[Pages:41]2020-2021 Preliminary End-ofYear Results

September 1, 2021

Performance Summary

? The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on student performance is clear and dramatic. Our recovery will require a multi-year effort.

? The percentage of students scoring College and Career Ready (CCR) in every grade, in every subject (with the exception of Math 3) for every subgroup of students, has greatly declined.

? However, our four-year cohort graduation rate declined only slightly to 83.6%.

? The percentage of students who were CCR increased in Math 3 compared to 2018-2019.

? Performance on the ACT improved in the aggregate and for each student group.

? Performance on the WorkKeys assessment improved in the aggregate and for several student groups.

Testing and Reporting Changes

? In 2018-19, the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) implemented new academic achievement standards in mathematics grades 3-8 and Math 1 assessments, and introduced a new EOC test, Math 3. Thus, scores on mathematics assessments are only compared to 2018-19.

? In 2020-21, NCDPI implemented new academic achievement standards in reading assessments in grades 3-8. Thus, scores on the Reading tests should not be compared to prior years. English II was renormed in 2019-20, with the new cut scores applied only to the 2019-20 EOC data from Semester 1 since testing was canceled in Spring 2020.

? The NCDPI sought and received a waiver from the U.S. Department of Education from certain accountability elements. Thus, in 2020-21 there will be no School Performance Grades and no School Accountability Growth.

? End-of-year (EOY) testing was not conducted in 2019-20 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

? The 2020-21 school year began remotely for all students, but students returned to schools for EOY testing.
