2005 Analysis of 2014 iLEAP Results for the Recovery School District in New Orleans Charles J. Hatfield, M.S. Co-Founder of Research on Reforms Email: cjhatfield@researchonreforms.org 10/1/2014 2014 This report focuses on the 2014 iLEAP results for the Recovery School District in New Orleans's (RSDNO) 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th graders. These iLEAP tests have been administered statewide to these grade levels since the spring of 2006 as one of the major assessments of its accountability program.1 Until the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE) and the RSD-NO demonstrate otherwise, it is logical for Research on Research (ROR) to assume that the vast majority of the 2014, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th grade students have attended RSD-NO schools since they were in first grade.2 Considering that the RSD-NO has been in existence for at least 10 school years, and considering all the hype that has been printed about the successes of this market-based reform movement3 by the LDOE, it is logical for ROR to expect that these RSD-NO grade cohorts as a group would not perform at the bottom of the 2014 iLEAP score distribution of Louisiana school districts. However, the results presented here do not confirm that expectation. Although annual gains have occurred since 2006, the 2014 iLEAP results presented in this report show that these grade levels are still performing in the bottom 25% of school districts, just as they did in 2006. The supporters of market-based reform movement have extolled the successes of the RSD-NO by focusing on percent proficiency gains since 2006. However, simply reporting achievement gains in percent proficiency scores is meaningless without establishing a framework for comparing these gains to either absolute standards of expectation or to relative ranking to other school districts in the state. The major student goals established by the LDOE under the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) program in 2002 were 100% proficiency in ELA and in mathematics by 2014.4 In addition, annual expected student targets called Annual Measureable Objectives (AMOs)5 were established by the LDOE to monitor the annual progress of students towards achieving the 2014 goal. Yet, annual progress towards achieving these AMOs was rarely, if ever, reported to the general public or the media by the LDOE or RSD-NO. See Appendix A for a list of these expected AMOs by school years established by the LDOE in 2002. When assessing the RSD-NO’s achievement progress, ROR believes that it is more informative for parents and the public to report annual percent proficiency scores of the RSD-NO relative to the scores of other school districts in Louisiana. The metric used to generate this comparison is called the percentile rank.6 It enables one to compare where a school district's iLEAP proficiency score ranks in comparison to scores of other school districts in Louisiana. This report analyzes the RSD-NO’s disaggregated , 2014 iLEAP percentile ranks for English Language Arts (ELA), mathematics, science and social studies. The reader is referred to Appendix B for explanations of the statistical and assessment terms used in this report. 1 Charts 1 through 4 present the 2014 RSD-NO percentile ranks for all iLEAP subjects tested at grades 3, 5, 6, and 7 relative to other Louisiana school districts. It can be easily observed that, with the exception of 6th grade social studies, the percentile ranks at each grade level and iLEAP subject are less than or equal to the 25th percentile rank. School district scores that fall at or below the 25th percentile are in the bottom 25% of the achievement score distribution for Louisiana. A description of the procedures used to calculate iLEAP percent proficiency scores and percentile ranks for each 2014 iLEAP grade appears in Appendix C. Appendices D through G present the necessary support data for the results presented in each chart.

Similar conclusions for 4th and 8th grade students on the 2014 LEAP tests were previously reported by Research on Reforms. Ten years after the total destruction of a generally inept school system; 10 years after the arbitrary firing pre-Katrina teachers; 10 years of unsuccessfully experimenting with a market-based reform, system; 10 years of questionable funding of charters with Minimum Foundation Funds (MFP); 10 years of displacing students from their closed or converted "failing" schools; 10 years of reporting questionable results for achievement, graduation rates and dropouts, attendance, etc; and 10 years of unsuccessfully experimenting with poor, minority , urban, students, how can the RSD-NO serve as a model of a successful reform movement that should be exported nationwide? Admittedly, there have been achievement gains made in the overall performances of the RSD-NO on iLEAP and LEAP. However, other school districts have also made achievement gains over that time period. It is difficult to accept the fact promulgated by the LDOE that the RSD-NO has had a significant and positive educational impact on these grade levels when they are still performing at the bottom of the state's school districts. 