Section XI-1907 - Pairing/Sharing of Schools with Insufficient Test Data

A. A school with at least one testing grade, considered as third through eleventh grades, will receive an SPS based only on its own student data provided that the school meets the requirements of LAC 28:XI.1901.

B. Any school which includes kindergarten through second grades and does not have sufficient data to receive a reading/ELA, mathematics, science, and social studies indicator shall be paired with the school to which the majority of the second grade students will be enrolled for third grade for the purposes of receiving the school third grade assessment results for contribution to the reading/ELA, mathematics, science, and social studies indicators.

C. A school enrolling only twelfth grade students will be awarded an SPS based on shared data from a school or schools containing ninth through eleventh grades from which the majority of students are enrolled. The sharing calculation shall define the cohort that will provide the starting roster on which the graduation indicator will be based.

D. A district must identify the school where each of the non-standard schools shall be paired in order to facilitate proper sharing of data for reporting purposes in accordance with this Section. The paired school must be the school that receives by promotion the largest percentage of students from the non-standard school. If two schools receive an identical percentage of students from the non-standard school, or when there is no distinct feeder pattern, the district shall select the paired school.

E. If a school has too few test units to be a stand-alone school, the school may request to be considered stand-alone. The request shall be in writing to the LDOE from the LEA superintendent.

1. The school shall receive an SPS that is calculated solely on that school's data, despite the small number of test units.

2. The school forfeits the right to appeal an SPS and status based on minimum test unit counts.
