Let's take a look at the ELA bracket next. Here is the initial breakdown of the bracket. Just like in Math to advance to the second round we calculated the number of students moved out of level 1.
Who's ready to see the winner of the Math Bracket??? For our final winner we used the movement of all students in all levels between the fall and winter interims. We took the percentages and reported them in points. Movement of students in all levels is so important for the achievement calculation and also the growth calculation in the accountability score.
Disclaimer: The March Madness Data Duel provides a broad overview of the percentage of students who demonstrated growth by moving from Level 1 to Levels 2, 3, and 4 between interim assessments. It is important to note that the number of students assessed varied across testing windows, which may impact overall percentages and comparisons.
This data is intended for informational and celebratory purposes only and should not be used to determine or influence a district’s official accountability rating. The goal of the Data Duel is to recognize and highlight the hard work schools are doing to support student growth—while also embracing a bit of March fun and friendly competition.
The Math Bracket is advancing like the Arkansas Razorbacks. See where we are. In the second portion of the bracket we looked at the Achievement area (level 3 and level 4). In the event of a tie we are using the total number of level 4s. If there is still a tie then we chose to look at the total score of movement of students in all areas.
Who's ready to start March Madness ATLAS? This first data duel is based solely on the percentage of students moved out of level 1 between the fall and winter interims. Let's see who moves on in our bracket.
