5. What actions should your school consider to avoid being labeled “low performing” in the coming year?

6. Which of these statements do you agree with based on these data? (Explain your answer for each.)

a. This year all eighth graders should get more intensive instruction in mathematics.

b. This year all European American students should get more intensive instruction in mathematics.

c. Teachers should obtain a detailed breakdown of last year’s test results by item or content standard.

Scenario H
Suppose you’re teaching in a district that requires students to attain eighth-grade proficiency in
mathematics in order to enroll in Algebra I in high school. Looking at students’ performance the
preceding year, you found the results in Figure 8 for the Latino and African American students
who make up your school’s entire student body.

• A score of 65% on the district math test is considered proficient, and
• A school is considered “low performing” if less than 50% of students in any student

subgroup reach proficiency.
