Campuses/Districts must earn an accountability rating of Met Standard in order to be eligible for a Distinction Designation Academic Achievement Distinction Designations (AADD) Methodology Each campus is compared to its Campus Comparison Group on a number of indicators specific to each subject area (Reading/ELA, Math, Science and Social Studies) To earn AADD in a subject area, a campus must be in the top quartile of its Campus Comparison Group on the following percentages of the indicators applicable to the campus group type in that subject area: Elementary and Middle Schools: ≥ 50% of the indicators for which the campus has data High Schools and K‐12 campuses: ≥ 33% of the indicators for which the campus has data Campus Comparison Group Each campus is identified by school type (elementary, middle, high school, or combined elementary/secondary ‐ based on fall PEIMS enrollment) Each campus is assigned to a unique comparison group of the 40 other public schools that most closely match the campus based on the following characteristics: 1. Grade levels served – lowest grade level and highest grade level enrollment (based on fall PEIMS enrollment) 2. Campus size –total student enrollment (based on fall PEIMS enrollment) 3. Percentage of students economically disadvantaged (based on fall PEIMS enrollment) 4. Percentage of students identified as English language learners (ELLs) (based on fall PEIMS enrollment) 5. Mobility rate [percentage of students identified as mobile] (based on PEIMS prior year attendance) Postsecondary Readiness Distinction Designation Methodology for Campuses Elementary and Middle Schools: top quartile of Campus Comparison Group on Index 4 score High Schools and K‐12 Campuses: top quartile of Campus Comparison Group on ≥ 33% of the indicators for which the campus has data Postsecondary Readiness Distinction Designation Methodology for Districts Across all campuses in the district, determine the percentage of Postsecondary Readiness indicators for which campuses are in the top quartile of their Campus Comparison Group District earns a Postsecondary Readiness Distinction Designation if across all campuses in the district ≥ 70% of the postsecondary readiness indicators are in the top quartile of the campuses’ respective Campus Comparison Groups
