What does my school rating mean?

Five-Star school: Recognizes a superior school that exceeds expectations for all students and subgroups on every indicator category with little or no exception. A five star school demonstrates superior academic performance and a superior graduation rate. The school does not fail to meet expectations for any group on any indicator. These schools are recognized for distinguished performance.

How are school star ratings determined?

Schools receive points based on student performance across various Indicators and Measures. These points are totaled and divided by the points possible to produce an index score from 1-100. This index score is associated with a one- to five-star school rating.

Academic Achievement

Academic Achievement is a measure of student performance based on a single administration of the State assessment. Cut scores are set to determine the achievement level needed to be proficient on the assessment. Points are earned based on the percent of students proficient in the areas of English Language Arts (ELA), Math and Science based on the ACT, Nevada Science, and Nevada Alternate assessments.

Schools need to have ten records in the "all students" group to receive points. Any subgroup with an assessed population less than ten will not be reported on the given Measures. Only students who have been enrolled at the school at least half the year ill be included in the Measures in this Indicator.

Graduation Rates

The cohort graduation rate is determined through the adjusted cohort graduation rate (ACGR) process and follows federal guidelines for computing the rate. This process usually results in preliminary graduation rates in October, with disaggregated rates determined in December. Because these dates are past the required State accountability reporting date of September 15th, the cohort rates used for this indicator lag one year behind the other accountability data in the school rating system. Schools need to have ten records in the “all students” group to receive points. Any subgroup with a population less than ten will not be reported on the given measures. Any student whoever belonged to any special population subgroup (IEP, EL, or FRL) during their high school career are included in the subgroup rates.

English Language

English Language Proficiency is a measure of English Learners (ELs) achieving English Language proficiency on the state English Language Proficiency assessment, WIDA. The NSPF includes Adequate Growth Percentiles (AGPs) to determine if ELs are meeting the goal toward English Language proficiency. Students meeting their growth targets should be on track to become English proficient and exit EL status in five years. Schools need to have ten records in the EL subgroup to receive points. Any school with an assessed population less than ten will not be reported on the given Measures. Only students who have been enrolled at the school at least half the year will be included in the Measures in this Indicator.

This table shows the breakdown of the percentage of students, by subgroup, who participated and completed college and career readiness program coursework. The four programs that are used in Nevada are Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), DualCredit/Dual Enrollment (DC/DE), and Career and Technical Education (CTE). The AP is a program created by the College Board offering college-level curriculum and examinations to high school students. Colleges often grant placement and credit to students who obtain high scores on the examinations. The IB Diploma Program is a two-year comprehensive and rigorous pre-university curriculum leading to an IB diploma. The IB Program was designed through an international cooperative effort and is based in Geneva, Switzerland. Both the Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate Programs give high school students an opportunity to pursue college-level studies while still in high school. DC/DE allows students to take college courses while still in high school. Students can earn college credits upon successful completion of the coursework. CTE provides students with the academic and technical skills, knowledge and training necessary to succeed in future careers by introducing them to workplace competencies, and makes academic content accessible to students by providing it in a hands-on context. Note that not all schools in Nevada have all these programs available. For example, only a few schools in the state offer an IB program.

Student Engagement

Chronic Absenteeism and 9th Grade Credit Sufficiency are Measures of Student Engagement. Chronic absenteeism is defined as missing 10 percent, or more, of school days for any reason, including excused, unexcused, or disciplinary absences. Students who are absent due to school-sponsored activities are not considered absent for the purposes of this calculation. Schools that reduce their chronic absenteeism rate by 10 percent or more over the prior year may receive incentive points up to the maximum points possible. Schools can also earn points based on the reduction rate if the points earned via the reduction rate is greater than the points earned by the chronic absenteeism rate and incentive points combined. Research shows that attendance is tied to student achievement. 9th Grade Credit Sufficiency represents the percent of students earning at least five (5) credits by the end of the first year of high school. Schools need to have ten records in the “all students” group to receive points. Any subgroup with a population less than ten will not be reported on the given Measures. Only students who have been enrolled at the school at least half the year will be included in the Measures in this Indicator.
