[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lee is Tier 2.  I think this is their first time being tiered?  
SSMA is as well.  Went from 60% to 44%?  [/quote]

Lee still has no PARCC scores, so how is the Tier given?

[b]And, SSMA. They had really low re-enrollment. I wonder how many points came off for that alone??[/b][/quote]

They lost over 17% just on attendance and re-enrollment. SMH[/quote]

Now this to me isn't right. I mean, fine, lose 5%. But 17?? why is it weighted so high?

Problem: it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Parents see the rating decline, they don't re-enroll, rating goes further down the hill. I don't really think it's about the actual quality of the school.[/quote]

Reenrollment isn't weighted that heavily, like 5% of total score.[/quote]

But for SS, which was scored on a scale of 55 total points (due to no PARCC results to measure growth and no Gateway metric), the reenrollment is worth 18% of the overall score and the attendance is worth 18% as well.

Well the methodology shouldn't be news to the school leadership; they should have put more emphasis on attendance knowing it was going to be heavily weighted.

I think reenrollment was affected due to their move -- and that should smooth out after a year. Parents should talk to the admins and see what they are going to DO about this, or if they are unconcerned. [/quote]
