2015-2016 School Value-Added Report: EDISON HIGH Introduction This document contains your school's value-added information and supplemental achievement data. Value-added estimates are a key component of MPS' school accountability system and one of the measures in the MPS principal evaluation system. Your value-added estimate represents your school's impact on student learning by comparing your students' growth to similar students across MPS. Your value added can be high even if your students are not proficient. We hope that this document helps you make your value-added estimate(s) more meaningful. If you have any questions or suggestions for improving this report, please email tequestions@mpls.k12.mn.us.
Overall value added The table and graph below shows your value-added estimate for all grades combined. The value-added scale ranges from 0-6, and the average is 3. The colored points on the graph show your value-added estimate for each subject. The color of each point corresponds to where your value added is compared to the average. Each value-added estimate on the graph is surrounded by a confidence interval line of the same color. A confidence interval represents the margin of error around your estimate. The length of this line represents the possible range of your value-added estimate. Your true estimate could fall anywhere on that line, with the colored point being the best estimate.

How does our overall value added compare to other schools'? The graph below shows how your school's overall value added compares to other schools'. Your site is shown as a colorful shape indicating your site's value-added estimate and inference about growth compared to the average. The vertical dashed line indicates the average value added of 3.0. The horizontal dashed line indicate the average of standardized pre-test scores. This is a way of looking at prior achievement. You can use this graph to determine where your students started out in terms of prior achievement and how much they learned over the year. For example, schools in the bottom right quadrant had students who started the school year with low achievement on average but exhibited high value-added growth thanks to their school. 1 Overall value added compared to other schools' Mean pre-test score (standardized) 0-1 1 0 3.85 EDISON HIGH 4.58 EDISON HIGH Math Reading Legend Far above Above Comparable Below Far below Other MPS school -1 1 0 2 3 4 5 6 Value-added estimate

Grade 9 math How did our grade 9 math students grow academically? The graph below splits your students in half based on where they entered your class. The two halves are classified as your "higher achieving" students and your "lower achieving" students. This allows you to see what kind of growth both of these groups made. In the graph, your students are shown as colorful shapes. The diagonal black line represents the average score. Students above that line grew more than average. Students below the line grew less than average. Overall, 62% of your students grew more than average. The gray dots represent all other students in MPS who are in the same grade and subject as your students. Among your students: 16% were lower-achieving and exhibited 35% were lower-achieving but exhibited 22% were higher-achieving but exhibited 27% were higher-achieving and exhibited. Actual scores compared to scores predicted by pre-test scores only 278 Post-test score 230 183 Classification Taught by another 825 850 Pre-test score 875

Value added by strand: Grade 9 math The following table and graph show your grade 9 math value added by strand. The purpose of this information is to provide more nuanced and diagnostic information on your value added estimate. For example, if one strand is lower than the others, then devoting more time to that content could improve students' overall learning and your overall value-added estimate in the coming year.