4 In a strategic attempt to save the LDOE from the sanctions associated with failure to achieve the unrealistic, NCLB proficiency goals by 2014, Louisiana Superintendent of Education, John White, applied for and received a waiver from the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE) in 2012. This resulted in the establishment of a new achievement goal of mastery by 2025. Considering the performance of the RSDNO in 2014, ROR believes that this new goal, while admirable and aspirational, is even more unrealistic and unattainable than the one established in 2002 for 2014. The new LDOE goal is predicated on the successful implementation of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and the associated new assessments, i.e., Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC). The LDOE’s public relations spiel for adopting the CCSS and PARCC was that the existing standards were not rigorous enough and must be replaced by more rigorous ones in order to better prepare students for college and careers. Yet, to this researcher’s knowledge, no empirical evidence has ever been presented to indicate how and to what extent these new CCSS standards are superior to the LDOE’s accountability standards that were established in 1998. Is the LDOE really serious or is this just another example of the hyperboles that have been promulgated by the LDOE, RSD-NO and their advocates to continue to delude the public about the successes of this market-based reform movement? After ten years, the vast majority of the RSD-NO’s students at each grade level has failed to come even close to achieving the 2014 NCLB achievement goal of 100% proficiency under the old standards. Now, the LDOE expects that students will perform at the higher mastery level in another 11 years under these rigorous standards. By 2025, the LDOE will have been in “reform mode” for 25-plus years. What assurances do parents, students, educators and the general public have that the essential educational, social, economic resources and support will be adequately provided in order to achieve these more rigorous and challenging standards to at least an acceptable level? It is important to emphasize that ROR is not blaming the victims, here, but is challenging the LDOE and RSD-NO to ensure that over the next 11 years all children will have the opportunity to learn according to their learning styles. The results presented here question the extent to which such adequate instructional resources, adequate teaching training and support were systematically provided to RSD-NO students during the previous 14 years of the LDOE’s accountability reform measures. If this new high aspirational goal of mastery is not reached by the state in 2025, the LDOE will be able to fabricate new bait and switch strategies. Consequently, the LDOE will be enabled to claim the need for new higher standards, assessments and goals to placate the public, as they did in 2014. The cyclical educational pendulum will then swing back again in 2025 as it did in 2014, 1998 and 1988,7 leaving the vast majority of its poor, 5 minority, urban students in education reform limbo again. Sadly, another generation of students will be lost. Indeed, this is the tragedy of the market-based reform movement in New Orleans. 6 Endnotes 1 rd th th th Prior to 2006, the 3 , 5 , 6 , and 7 graders were tested with the norm-referenced IOWA Tests of Basic Skills which is not comparable to the iLEAP. 2 th th th To accurately determine how many of the 2014 3th, 5 , 6 and 7 grades in the RSD-NO have been in the system st since 1 grade, one would need to use student level data files to longitudinally tract these cohorts back to first grade. 3 ROR uses the term “market-based reforms” to describe the major features of the turnaround strategies of the RSD-NO after taking over the schools in Orleans Parish in 2005. Some of the more salient features of this economic model involves closing or converting direct-run schools into independently run charters by independent for-profit/non-profit organizations with little transparency or accountability to the public; privately appointed boards that are not answerable to the public, firing teachers and principals of failed schools at will, dispersing students of failed schools to other schools, offering public school “choice” to parents, establishing voucher programs, etc. As of the beginning of the 2014-15 school year, all schools in the RSD-NO are now charter schools, making the RSD-NO the only school district in the nation with all charter schools. 4 In 2001, the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) was established “…to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high‐quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and state academic assessments…” This act forced Louisiana to modify the original accountability system and goals to be in compliance with NCLB (No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, Public Law 107‐110, and Section 101). Accordingly, the 2014 goals of Louisiana were as follows: • • School Performance Score Goal: Every public school will have an SPS of 120 by 2014. Student Proficiency Goal (NCLB): Every public school student will score at the proficiency level (Basic or above) on a five point scale on LEAP/iLEAP/GEE in ELA and mathematics by 2014. The five point scale includes Advanced, Mastery, Basic, Approaching Basic and Unsatisfactory. 