[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At risk kids aren't weighted any more than the other student groups. Students with disabilities are - but only an extra 5%. If you run the scores with the all student metric for both performance and growth, and not student groups the conclusions dont' change (empower group did this over the weekend). What is making these ratings look different in spots is that student growth is weighed more heavily that proficiency. [/quote] Exactly, having such a weighting for growth penalizes proficiency. As a system administrator, growth is an important metric. But as a parent, proficiency is what matters. It's the same thing with demographics (which can get widely skewed by population size, is dependent on accurate sorting, and utilizes race as a stand in for harder to determine categories such as household income, parental education, etc).
