A Latent Profile Analysis of Ohio School District Demographic Factors and Their Impact on Value-Added and District Performance Indexes
Ellie Lukas
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, The University of Findlay
This dissertation contributes to the discussion of what contributes to school district rankings in the state of Ohio. It uses Latent Profile Analysis to explore different variables at the contextual and district level as they correspond to Ohio's Performance Index academic measure and Value-Added academic measure. Results show that contextual variables contribute more to the Performance Index academic measure, while district variables contribute more to the Value-Added academic measure. School districts in Ohio should not be compared solely through Performance Index. Instead, districts should be compared through Value-Added, or a combination of the two. This study calls for an improved individualized comparison model to apply to school districts when evaluating them.
