Section 511IAC6.2-10-4. Performance domain

   (a) The performance domain shall consist of an English/language arts indicator and a mathematics indicator. A school's final performance domain category placement shall be determined based on the weighted average of the awarded performance indicator points. The weight of the English/language arts indicator shall be fifty percent (50%) of the performance domain, and the weight of the mathematics indicator shall be fifty percent (50%) of the performance domain. Grades shall be assigned in accordance with the following points scale:

(1) 90.0 – 100.0 points = A

(2) 80.0 – 89.9 points = B

(3) 70.0 – 79.9 points = C

(4) 60.0 – 69.9 points = D

(5) 0.0 – 59.9 points = F.

(2) A school must have at least thirty (30) eligible students in the accountable year to obtain English/language arts points.

(3) If a school does not have at least thirty (30) eligible students in the accountable year, the school's English/language arts points will be based on the results of the mandatory annual assessments of a cumulative aggregate of eligible students.

(4) Points awarded for English/language arts shall equal the product of eligible students that passed the mandatory statewide annual assessment for English/language arts and the assessment participation rate as follows:

(A) If the assessment participation rate on the English/language arts portion of the mandatory annual assessments is greater than or equal to ninety-five percent (95%), then the participation rate shall be one (1).

(B) If the assessment participation rate on the English/language arts portion of the mandatory annual assessments is less than ninety-five percent (95%), then the participation rate shall equal the participation rate in decimal form.

  (c) The mathematics indicator for performance shall be determined in accordance with the following:

(1) Points shall be awarded for grades 3 through 10, respectively, where data are available. Points shall not be awarded for grades 11 and 12.

(2) A school must have at least thirty (30) eligible students in the accountable year to obtain mathematics points.

(3) If a school does not have at least thirty (30) eligible students in the accountable year, the school's mathematics points will be based on the results of the mandatory annual assessments of a cumulative aggregate of eligible students.

(4) Points awarded for mathematics shall equal the product of eligible students that passed the mandatory statewide annual assessment for mathematics and the assessment participation rate as follows:

(A) If the assessment participation rate on the mathematics portion of the mandatory annual assessments is greater than or equal to ninety-five percent (95%), then the participation rate shall be one (1).

(B) If the assessment participation rate on the mathematics portion of the mandatory annual assessments is less than ninety-five percent (95%), then the participation rate shall equal the participation rate in decimal form.
