2019 Five-by-Five Colored Tables

The accountability system combines five Status and Change levels creating a five-by-five color placement grid that produces twenty-five results for the 2019 Dashboard

Performance on the state measures is calculated based on data from current and prior years resulting in five color-coded performance levels for each indicator. From highest to lowest the performance levels are: Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Red.

The five color-coded performance levels are calculated using percentiles to create a five-by-five colored table (giving 25 results) that combine data from the current and prior years.

This document provides the five-by-five colored table for each of the state measures:

English Learner Progress Indicator

California has transitioned to a new English proficiency assessment: the English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC). Because this indicator reflects how English Learners’ are progressing in acquiring English language proficiency, at least two years of ELPAC data are need to calculate Status and at least three years of ELPAC data are needed to calculate Change. Because only two years of ELPAC data are now available, only Status will be reported for the 2019 Dashboard.
