<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">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?
</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">So its only those who are sup. cog or sup. academic in math and reading that count toward that gifted grade?
</span><br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Yes, your email did help. Thanks.</span>

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#004080">Hello Jeffrey,</span>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#004080">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.</span>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#004080"> </span>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#004080">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.</span>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#004080"> </span>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#004080">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. </span>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#004080"> </span>
<br>
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#004080">Hope that helps,</span>

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">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?</span>
