WTF Bridges?
Congrats to ITS for climbing up to Tier 1.
LAMB's numbers are astounding.

Glad to see Cap City rising from Tier 2 to Tier 1.

Middle is still Tier 2. Lower and high school are Tier 1.

Lee is Tier 2. I think this is their first time being tiered?
SSMA is as well. Went from 60% to 44%?

You need 2 years of testing data to get a Tier -- although there was a partial report for Lee last year that left the "tier" and growth piece off.

Looks like Bridges was hurt by their ELA PARCC scores (including a lack of growth on them year over year) and reenrollment. Sad news.

CMI is on high side of tier 2. If their tier score increases the same amount this year as last, they'll make tier 1 next year. 2 years at the latest before they make tier 1, IMO. They're on a similar trajectory as ITS.

Very proud of this school. The administration's hard work is truly showing.

It's not fishy -- it's the methodology (last year they got a 75, this year an 81).

Median growth percentile counts for a LOT in this measure. More than just 'proficiency.'

So a school where students are improving on PARCC year to year, even if they are not yet at 60-70% proficiency, will be rewarded in the ratings. The reports will show the relative weightings of the different factors.

(Note - the formula does also control for students who are already proficient having less 'room' to improve - but I'm not sure how).
