Chris,

I’ve attached another Excel file that has the same kind of information we sent yesterday for districts for school buildings. There were 316 buildings where there were early Algebra I takers in 2017 with the percent of 2017 math scores in those buildings accounted for by A1 ranging from 50% to less than 1%.

Let us know if you have questions or need anything further related to A1 scores in the growth modeling.

Mark

Chris,

The attached file contains counts of math exam score records used in this year’s growth modeling for each district and reports the number of Algebra I records used for 7th grade math and the number of Algebra I records used for 8th grade math for calculating 2017 student level growth measures. We also present the percent of 2017 math scores that were Algebra I.

There were only 774 grade 7 Algebra I scores used and 12,213 8th grade Algebra I scores used (combined, these Algebra I scores represent 4% of 2017 math scores used in the 2017 growth modeling.) There were 227 districts where there were 2017 Algebra I scores used for growth, with percentages ranging from 1% of records to 31% of math records (a KC charter district).

If you select all the rows in the Excel file and then sort descending order by the percent of 2017 scores that were Algebra I you can get a quick look at which districts would be most influenced by 2017 Algebra I scores.

Let us know if you have questions.

Mark for Team MU

PS

Now that we’ve done this for 2017, it strikes me that we really may want to know how many 2016 Algebra I scores there were. Please pon der on this and let us know if you concur. If so, Jing Song can replicate counting Algebra I records used for 2016 math growth measures.
