Box 94064)[ |](doe.louisiana.gov | P.O. Box 94064)[ P.O. Box 94064](doe.louisiana.gov | P.O. Box 94064) • Baton Rouge, LA • 70804-9064 Page 1 of 11  \nStatewide Results  \nFall 2023 to Fall 2024 Results  \nOverall K-3 data indicates an increase of 2.3 percent proficiency from Fall 2023 to Fall 2024. Data indicates that Grade 1 increased by 4 percent, Grade 2 by 3.8 percent, and Grade 3 by 2.4 percent. This improvement in each grade and overall reflects the efforts to improve literacy instruction in the state. Entering Kindergarteners are weaker in their literacy skills than last year’s Kindergarteners, showing a decrease of 1.1 percent.  \nFall 2024 data also indicates an increase in proficiency by cohort data. In the graph below, students are included by their 2024 grade level showing the prior year’s beginning-of-year ( BOY) results.  \nFall 2024 results revealed that 28.4 percent of Kindergarten students, 49.9 percent of first graders, 54.5 percent of second graders, and 54 percent of third graders scored proficient on the full battery of the screener. This is the second year of the implementation of a universal screener for all students in K-3, with school systems administering the full battery of the literacy screener.  \nStatewide Participation Rates  \nAll students are required to be assessed, and the data for these students is required to be reported. To identify students who needed to be assessed, the LDOE utilized the October 1 collection data as the denominator of students expected to test.  \nIt is important to note that the participation rate in each grade level also increased from the Fall 2023 (beginning-of-year) test administration to the Fall 2024 (beginning-of-year) test administration. The Office of Assessments, Accountability, and Analytics worked to collect all data from all sites and school systems. This is part of ongoing efforts to ensure high data quality across the agency. The comparison table is below.  \n\n| Grade | 2023 Fall BOY Participation Rate | 2024 Fall BOY Participation Rate |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kindergarten | 96. 2% | 97.8% |\n| 1st | 96.5% | 98.3% |\n| 2 nd | 96.5% | 98.3% |\n| 3 rd | 96.4% | 98.3% |\n| K-3rd | 96.4% | 98.2% |\n\nLiteracy Screening for Students with Disabilities  \nFall 2024 Results  \nFall screening results reveal that 26,514 students with disabilities were assessed using DIBELS® 8th Edition. These results indicate that, for students with disabilities, 23.1 percent of kindergarteners, 33.7 percent of first graders, 34.9 percent of second graders, and 30.1 percent of third graders scored proficient on the full battery of the screener.  \nStudents with Disabilities Participation  \nOne element of setting high expectations for students with disabilities is having all students participate in statewide assessments. The Individualized Education Program ( IEP) team should base assessment participation decisions on how, not if, the student will participate. The table below represents the percentage of students in Kindergarten through third grade identified as a student with disabilities with a screener result reported.  \n\n| Grade | Participation Rate |\n| --- | --- |\n| Kindergarten | 94. 2% |\n| 1st | 94.8% |\n| 2 nd | 94. 2% |\n| 3 rd | 94.3% |\n| K-3rd | 94.4% |\n\nAlternate Literacy Screening for Students with Significant Disabilities  \nThe kindergarten, first-grade, second-grade, and third-grade Literacy Alternate Assessment Rubrics ( LAAR) provide alternate methods to DIBELS® 8th Edition for assessing literacy skills for Louisiana students with significant cognitive disabilities and are aligned with  Louisiana Connectors. Skills assessed include print concepts, phonological awareness, phonics and word recognition, fluency, and comprehension.  \nStudents who may qualify to participate in the LAAR are students with significant cognitive disabilities.