5 Bulletin 111-The Louisiana School, District and State Accountability System, July 2014, page 10. http://doa.louisiana.gov/osr/lac/28v83/28v83.doc 6 The percentile rank of a given achievement score in a distribution of achievement scores represents the percent of scores that fall at or below a particular score. The percentile rank can also be stated as the percent of scores that fall above a particular score in that distribution 7 2006-2007 Louisiana State Progress Report, Louisiana Department of Education, May, 2008 7 Appendix A LDOE's 2002-2014 Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs) The numbers below represent the annual percent proficient expected in ELA and mathematics AMOs School Ye ar ELA Mathe matics 2002-2003 36.90% 30.10% 2003-2004 36.90% 30.10% 2004-2005 47.40% 41.80% 2005-2006 47.40% 41.80% 2006-2007 47.40% 41.80% 2007-2008 57.90% 53.50% 2008-2009 57.90% 53.50% 2009-2010 57.90% 53.50% 2010-2011 68.40% 65.20% 2011-2012 78.90% 76.90% 2012-2013 89.40% 88.60% 2013-2014 100.00% 100.00% 2001-2002 8 Appendix B Definitions of Major Statistical and Assessment Terms Used in Report Number Proficient/Mastery: In LEAP and iLEAP, the proficient score represents the number of students scoring at Basic or above, i.e., Basic, Mastery or Advanced. Number Mastery is the number of students scoring at Mastery or above, i.e., Mastery or Advanced. Percent Proficient/Mastery: In LEAP and iLEAP, the proficient score represents the number of students scoring Basic or above, i.e., Basic, Mastery or Advanced, divided by the total number of students tested. Percent Mastery is the number of students scoring at Mastery or above, i.e., Mastery or Advanced, divided by the number of students tested. Percentile/Percentile Rank: A percentile rank indicates what percent of scores are the same or lower than a given score in a distribution of scores. Percentile ranks and associated quartiles generally provide more information about district test scores in terms of how they compare to each other, than raw scores such as scaled scores, percent correct or percentages. It is important to emphasize that a percentile rank represents a type of measurement that should not be added or subtracted from one another. One can only assess whether a rank is higher or lower than another. Percentile rank definitions can vary. The definition of percentile rank used in this paper is that it represents the percentage of district proficient scores that are the same or below a given score Quartile: The quartile divides a distribution of test scores into four equal quarters. The first or bottom quartile is the number at or below which 25 percent of the scores fall. The second quartile or the median (i.e. 50th percentile) divides the test score distribution into two equal parts, i.e. 50% percent of the test scores are below it and 50% are above. The third or upper quartile has 75 percent of the test scores at or below it. The top 25% of the test scores fall above it. Mean/Median/Mode: Mean, median, and mode are three kinds of averages or measures of central tendency for a distribution of test scores. The mean is the arithmetic average. The median is the middle value in a distribution of test scores. The mode is the value(s) that occurs most often in the distribution of scores. Frequency Distribution of Test Scores: A list of test scores by school district and their frequency of occurrence by each district. Appendices D, E, F and G present the frequency of 2014 proficient scores and associated percentile rank in ELA, mathematics, science and social studies by school district 9 Appendix C Procedures Used to Compute Percent Proficiencies and Percentile Ranks The 2014 iLEAP data in this report were obtained from the LDOE's iLEAP State-District Achievement Level Summary Report 2014 . ROR computed percent proficient scores for each school district by adding the percent of students that scored at or above basic in each district. When the data were suppressed by the LDOE in any of those achievement categories, the percent proficient was computed by adding the percent of students scoring in Approaching Basic and Unsatisfactory and then subtracting that sum from 100. Using these two scenarios, ROR was able to generate percent proficient scores for all of the districts reported. The percentile rank associated with each proficient score was then generated using 2010 Microsoft Excel’s Percentrank.exc function. Percent proficient and percentile ranks were not computed for the combined results of the RSD-NO and Orleans Parish (OPSB), RSD-EBR and East Baton Rouge Parish (EBR), and the RSDLouisiana. It should be emphasized that after the 2010 spring testing, the LDOE revised its reporting methods for reporting students scoring in each of the five LEAP achievement levels, i.e., Advanced, Mastery, Basic, Approaching Basic and Unsatisfactory. It now reports only percent of students scoring in each of the achievement category along with suppressed percentages and enrollment numbers. The LDOE suppresses percent and numbers by adding “≥” or “≤” in from of them. This tactic severely limits the scope of researchers or general public from re-configuring or analyzing the LDOE’s data to answer their own specific questions. The algorithms used to compute percent proficiency from the LDOE's suppressed 2014 iLEAP data appears in the table below.

Note: The LDOE reports whole rounded numbers for percent proficient. This may result in rounding errors when computing percentile ranks. These rounded percent proficient scores are the best available data from the LDOE at this time. 10 Appendix D (Chart 1) 2014 Computed 3rd Grade Percent Proficient and Equivalent Percentile Rank for iLEAP Subjects Note: the ELA Percent Proficient scores are ranked from high to low (No. Districts = 71) RSD-NO scores are highlighted in green District 3rd ELA Percent Proficient LOUISIANA STATEWIDE ZACHARY COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT WEST FELICIANA PARISH CENTRAL COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT PLAQUEMINES PARISH OPSB ST.
