Table I: Cincinnati Public Schools (District and Charter) Ranked by Performance Index Score The following pages list Cincinnati s public charter and district schools ranked by Performance Index (PI) score for the 2010-11 school year. Numerous other performance indicators are also included, but the Performance Index score was selected for ranking the The Performance Index score is calculated by multiplying the percentage of students that are untested, below basic/limited, basic, proficient, accelerated, or advanced by weights ranging from 0 for untested to 1.2 for advanced students. The totals are then summed up to obtain the school or district s PI score. PI scores range from 0 to 120, and the state has set the goal for all schools to achieve a PI score of 100 or better. For a complete description of how the Ohio Department of Education calculates the PI score see their website here: http://www.ode.state.oh.us/gd/documentmanagement/documentdownload.aspx?documentid=29878. 3
schools because it provides an overall indication of how well students perform on all tested subjects in grades 3 through 8 and the Ohio Graduation Test. We strongly encourage readers to look closely at the number of standards met and the number of standards possible. A school with a large number of possible standards and possible standards met has gotten a large percentage of students to the state proficiency goals. We also encourage readers to consider schools value-added results. Where the Performance Index reflects student achievement at one point in time, value-added tells us how a school is doing at helping its students make progress from year to year. For more on value-added, see Fordham s value-added primer on our website: http://www.edexcellencemedia.net/publications/2008/200808_ohiovalueaddedprimer/ohio_value_added_primer_final_small.pdf 4
