A science component of the SBAs was added in 2008 for grades 4, 8, & 10. The SBAs measure what students know and are able to do at their grade level in reading, writing, math, and science as compared to the Performance Standards/Grade Level Expectations. All high school students are required to take and pass the High School Graduation Qualifying Exam (HSGQE) to be eligible for a diploma. The first administration of this exam occurs in the spring of a student's 10th grade year when students take an integrated HSGQE and SBA test that results in both an SBA score and an HSGQE score for reading, writing, and math. Students must retake any portion of the HSGQE that is not passed until all three subjects are passed. The HSGQE requirement was repealed July 1, 2014. 100 SBA Exams Spring 2013 & 2014 Grades 3-10 READING 100 SBA Exams Spring 2013 & 2014 Grades 3-10 WRITING 90 90 80 80 70 70 60 60 50 50 40 40 30 30 20 20 10 10 0 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 0 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th Spring 2013 Spring 2014 Spring 2013 Spring 2014 100 SBA Exams Spring 2013 & 2014 Grades 3-10 MATH 100 SBA Exams Spring 2013 & 2014 Grades 4, 8, and 10 SCIENCE 90 90 80 80 70 70 60 60 50 50 40 40 30 30 20 20 10 10 0 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th Spring 2013 Spring 2014 0 4th 8th 10th Spring 2013 Spring 2014

Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) The Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is the only national test of what students know and can do. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 mandated state participation in NAEP reading and mathematics assessments in grades 4 and 8 every other year so that NAEP could serve as the common measure of student achievement. NAEP does not test each fourth or eighth grader in the state. A representative sample of schools is chosen to participate in the NAEP. No NAEP individual results are given for students or schools; only statewide results are reported. NAEP scores can be used to compare to the nation and to other states. NAEP assessments are designed to assess NAEP standards, also known as NAEP frameworks. NAEP does not assess students on the standards (grade level expectations). Standards Based (SBAs) are designed to assess Grade Level Expectations, and SBAs are administered to all students in grades 3-10. More information about the NAEP in can be found at http://www.eed.state.ak.us/tls/assessment/naep.html. There are three achievement levels for each grade assessed by NAEP: Basic,, and. on the NAEP indicates students "have demonstrated competency over challenging subject matter." The following definitions apply to all subjects and all grades assessed by NAEP: Achievement-Level Policy Definitions Basic Partial mastery of prerequisite knowledge and skills that are fundamental for proficient work at each grade Solid academic performance for each grade assessed. Students reaching this level have demonstrated competency over challenging subject matter, including subject-matter knowledge, application of such knowledge to real-world situations, and analytical skills appropriate to the subject matter. Superior performance. The charts on the following pages show how students' scores on the 2013 NAEP assessments compared to the public students' scores nationally.

Accountability Accountability Teacher Qualifications NCLB requires that all teachers who teach core subject area classes be highly qualified. Under rules approved by the Department of Education & Early Development, to be highly qualified a teacher must (1) have a posted major, the equivalent to a major (30 semester hours), advanced degree or advanced certification in the content area; (2) have passed a subject knowledge test(s) approved by the state (PRAXIS II); or (3) fulfill other requirements established by the state (HOUSSE). The District s Highly Qualified Teacher Plan was approved by the Department of Education and Early Development. The Plan outlines steps the District will take to assist teachers in their efforts to become Highly Qualified.

Accountability School Performance Index Based on the School Performance Index (ASPI), gives each school a rating from one star to five stars. The ASPI index includes college and career ready indicators for schools with students in elementary and middle grade levels (K-8) and for schools with students in high school grade levels (9-12). The indicators receive different weights in the overall ASPI score as applicable to the different grade spans and most recently the alternative high schools. The academic achievement, school progress, and attendance rate indicators apply to all schools. At least 5 of the lowest performing Title I schools will be designated Priority Schools. At least 10 of the lowest performing Title I schools will be desginated Focus Schools; NSBSD does not have any Priority or School Performance Index Ratings Alak School, Wainwright Meade River School, Atqasuk Tikigaq School, Point Hope Kali School, Point Lay Nunamiut School, Anaktuvuk Pass Kiita Learning Community, Barrow Ipalook Elementary School, Barrow Hopson Middle School, Barrow Trapper School, Nuiqsut Harold Kaveolook School, Kaktovik Barrow High School, Barrow North Slope Borough School District Title I School: Two-Star Rating Title I School: One-Star Rating Two- Star Rating Title I School: Two-Star Rating Two-Star Rating Two-Star Rating Three-Star Rating Three-Star Rating One-Star Rating Three-Star Rating Three-Star Rating Teir III District - having 50 or more one- or two-star schools Schools Identified for Improvement for 2013-2014 Percent of District Schools Identified for Improvement: 100 CONSEQUENCES FOR ASPI STAR RATING All 1- and 2-star schools: District shall develop and implement school improvement plan to be submitted to EED, and notify parents.

Annual Measurable Objectives Accountability The new accountability system features two components: The School Performance Index (ASPI) and Annual Measureable Objective (AMO) targets. It effectively replaced the former Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) system that had been in place since 2002. The previous AYP system included goals set by the state and referred to a targeted percentage of students in grades 3 through 10 who performed at the proficient level or better on last year s state tests of language arts and mathematics. The new AMO targets are unique to each school, district, and subgroup based on their baseline year performance.

The AMO target is met if either the state or the district target has been met. 5. The participation rate target is 95 percent if the number of enrolled students is greater than 40. If the number of enrolled students is 40 or less, all but two students must test. Subgroups with fewer than five students will reflect "N/A in the Met? field. 6. The attendance rate target is 95 percent for the district as a whole and for each subgroup with at least five students enrolled. 7. The graduation rate target is 90 percent for the district as a whole and for each subgroup with at least five members if the district enrolls students in grade 12. A district or subgroup with 10 or fewer students in the graduation cohort satisfies the graduation rate requirement if all but one of those students graduates.
