Section 4 AAC 06.826 - Indicators of school quality or student success(a) Chronic absenteeism will be included as an indicator of school quality or student success for all schools in which student attendance can be measured. Attendance cannot be measured in correspondence schools or facilities in which students are incarcerated. A school will earn between zero and 100 points for the percentage of students who are not chronically absent. A student is considered chronically absent if the student missed at least 10 percent of the days in which the student was enrolled in the school.
(1) To determine the points for chronic absenteeism is the number of students who were enrolled at the same school for at least half of the school term;(2) the numerator is the number of students enrolled at the same school for at least half of the school term who were not chronically absent; in this section school term has the meaning given in AS 14.03.030. (b) Grade three English language arts proficiency is included as an indicator of school quality or student success for a school serving students in grade three. A school will earn between zero and 100 points for the percentage of students in the all-students group scoring at the proficient or advanced achievement levels on the statewide assessment in English language arts under 4 AAC 06.737 or 4 AAC 06.775(b). If the school meets or exceeds a 95 percent assessment participation rate under 4 AAC 06.820(a), the denominator will be all full academic year students in grade three with a valid score; if a school does not meet a 95 percent assessment participation rate, the denominator will be 95 percent of all full-academic-year students in grade three. The points earned for school's grade three English language arts proficiency indicator are calculated as follows: (1) if the percentage of students scoring at the proficient or advanced achievement level is greater than 20 percent but less than 80 percent, the points earned are the percentage of students scoring at the proficient or advanced achievement level or higher;(2) if the percentage of students scoring at the proficient or advanced achievement level is less than or equal to 20 percent, the points earned are zero; and(3) if the percentage of students scoring at the proficient or advanced achievement level is greater than or equal to 80 percent, the points earned are 100.Eff. 10/20/2018,Register 228, January 2019 Authority:AS 14.03.123
