NCLB SCHOOL PUBLIC ACCOUNTABILITY REPORT

The School Public Accountability Report contains several types of data(indicators)designed to inform

parents and the general public about the progress of Florida's public schools. This report meets the

public reporting requirements of the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act and includes certain

additional information of interest on the status of Florida's schools.

READINESS TO START SCHOOL

Florida requires that communities collaborate to prepare children and families for children's success

in school.

Kindergarten students were screened during the first 30 calendar days of the beginning of school using the

Florida Kindergarten

Readiness Screener (FLKRS). The FLKRS is made up of a subset of the Early Childhood Observation System

(ECHOS)- an

observational instrument that is used to monitor the skills, knowledge, and behaviors a student

demonstrates or needs to develop-

and two probes of the Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS)- Letter Naming Fluency

(LNF) and

Initial Sound Fluency (ISF).

The benchmarks used in scoring for the ECHOS include the following:

* Consistently Demonstrating

? The student is consistently demonstrating acquisition of this skill or behavior.

* Emerging/Progressing

? The student is at an early stage of growth but appears to be showing growth towards the

skill or behavior.

* Not Yet Demonstrating

? The student is not exhibiting any learning in the benchmark.

The benchmarks used in scoring for the DIBELS are as follows:

* Above Average

? At or above the 60th percentile

* Low Risk

? At grade level

* Moderate Risk

? Moderately below grade level and in need of additional intervention

* High Risk

? Seriously below grade level and in need of substantial intervention

GRADUATION RATE AND PREPARATION FOR POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION

Florida high schools strive to ensure that students graduate and are prepared to enter the workforce

and postsecondary education.

Graduation rate (with special diploma recipients counted as non-graduates)

The graduation rate shows the percentage of students who graduated within four years of initial entry

into ninth grade. Graduates include students who received a standard high school diploma or a State

of Florida diploma earned through a GED Exit Option program. These results are used in the calculation

of schools' Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP).

Graduation rate (with GED-based diploma recipients counted as non-graduates)

This is a modified version of the graduation rate that counts the following diploma recipients as

graduates: students who received a standard diploma; students with disabilities who completed the

requirements of their individualized education plan (IEP) and received a special diploma. Students

who were awarded a GED-based diploma are counted as non-graduates. These results are not used for the

AYP calculation.

STUDENT PERFORMANCE

Florida's students are expected to compete at the highest levels nationally and internationally and

become prepared to make well-reasoned, thoughtful, and healthy lifelong decisions.

Standardized Tests

Although test scores should not be used to draw absolute conclusions about student learning and

performance, they provide measured results of student progress toward educational goals. The tests

administered to Florida students are described below.

Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT)

The FCAT measures student performance in writing, reading, mathematics, and science.

Alternate Assessments for Students with Disabilities

An alternate assessment for students with disabilities is a performance-based assessment designed

to evaluate the progress of students with disabilities on the Sunshine State Standards for Special

Diploma measures. Alternate assessments are used with students whose demonstrated cognitive

functioning ability prevents them from achieving the Sunshine State Standards and who require extensive

direct instruction in the areas of domestic, community living, leisure, and vocational activities.

Alternate

assessments for students with disabilities are given for writing/communication, reading, and math.

Alternate Assessments for Students who are English Language Learners

Students who are English Language Learners (ELL) and who have been in an English for Speakers of

Other Languages(ESOL) program for less than one year may be individually exempted from the FCAT.

In these limited circumstances, locally developed alternate assessments are used to evaluate the

academic performance of the student. Alternate assessments for ELL students are given for writing,

reading, and math.

I. FCAT Sunshine State Standards Tests

The FCAT Sunshine State Standards (SSS) tests measure student performance on selected benchmarks

defined by the Sunshine State Standards. Students who take an alternate assessment have their results
