Agenda Item Summary: This memo and the attached updated report serves as an update to the Preliminary SOL Accreditation data presented to the Board on September 13, 2018. As anticipated, there were no changes to any schools' overall Accreditation statuses or to indicator levels in these final numbers from VDOE. The major changes were from a recent VDOE change in their Accreditation calculation methodology for the EL subgroup resulting in an increase in EL subgroup pass rates across schools.
Background: The Assessment Update: 2017-2018 Preliminary Results is provided to apprise stakeholders to both preliminary division and school level performance on key assessment results during the 2017-2018 school year. As additional results become available (e.g. SAT, ACT and VA On-Time Graduation rates), supplementary analyses and reports will be provided.
Recommendation: The Superintendent recommends review of the Assessment Update: 2017-2018 Preliminary Results for possible planning, procedural, programmatic, and/or budgetary changes.
