ESSA Summative Designations

Much of the material in the upcoming slides is sourced from the Illinois State Board of Education

22

23 of 51

The Illinois Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA)

  • Federal Legislation (replacing No Child Left Behind) that requires each state to create a plan
  • 2019-20 is the second year of implementation for Illinois’ ESSA plan
  • Principles - educative, equitable, non-punitive
  • Designed to identify schools/groups in need of support and then provide that support

23

24 of 51

Tier 1

Exemplary School

A school that has no underperforming subgroups, a graduation rate of greater than 67 percent, and whose performance is in the top 10 percent of schools statewide.

Tier 2

Commendable School

A school that has no underperforming subgroups at or below the level of the "all students" group in the lowest 5 percent of Title 1 schools, a graduation rate greater than 67 percent, and whose performance is not in the top 10 percent of schools statewide.

Tier 3

Underperforming School

A school in which one or more subgroups is performing at or below the level of the “all students” group in the lowest 5 percent of Title I schools.

Tier 4

Lowest Performing School

A school that is in the lowest-performing 5 percent of Title I schools in Illinois and those high schools that have a graduation rate of 67 percent or less.

Data Points for 2019 Summative Designations

As a reminder...

All academic data for ESSA designations and state-level performance analysis - both proficiency and growth - is based on performance on the mandated state assessments - for 2019, these were the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA), the Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) and the Dynamic Learning Map (DLM) assessments.

ISBE Data Embargo

  • State assessment data and summative designations are shared preliminarily with districts
  • All data is under embargo until October 30, 2019 at noon
  • Embargo language includes “all public presentations”
    • Specifically mentions Board of Education meetings
    • Internal conversations are permissible

Defining “Proficiency”

The Illinois Assessment of Readiness (IAR) recognizes five levels of achievement. Proficiency is achieving a Level 4 or Level 5 (meets or exceeds expectations).

​

The Illinois Science Assessment recognizes two levels of achievement, titled “not proficient” and “proficient.”
