(a) Each year, the department will determine a school performance index score for each school in the state, based on a 100-point scale. The index is the Alaska school performance index. (b) Each factor included in the Alaska school performance index has a maximum of 100 points. The factors and the weighting of each factor in the index are as follows: (1) for a school with students in grades kindergarten through eight, (A) academic achievement, 35 percent; (B) school progress, 40 percent; (C) attendance rate, 25 percent; (2) for a school with students in grades 9 - 12, that is not an alternative school, (A) academic achievement, 20 percent; (B) school progress, 40 percent; (C) attendance rate, 10 percent; (D) graduation rate, 20 percent; (E) college and career readiness indicator, 10 percent; (3) for an alternative school with students in grades 9 - 12, (A) academic achievement, 10 percent; (B) school progress, 50 percent; (C) attendance rate, 10 percent; (D) graduation rate, 20 percent; (E) college and career readiness indicator, 10 percent; (4) for a school with students in a combination of grades kindergarten through 12, the factors and weighting under (1) - (3) of the subsection, applied proportionally to the percentage of students enrolled in each grade span in the school as reported on the first day of testing under 4 AAC 06.737. (c) Under the Alaska school performance index, (1) a school's academic achievement score is the percent of all students tested on the state standards-based assessments described in 4 AAC 06.737 who score proficient or higher on the state assessments in reading, writing, and mathematics if the school meets or exceeds a 95 percent assessment participation rate under 4 AAC 06.820(a); if a school does not meet a 95 percent assessment participation rate, students who were not tested will be counted as not proficient; (2) a school's school progress score is the school's score on the growth and proficiency index described in 4 AAC 33.540, or a combination as calculated under this paragraph of the scores of the school and each of the school's subgroups on the index, up to a maximum of 100 points; for each of the subgroups listed in this paragraph that have more than five students enrolled at the school, 10 percent of the school's progress score consists of the subgroup's score on the growth and proficiency index; each subgroup included in the school score represents 10 percent of overall progress points and the all-students group represents the remaining percentage to total 100 percent; the four subgroups are (A) Alaska Natives and American Indians; (B) economically disadvantaged students; (C) students with disabilities; and (D) students with limited English proficiency; (3) a school's attendance rate shall be calculated as a percent as set out in 4 AAC 06.895(i), based on all students enrolled at the school, and the department will award points based on the following scale: (A) for all schools except alternative schools with students in grades 9 - 12, (i) 96.00 - 100 percent, 100 points; (ii) 93.00 - 95.99 percent, 95 points; (iii) 90.00 - 92.99 percent, 80 points; (iv) 85.00 - 89.99 percent, 50 points; (v) 70.00 - 84.99 percent, 25 points; (vi) below 70.00 percent, zero points; (B) for alternative schools with students in grades 9 - 12, (i) 88.00 - 100 percent, 100 points;

(ii) four-year rate of 90.00 - 97.99 percent, or five-year rate of 93.00 - 97.99 percent, 95 points; (iii) four-year rate of 85.00 - 89.99 percent, or five-year rate of 89.00 - 92.99 percent, 90 points; (iv) four-year rate of 80.00 - 84.99 percent, or five-year rate of 85.00 - 88.99 percent, 70 points; (v) four-year rate of 70.00 - 79.99 percent, or five-year rate of 80.00 - 84.99 percent, 50 points; (vi) four-year rate of 60.00 - 69.99 percent, or five-year rate of 70.00 - 79.99 percent, 25 points; (vii) four-year rate of 50.00 - 59.99 percent, or five-year rate of 60.00 - 69.99 percent, 10 points;

if data are insufficient to make a graduation rate determination with a cohort of at least seven students over three consecutive years in either one but not both of the four-year or five-year cohorts, the department will award points based upon the four- or five-year cohort in which the graduation rate can be calculated with at least seven students; if data are insufficient to make a graduation rate determination with a cohort of at least seven students over three consecutive years in either the four- or five-year cohort, the graduation rate indicator and its weight in the overall Alaska school performance index score will be removed from the calculation;
