Sheet: FY2014 Notes

Notes:
This file contains preliminary district-level estimates of the counts of 3rd grade students that did not score at least a 392 on the FY2014 Ohio Achievement Assessment in Reading.
The file contains data for Ohio's traditional public districts and community schools with tested students in third grade.
For more information on Ohio's Third Grade Reading Guarantee, please visit ODE's website here:
http://education.ohio.gov/Topics/Early-Learning/Third-Grade-Reading-Guarantee
The Third Grade Reading Guarantee is legislated in Ohio Revised Code 3313.608.
These data represent estimates of the number and percentage of third graders who, in FY2014, did not score at least a 392 on the Reading OAA.  These data should not be interpreted as counts of students that were retained in the third grade as a result of their OAA results.
Students who do not score at least a 392 on either their Fall or Spring OAA will have an additional opportunity to score at least a 392 on an assessment administered based on the OAA Alternate List and the Summer OAA.
In addition, Ohio Revised Code specifies that students with certain Individualized Education Plan (IEP) statuses or Limited English Proficient (LEP) statuses are exempt from the Third Grade Gaurantee.  This analysis does not account for these exemptions, nor does it account for the results of the summer OAA opportunity, an OAA alternative assessment or if they have been retained previously and had two year of reading intervention.
Data Source:
These results are based on preliminary data as reported to the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) by the state test vendor.  The results do not account for scoring appeals or student mobility and are not verified by school districts.  The official FY2013 assessment results were reported to ODE by districts via the Education Management Information System (EMIS).
These estimates are based on preliminary data as it relates to Ohio's Third Grade Reading Guarantee and should not be considered estimates of what Ohio's school districts should have received on their Report Card's third grade reading indicator.  Data for the Report Card indicator was reported by districts via EMIS, is based on the 400 proficiency cut score, and incorporates Ohio's Accountability business rules.

Data Reporting:
This file includes data for Ohio's traditional public districts and Ohio's community schools.  Only those community schools that had 3rd grade test results in the state vendor file are included in this file.
The esimates incorporate data from both the FY2014 Fall OAA and the FY2014 Spring OAA.  Students who scored as least a 392 on either the Fall or Spring assessment are given credit for having scored at least a 392.
Assignment of student data to districts is not based on the Where Kids Count rules that are applied to Ohio's Accountability data.  For the purpose of these esimates, students are assigned to districts based on where they were last reported.  For example, in cases where a student was reported by District A in the Fall and in District B in the Spring, the student was assigned to [NAME]In cases where a student was reported by District A in the Fall, but was not reported by any district in the Spring, the student was assigned to [NAME]
The counts in this file include all students; they are not adjusted for students' Individualized Education Plan (IEP) status or for Limited English Proficient (LEP) status.   As specified in Ohio Revised Code, under certain circumstances, students with IEPs or students who are LEP are exempted from the Third Grade Reading Guarantee.
In compliance with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and to protect student privacy, data based on less than ten total tested students is reported as "NC."
Students reported in the state vendor file with a scale score of "DNA","DNS", or "INV" were treated as a scale score of "000" in this analysis.
Put-in-Bay Local (048975) and [NAME] (049062) did not have sufficient numbers of tested third grade students to include in this analysis and are excluded from the report.
