La. Admin. Code tit. 28 § LXXXIII-705

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 11, November 20, 2024
Section LXXXIII-705 - Annual Measurable Objective
A. The annual measurable objective (AMO) is the percent of students required to reach the proficient level in a given year on the standards-based assessments. Beginning in 2015, English language arts and mathematics test results from grades 3-8 LEAP, iLEAP, high school EOC algebra I and English II, and LAA 1 will be used to calculate the percent proficient for the subgroup component (for schools and districts).
1. At the middle school level, if a student takes algebra 1, then the algebra 1 score shall be used for AMO calculations.
2. At the high school level, if the algebra I score was used at the middle school level, the geometry score shall be used for AMO calculations.
B. As required in NCLB, the AMOs have been established based on the baseline percent proficient score (proficient=CRT level of basic, mastery, or advanced) in English-language arts and mathematics in the 20th percentile school, using the 2002 CRT test scores in ELA and mathematics for grades 4, 8, and 10.
1. For proficiency levels see chart below.

D. A 99 percent confidence interval shall be used when evaluating whether subgroups within a school have attained the annual measurable objective (AMO).
E. A confidence interval is a statistic that creates a range of scores. Subgroups with a 95 percent participation rate that attain a percent proficient score within or above the confidence interval range for the AMO shall be considered as having passed the subgroup component. Confidence interval ranges are affected by subgroup size. Smaller subgroups will have a wider range and larger subgroups will have a narrower range.
