Missouri School Improvement Program MSIP began in 1990 and entered its fifth version in 2013. MSIP 6 is currently being developed. The Missouri School Improvement Program has the responsibility of reviewing and accrediting the 520 school districts in Missouri. The process of accrediting school districts is mandated by state law and by State Board of Education regulation. MSIP 5 Policy Goals 1. Articulate the state's expectations for student achievement with the ultimate goal of all students graduating ready for success in college and careers; 2. Distinguish performance of schools and districts in valid, accurate and meaningful ways so that districts in need of improvement can receive appropriate support and interventions, and high-performing districts can be recognized as models of excellence; 3. Empower all stakeholders through regular communication and transparent reporting results; and 4. Promote continuous improvement and innovation within each district.

MSIP is organized in three sections: Resource Standards, Process Standards and Performance Standards. The Resource Standards address the basic requirements that all districts should have in place. They are generally quantitative in nature and include such components as class size, course offerings, and appropriate certification. Some standards are appropriate for all districts. Other standards need to be tailored for districts in different contextual settings. The Process Standards address the instructional and administrative processes used in schools. They include standards on instructional design and practices, effective teachers and leaders, and governance. Performance Standards include multiple measures of student performance. The standards against which all school districts will be assessed include academic achievement; subgroup achievement; college and career readiness (K-12) or high school readiness (K-8); attendance; and graduation rate. The Department annually collects and analyzes data for the performance standards as part of the accreditation process.

APR ---- ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT To measure progress toward Missouri reaching Top 10 by 20 plan and to distinguish among school and district performance, the Department computes an Annual Performance Report (APR) score for each school and Local Education Agency (LEA). Five Performance Standards: 1. Academic Achievement 2. Subgroup Achievement 3. High School Readiness (K-8 district s only) or College & Career Readiness (K-12) 4. Attendance Rate 5. Graduation Rate

Subgroup Achievement District shows improvement in the following subgroups: F/R lunch, racial/ethnic background, ELL, and students with disabilities. Areas that are assessed: ELA, Math, Science and S.S. Total points possible: 4 in ELA, Math, and Science; 2 points in S.S.

3. College and Career Readiness: The district provides adequate post-secondary preparation for all students. Indicators *1-3: Includes percent of students who scored at or above the state standard on ACT, SAT, ASVAB, WorkKeys and Compass. The district s composite score that meet or exceeds the state standard or demonstrate required improvement and the percent of graduates who participated in any of these tests. Total points possible: 10 Indicator 4: Includes percent of graduates who earned a qualifying score on AP, IB, DC or IRS, TSA. PLW courses have been added to this indicator. Total points possible: 10 Indicators *5-6: Post-secondary percent of graduates who attend post secondary education/training or are in the military within 6 months of graduation. Also the percentage of graduates who complete career education programs approved by the department and are placed in occupations directly related to their training, continue their education or are in the military within 6 months of graduating. Total points possible: 10 ***K-8 school districts can receive points here if they provide adequate post- elementary preparation for all students. Percent of students who take an EOC while in the elementary school. Total points possible: 10

4. Attendance Rate: The percent of students who regularly attend school. They follow the 90/90 rule. Total points possible: 10 5. Graduation Rate: The percent of students who complete an educational program that meets the graduation requirements. Total points possible: 30 Three years of consecutive data for each standard are used to determine status, progress and growth. Once the scores for each Standard have been generated, they are combined into a single score that is your APR score.
