Lowest-Performing Designation  \n1. How are schools identified for “comprehensive” support?  \nA school that is in the lowest-performing 5 percent of eligible Title I schools in Illinois and those high schools that have a graduation rate of 67 percent or less. Schools identified as “Lowest-Performing”receive “comprehensive” supports through collaboration with ISBE and partners to build on their strengths and address their individual challenges in serving all students successfully.  \n2. How was the designation calculated for the lowest-performing 5 percent of schools?  \nThe lowest-performing 5 percent of schools is based on the \"all student group\" index score generated according to the state’s accountability rules for each school. Schools receive a score between 0 and 100 for each indicator. These indicators are weighted according to the plan and added to create a school’s total index score. ISBE rank ordered schools serving K-8 bands and identified the 5 percent with the lowest index scores. ISBE rank ordered high schools and identified the 5 percent with the lowest index scores.  \n3. What is the threshold index score for the lowest-performing 5 percent of schools?  \nThe threshold index score is 81.144 out of 100 for K-8 schools. The threshold index score is 26.094 out of 100 for high schools. Schools with overall index scores lower than those thresholds are included in the Lowest-Performing category and will receive comprehensive support.  \n4. Is the average \"all\" of the Lowest-Performing schools based on 3rd-12th data, 3rd-8th PARCC only  \ndata, 3rd-8th PARCC and DLM data, or are schools matched to the grade levels of the lowest schools?  \nISBE identified the lowest-performing 5 percent for schools serving grades in the K-8 band and for schools serving the 9-12 band. Schools in the K-8 band used English language arts ( ELA ) and math proficiency data from PARCC and DLM, as well as English Learner (EL) Progress to Proficiency data based on ACCESS scores, if they had a large enough EL population. Schools in the 9-12 band used ELA and math proficiency data from SAT and DLM; ACCESS data for the EL Progress to Proficiency indicator, if their EL population was large enough; as well as their 4-, 5-, and 6-year graduation rate and 9th grade on-track rate.  \nII . Underperforming Designation  \n5. How are schools identified for targeted support?  \nA school in which one or more student demographic groups are performing at or below the level of the “all students” group in the lowest 5 percent of all schools. Schools that receive an“Underperforming” designation will receive targeted support.  \n6. What are the official subgroups?  \nThe official subgroups are ELs, Former ELs, Students with Disabilities [currently just students with Individual Education Programs (IEPs)– 504 will be included beginning school year 2020], Former Students with Disabilities (will be included for SY 2019), Low Income, Hispanic, Native American, Asian, Black, Pacific Islander, White, Multi-Racial.  \n7. How does a school determine which subgroup resulted in the designation?  \nA school or district may obtain information about the underserved student group that resulted in the preliminary designation [by contacting](by contacting essa@isbe. net)[ ](by contacting essa@isbe. net)[essa@isbe. net](by contacting essa@isbe. net), Rae Clementz in the Assessment and Accountability Division at [aclement@isbe. net](aclement@isbe. net), or Patrick Payne in the Data Strategies and Analytics Division at [ppayne@isbe. net](ppayne@isbe. net. ISBE will)[. ISBE will](ppayne@isbe. net. ISBE will) provide detailed information about student group performance, both at the index score level and at the indicator score level, through secure reports in advance of the official October designation. These reports will contain school-level data as well as a narrative description of the scoring of the indicator.
