So, how would you show growth in high school when they only take the OGTs? 
Is there another measurements for high schoolers?

Yes, any student identified in those specific areas (math, reading, cog 
and only in the applicable subject areas) in any grade regardless of 
service or not?at least that was the case for the 2013 report card.  The 
future?  Well, who knows?

And yes, high school and as well as any student identified in any grade 
will affect the overall grade.

So would students in high school also be counted in the district gifted 
grade card? We service students 3-8th grades only. Does that have any 
effect on the overall gifted grade? 

So its only those who are sup. cog or sup. academic in math and reading 
that count toward that gifted grade? 

Yes, your email did help. Thanks.

Hello Jeffrey, 
Gifted on the report card this year is based on just one year?s data 
because it is the first time the specific areas of giftedness have been 
disaggregated.  The progress of students identified as gifted in math 
and/or cognitive were counted on math, and students identified as gifted 
in reading and/or cognitive were counted in reading, based on the OAA 
tests in those subjects.  It is all children in the district counted as 
gifted in those specific areas as reflected in EMIS, not just those 
children seen by the gifted specialist.  Those scores are then combined to 
come up with a composite score. 

However, you should know that the calculation to determine the grade is 
based on a formula similar to the teacher reports and not as it is 
calculated when you receive your value added reports.  The grade card 
takes the overall estimated gain of the students and divides that by the 
standard error to come up with a growth index.  Then there is a chart that 
tells you the grade based upon that growth index.  A score equal or 
greater than 2 gives a district an A.  A score less than -2 gives a 
district or school an F.  Keep in mind that a C equates to average growth, 
meaning that they are performing as expected.  On the right side of the 
report card under progress if you click on view more data you will see a 
breakdown by grade of the district?s overall combined progress by grade 
level and under the colorful chart is the breakdown of index scores and 
the grade associated with each. 

In contrast the value added calculation takes the estimated mean gain of 
the group, and compares it to the standard error.  Anything beyond two 
standard errors gives you an above average rating or a dark green. 
Anything below two standard errors gives you a below expected growth or 
red.   

Hope that helps, 
Barb

I have a few questions if anyone has some idea to the answers I would 
appreciate it. A few of my colleagues were in a meeting yesterday and were 
trying to figure out what were the subgroups that gifted gets graded on 
for the state grade card. Going further, does anyone know what factors go 
into the gifted grade on the grade state grade card. Last year we recieved 
an 'F', but we were not sure of why. Can anyone help so I can explain it 
to my colleagues? 

Thanks
