Analysis of ELA Data Please indicate the % of students performing below grade level (i.e. levels 1 &
2). Please describe what Levels 1 & 2 represents (i.e. 1 below standards, 2 approaching standards).
Compare the last 2 years to see if there is improvement:
Based on the test results from the last two years, the fourth grade at P.S. 7 has tremendously improved. A
level one represents students that are below standards and have technically not passed the test and could
possibly be required to go to summer school. A level two is defined as approaching grade level standards.
When analyzing data, we would hope to see a decrease in the percentage in level ones and twos, and an
increase in level threes and fours. When comparing 2013 to 2014 test results the level ones went from
29.2% to 23.9%, which means less students failed. The level twos decreased as well from a 38.9% to a
23.9%. The level threes and fours both have increased.

Analysis of Math Data Please indicate the % of students performing below grade level (i.e.
levels 1 & 2). Please describe what Levels 1 & 2 represents (i.e. 1 below standards, 2
approaching standards). Compare the last 2 years to see if there is improvement:
The fourth grade students performance on the Math exam was impressive. A level one
represents students that are below standards and have technically not passed the test and could
possibly be required to go to summer school. A level two is defined as approaching grade level
standards. The level ones decreased from 2013 to 2014 which means less students failed the
exam. The level twos increased slightly. These results could be due to the students that
previously got a level one and have improved to a level two. The percentage of students who
performed on a level three had also decreased which may be caused by the dramatic increase
of level fours in 2014.

Analysis of ELA Data - Compare General Ed to Students with Disabilities levels on 1&2 and also indicate if
there is a difference between the groups for past two years - Indicate if there was improvement :
In ELA, students with disabilities performed much lower in comparison to the general students. Students with
disabilities were mostly scoring level ones or level twos. In 2012-2013, 98.3% of students with disabilities
received a level one or a level two. However, students with disabilities if noted on their IEP only have to get a
certain percentage of the test correct to pass to the next grade. The following year, students with disabilities
increased slightly. The percentage of threes and fours rose and the level twos and ones declined. There was still
an obvious gap between general students and students with disabilities in 2014.
Analysis of ELA Data - Compare the performance of the ELL students to the performance of all students. Please
indicate in your report what Levels 1 & 2 indicate. Compare the last 2 years to see if there is improvement:
There is a considerable gap between general students and ELL students in 2013. In 2013, 34.1% of students got
ones and twos. There was 44.9% of ELL students that got threes and fours in 2013. The ELL population had
shown a lot of improvement in 2014. The gap has shrunk between general education and ELLs. In 2014, there
was only a ten percent difference between the ones and twos. The ELLs performed better than the general
population. The general population were 36.7% threes and fours, meanwhile, the ELL population were 46.8%.
The ELLs have made remarkable improvements.

Analysis of Math Data - Compare General Ed to Students with Disabilities levels 1&2 and also indicate if there
is a difference between the groups for past two years - Indicate if there was improvement :
Students with disabilities in the past two years are under performing, however, depending on their IEP students
in special education do not have the same expectations to determine their success. Students with disabilities
were 89.8% levels ones and twos in comparison to the general education of 57.2%. The gap illustrates that there
is a larger number of students with disabilities that are receiving level ones and twos and performing below
grade level standards. In 2014, the gap between the general students and the students with disabilities stayed the
same, however, both had improved from the previous year.
Analysis of Math Data - Compare the performance of the ELL students to the performance of all students.
Please indicate in your report what Levels 1 & 2 indicate. Compare the last 2 years to see if there is
improvement:
In Math, the ELL and general population are very comparable. There is not a large gap between the ELL
population and the general population in the school. In 2013, the ELL population did better in comparison to all
students because they had a smaller percentage receiving ones and twos and a larger percentage receiving threes
and fours. The ELL population often does well in mathematics because math is the same in every language. In
the following year, there were very similar results in which the gap stayed about a 10% difference. The ELLs
were still performing higher. Even though the gap didnt shrink, both the ELLs and general population improved
from the previous year.
