School Summary Report District: School: AUN: Test Date: Number of Students Tested: CENTRAL VALLEY SD CENTRAL VALLEY HS 704003-000008044 Winter 03/04 Content Area: Dear School Leader: This report provides valuable information about your school s performance on the Pennsylvania Keystone Exams. The report is designed to give you an overview of how your students performance compares to the performance of students in your district and statewide, in-depth results by student group, and data on your school s achievement by assessment anchor. Please use this report and detailed supporting materials on the Pennsylvania Department of Education Standards Aligned System website (www.pdesas.org) to help you and your staff continuously improve your school. Our mutual goal is to enable all students to become lifelong learners and reach their full potential. Sincerely, About the Keystone Exams The Keystone Exams are end-of-course assessments designed to assess performance in the content areas of, Biology, and Literature. Keystone Exam results will help determine whether a student has mastered the standards associated with earning a high school diploma. The Keystone Exams are taken by students in grade to meet the federal accountability requirement for high schools. Students not in grade who have completed a Keystone-related course may also take a Keystone Exam and have their scores banked for accountability reporting until they are in grade. The Keystone Exams are offered in both paper/pencil and online formats. Keystone Exams are one component of Pennsylvania s system of high school graduation requirements affecting students in the class of 07 and beyond. These tests were developed by Pennsylvania educators and are aligned to the standards adopted by the Pennsylvania State Board of Education. The results help students, parents, and educators understand how well we are meeting rigorous expectations for student achievement in core subject areas. For more information about the Keystone Exams, please contact the Pennsylvania Department of Education or visit www.pdesas.org. Carolyn C. Dumaresq, Ed.D. Acting Secretary of Education Winter 03/04 Page
KEYSTONE EXAMS ITEMS Common items within a content area are administered to all eligible students regardless of the exam form they are assigned. Only the common items are used in determining students' scores and their corresponding performance levels. This practice ensures all students are evaluated using the same set of items. Field Test items vary between forms. These items are included only as a means for gathering statistical information about an item that might be used in a future assessment. Field Test items are not included in the results of students, schools, or the district. KEYSTONE EXAMS SCORES The Keystone Exam score is a scale score computed from the number of points a student receives on the exam (i.e., raw score). For every possible raw score on an exam form, there is a corresponding scale score. Most state testing programs use scale scores for reporting purposes. A given scale score has the same interpretation regardless of the length or difficulty of the exam. For example, a scale score of 300 always implies the same level of student performance and always falls in the same performance level. The student's Keystone Exam scale score is used to identify the student's performance level. The items on the Keystone Exams change with each administration, but they continue to measure the same Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content. KEYSTONE EXAMS PERFORMANCE LEVELS : Superior academic performance indicating an in-depth understanding and exemplary display of the skills included in the Keystone Exams Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content. : Satisfactory academic performance indicating a solid understanding and adequate display of the skills included in the Keystone Exams Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content. : Marginal academic performance indicating work approaching, but not yet reaching, satisfactory performance. Performance indicates a partial understanding and limited display of the skills included in the Keystone Exams Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content. The student may need additional instructional opportunities and/or increased student academic commitment to achieve the level. Below : Inadequate academic performance indicating little understanding and minimal display of the skills included in the Keystone Exams Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content. There is a major need for additional instructional opportunities and/or increased student academic commitment to achieve the level. KEYSTONE EXAMS ASSESSMENT ANCHORS AND ELIGIBLE CONTENT The Keystone Exams Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content are designed to clarify the Academic Standards that may be assessed in the Keystone Exams. An Assessment Anchor is reported only if five or more possible points come from items aligned with the Assessment Anchor. Results based on fewer than five items are not considered statistically reliable. Winter 03/04 Page

All medians in this report are calculated based on students' scores. The median is reported instead of the mean because extreme outlier scores can impact the mean for a small group (e.g., 5 or fewer students). Winter 03/04 Page 4
