How useful is the CELDT data for kindergarten going to be if everyone else is being tested  using a different test?

# data[].attributes.body
Grade 3

We noticed that the I-Feps took a sudden downturn in math after 11th grade and we wondered what could have caused that.
In ELA, the R-Feps went down the most. The I-Feps went down, then up, then sharply down. We don't have any ideas for why this is happening. We are reading other posts to find out.

# data[].attributes.body
In ELA and math, English Only and District overall  pretty much followed the same trend.  EL scores are significantly lower than district overall and the gap widens as students progress to higher grade levels.
Higher levels of support are needed to close the gap between 8th and 11th grade.

# data[].attributes.body
We wonder why our EO's  have such low percentage of proficiency.

Why are the percentages for proficiency in math of  IFEPs so much higher than EOs? With all the programs for EL's, it seems like the EOs are getting left behind.

We noticed the higher the grade, the less likely the students are to be reclassified.

2nd grade
We noticed that EO's seem to be tracking right along with the district.  We also noticed that ELL's fell well below especially in middle school.  We wonder if that may be because there is less support in Middle and High School.

# data[].attributes.body
We think that Common Core has an impact on students' performance because they have to explain their answers and reasoning in multiple ways. In Third Grade, 84% of students are being "R-Fepped". In the primary grades, teachers work hard to reclassify our students. In ELA, the elementary (all the way up to Fifth Grade) scores are able to reclassify, and it drops dramatically in middle school and high school.

# data[].attributes.body
What we noticed as a team was the sudden drop in ELA w/ R-FEPS. We wonder if the reason is once a student is reclassified, they are no longer required to participate in ELD programs and activities? Do students continue with ELD programs in middle school once they reclassified? Who here is ready to party?

# data[].attributes.body
It is surprising that the English Only are lower than the R-FEP's in percentage. From 5th to 6th grade the scores dipped. We attribute this to the increased of
academic language.

# data[].attributes.body
Math is heavily impacted with academic language and literacy. Our ELLs are at a disadvantage if they have not gained proficiency in early literacy.

EL proficiency dramatically drops from 5th to 6th grades and keeps declining. Is there a disconnect between the primary and middle school years?

ELA and Math
I notice that ELLs flatline in middle school and continues through high school.
Why do so many ELLs drop in their scores during 6th grade.
We need to be able to prepared our students with higher academic language for the rigor of middle school.
We are maintaining and have slight improvement towards the end of 11th grade.
Many ELLs are struggling in math because there is so much reading involved now days.

ELA & Math
The data we just looked at impacts our jobs because we have a high population of ELL students in our district.  We have to figure out how to support them since it appears that as they move on to higher grades the gaps get bigger.
The ELL's compared to the IFEP and RFEP groups demonstrate a huge difference in scores.

# data[].attributes.headline
We found that it was interesting to see that as the students got older, their scores remained stagnant/the same, or went down.  It was troubling to see how few were going up as the grade level advanced.

Is the big dip in ELA scores in 6th grade attributed to students beginning in middle school and no longer having one teacher in a contained classroom? What else could contribute to those drops in scores.

# data[].attributes.body
Will the change in deeper math teaching and knowledge result in deeper conceptual understanding? Math is becoming more real word situations and integrated.  Does the increase in reading reflect the drop in knowledge?

Comprehension and retelling is an area that we need to continue to support our EL's.

Reclassified kids appear to have an easier time getting higher scores because they have a better understanding of language and translating/comprehending.
