1. 2014-15 Assessment Results SMARTER BALANCED ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS AND MATHEMATICS

2. Smarter Balanced Assesses the Common Core content standards in English language arts (ELA) and Mathematics Includes both computer adaptive test items and performance tasks. Constructed response items better allow students to demonstrate their critical thinking and problem solving skills. Students are assigned performance levels of 1 to 4. Level 3 is designed to represent college and career readiness.

3. State Participation Rates The state as a whole met the 94.5% participation rate target for (ELA) and for mathematics. The Black/African American and Students with Disabilities student groups did not meet the target. High school rates were about 10% lower than usual. The state is working with districts to improve participation rates in 2015-16.

5. State Achievement on Smarter Balanced Overall the state did better than anticipated, based on the results from the 2013-14 field test. At most grade about 10% higher than the consortium field test. High school mathematics was the only point where we were lower than expectations. Percentage of students at Level 3/4 was higher for ELA than for mathematics, especially at high school. Data continue to show persistent achievement gaps between student groups.

10. Comparing State Data Many states in the consortium have reported state results on Smarter Balanced, including Washington, Idaho, and California. The data are not entirely comparable. State rules for including students in the calculation can vary. Some states gave paper-pencil, some were fully online, some delivered a mix. Data are for comparative purposes only and should not be inferred as a formal ranking of states, due to reporting rule differences.
