School Value-Added Summary

Understanding the Report

In this report, the table includes each school's growth measures for the most recent year. These values and their associated colors come from each school's value-added reports. A white cell in the table indicates that no growth measure was available.

Comparing Growth Across Grades and Subjects

When comparing growth across grades and subjects, it's important to focus on the effectiveness levels rather than the growth measure values. By itself, the growth measure does not account for the amount of evidence above or below Expected Growth. In contrast, the effectiveness level is based on both the growth measure and its associated standard error. The standard error provides a measure of how strong the evidence is that the students met, exceeded, or did not meet expected growth. Because both the growth measure and the standard error are accounted for in applying the colors, the effectiveness levels offer a fair and appropriate way to identify patterns of growth across grades, subjects, and districts.

The colors on this report match the colors on each school's Value-Added report and are applied using these rules.

ColorGrowth Index Compared to Expected GrowthInterpretation
Light Blue

At least 2 standard errors above

Significant evidence that students made more growth than expected.

Green

Between 2 standard errors above and 2 standard errors below

Evidence that students made growth as expected.

Yellow

More than 2 standard errors below

Significant evidence that students made less growth than expected.
