Analysis of Kentucky School Performance on Grade 3 Mathematics and Reading State Assessments

Regional Educational Laboratory Appalachia
Regional Educational Laboratory Appalachia (REL AP) supported Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) staff with training, coaching, and technical support to execute quantitative analyses aimed at two research questions: (1) which schools performed better, worse, or about the same as predicted with respect to grade 3 students' mathematics performance and reading performance in 2017 and 2018, given student and school demographic characteristics; and (2) which schools have shown larger, smaller, or about the same as predicted average annual growth in grade 3 student mathematics performance and reading performance during the five years from 2014 to 2018, given student and school demographic characteristics and their changes over time? Analyses used deidentified student-level administrative data supplied by the Kentucky Center for Statistics (KYSTATS). The partners fit multilevel hierarchical linear models to predict student scale scores, average annual growth over time in schools' average scale scores, and school-level effects. Results identified high-performing schools whose students were doing better than statistically predicted in grade 3 mathematics and reading in 2017 and 2018 and high-growth schools showing above averages gains from 2014 to 2018 in grade 3 mathematics and reading. This document includes a methodological summary of quantitative analyses performed by REL AP and KDE analysts coupled with a PowerPoint slide deck describing results completed as of winter 2020.
