Oklahoma Data Matrix

If your school does not appear in the scatterplot or on the map, be sure you have selected a model type that is applicable to your school (e.g., an elementary-only school wouldn't appear in the High Schools view). Also, check that the filter settings haven’t omitted your school.

To take advantage of all the features the application has to offer, a device with a screen resolution of at least 1024x768 pixels (such as an iPad Mini) should be used to view the Matrix.

Fields remain empty if they are not applicable for the chosen school, the data are not available, or the data are suppressed based on the Oklahoma State Department of Education’s guidelines.

An ! indicates a filter that is actively affecting the map and scatterplot.

Enrollment relates the number of students enrolled at any point during the year, including Pre-K students and students who have been placed by court order in a juvenile facility or full-time residential facility. This enrollment is used to determine the percentage of students by race/ethnicity and program displayed within the Matrix and available for export. (Note that Pre-K students and students in court-ordered placements are not counted in the Student Demographics section on the Attendance page found at www.oklaschools.com via the About Our State, District, or School dropdown.)

Indicator points earned reflect the school's performance on a specific metric. The values are based on comparing the points earned by a school to the maximum possible number of points that school could have earned (which may vary by school). A school’s letter grade reflects their performance, as reflected by the indicator value, relative to the statewide distribution of like schools (e.g., all elementary schools).

Overall:

The “Overall” indicator combines the school's performance on the individual measures (e.g., Absence, Achievement, Graduation / Growth, etc.) into a single indicator summarizing how well the school is performing relative to like schools (e.g., all elementary schools), as reflected by the letter grade.

Achievement:

The “Achievement” indicator relates how well the site is preparing students for the next grade, course or level, either within a single content area or across all content areas. This is reflected by the percentage of points earned for students meeting or exceeding their state-level targets. More information on Achievement can be found at: Academic Achievement Spotlight Document.

Growth:

The “Academic Growth” indicator value relates how well sites are supporting students in progressing towards or maintaining mastery of grade-level academic standards in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) over consecutive years. This is reflected by the percentage of points earned. More information on Academic Growth can be found at: Academic Growth Spotlight Document.

Chronic Absenteeism:

The “Chronic Absenteeism” indicator value relates how well sites are lessening the impact of lost instructional time. This is reflected by the percentage of students in good attendance, meaning they are in school 90% or more of the instructional days offered through the school calendar. More information on Chronic Absenteeism can be found at: Chronic Absenteeism Spotlight Document.

ELPA Progress:

The “English Language Proficiency Assessment Progress” indicator value relates how well sites are supporting English Learners (ELs) in becoming proficient in the English language. This is reflected by the percentage of ELs that have demonstrated or on on-track to demonstrate proficiency in the English language based on WIDA Access test scores. More information about ELPA can be found at: ELPA Spotlight Document.

Postsecondary:

The ”Postsecondary (Opportunities)” indicator value relates how well sites are preparing students for life after high school. This is reflected by the percentage of 11th and 12th grade students successfully participating in at least one opportunity including internships, AP/IB coursework, dual/concurrent enrollment, or career and technical education (CTE) coursework leading to certification. More information about Postsecondary Opportunities can be found at: Postsecondary Spotlight Document.

Graduation:

The “Graduation indicator” values relate how well sites are supporting students in graduating with a diploma in 4, 5, or 6 years, as well as overall (Composite). This is reflected by the percentage of points earned and the 4-, 5-, and 6-year graduation rates. More information on Graduation can be found at: Graduation Spotlight Document.

Since students don't normally take the state Science test in consecutive years, there is no Academic Growth indicator for Science.
