodology.

The review process is overseen by the directors of the Institute’s research departments who are responsible for ensuring all research published by the Institute passes through the appropriate peer review. If a dispute about the recommendations of the reviewers should arise during the Institute’s peer review process, the Institute has an Editorial Advisory Board, a panel of scholars from Canada, the United States, and Europe to whom it can turn for help in resolving the dispute.
