However, high school students ARE included in the gifted Performance Index 
calculation....which according to the state information on the gifted 
rankings also includes SS kids on the SS OGT, and SC identified kids on the 
Science OGT subtests.

What is the Performance Index? 
The Performance Index is a calculation that measures student performance on 
the Ohio Achievement Assessments/Ohio Graduation Tests in grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 
7, 8 and 10 (OGT). 

You can learn more about the role of the Performance Index in Ohio's current 
accountability system by visiting the Ohio Department of Education's website

Sorry Jeffrey, I goofed.  Currently high schoolers are not included.

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
