General Connection Information
-
This metric is part of the Education-to-Workforce (E-W) Indicator Framework, specifically "Outcomes and milestones" which pertain to key outcomes and milestones along the E-W continuum that are strongly associated with individuals achieving economic mobility and security.
This metric is a measurement for a key indicator, "Math and reading proficiency in grade 8," and measures whether students in grade 8 have demonstrated proficiency in math and reading/English language arts according to high-quality state standards.
Calculating a Response
-
Use the following CEDS elements to determine the school years for which the data will be measured:
School Year = most recent school year,representing July 1 through June 30
Use the following CEDS elements to determine the universe of students:
Pull all unique students which is determined by using a unique Student Identifier where Student Identification System = State
Where the student:
is associated with a State Education Agency through the State Agency Identifier where State Agency Identification System = SEA
is associated with a Local Education Agency through the Local Education Agency Identifier where Local Education Agency Identification System = SEA
is associated with a K12 school through the School Identifier where School Identification System = SEA
From the universe of students, narrow the list to 8th graders using the following CEDS elements.
Entry Grade Level = 08, and
Enrollment Entry Date is ≥ July 1 of the school being reported, and
Enrollment Exit Date is ≤ June 30 of the school year being reported.
Identify which students meet grade level standards in Math:
Filter records where Assessment Academic Subject = 01166 (Mathematics) and
Assessment Identifier = the ID for the standardized state assessment and
Assessment Identification System = State-assigned number
Assessment Score Metric Type = Proficiency Level
Assessment Administration Start Date ≥ July 1 of the school year in which the data are being measured
Assessment Administration Finish Date ≤ June 30 of the school year in which the data are being measured
Assessment Purpose = State Accountability
Assessment Result Score Value is not null
Identify which students meet grade level standards in reading/English language arts:
Filter records where Assessment Academic Subject = 13372 (English) or 00560 (Reading) or 13373 (Reading/Language Arts)
Assessment Identifier = the ID for the standardized state assessment and
Assessment Identification System = State-assigned number
Assessment Score Metric Type = Proficiency Level
Assessment Administration Start Date ≥ July 1 of the school year in which the data are being measured
Assessment Administration Finish Date ≤ June 30 of the school year in which the data are being measured
Assessment Purpose = State Accountability
Assessment Result Score Value is not null
To calculate the percentage of students in grade 8 who meet grade level standards:
Count the number of students who met the grade level standard in Math.
Count the total number of students assessed.
Divide the number of students who met the grade level standard in Math by those assessed and multiply by 100.
Repeat for reading/English language arts.
