EOC Questions & Answers for Schools

Are the Algebra I and English II End-of-Course (EOC) assessments reliable and valid ?

Yes. At its August 18 meeting, Missouri’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) confirmed that 2017 Algebra I and English II EOCs are valid and reliable assessements and are appropriate for student purposes such as course grades and A+ scholarship eligibility. However, the TAC concluded that there were year-to-year comparability issues and recommended the state not use the End-of-Course assessment scores for Algebra I and English II for accountability purposes. The 2017 EOC district and statewide results will not be released in these subjects.

How will the state handle the APR calculations given the exclusion of Algebra I and English II?

The state will not use the 2017 Algebra I or English II EOCs in the status or progress calculations this year or in future years.

How should districts handle individual students’ EOC scores?

Most school districts have already delivered Questar’s individual student reports (ISRs) to districts. Consistent with previous guidance from DESE, educators should use raw scores from those assessments. Districts may also use EOC scores for determining A+ scholarship eligibility.
