2016 STUDENT ASSESSMENT RESULTS PARCC BACKGROUND PARCC is New Mexico’s annual Math and English Language Arts assessment for all students in grades 3-11. PARCC is an important measure because it measures realworld skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, and reasoning. Last year’s PARCC results set a new proficiency baseline for New Mexico’s students that will be the starting point for measuring future growth. In order to be considered “proficient”, a student must earn a 4 or 5 on each assessment. PARCC results identify where a student is doing well or where they need more support. PARCC aligns to the content and skills students practice in their classrooms and schools every day and provides accurate information about how well students are meeting the expectations for their grade level. PARCC scores are intended to be used alongside other meaningful information, including a student's classroom performance, report card grades, and teacher observations, to give a more complete picture of student progress. 2016 PARCC Administration: 422,952 math and reading assessments were administered statewide in 2016 (compared to 404,431 in 2015). That’s approximately 217,000 students in Grades 3-11 who participated (compared to around 208,000 who took one or more PARCC tests in 2015). New Mexico had nearly 99% of participating students take the PARCC assessment on computer this year. Across New Mexico, approximately 97% of eligible students completed the annual assessment, compared to just over 95% last year.

OVERALL HIGHLIGHTS
New Mexico is rising: o Up 1.3 percentage points in proficiency across all grades in ELA, with 57 of 89 districts showing gains. o Up 2.5 percentage points in proficiency across all grades in Math, with 77 of 89 districts showing gains. MATH: more than 7,300 more students are on grade level compared to last year o 4,363 more Hispanic students are proficient in Math compared to last year o 5,020 more economically disadvantaged students are proficient in Math compared to last year. o Economically disadvantaged students matched statewide growth rates o Elementary math showed the most improvement, 4,000+ more students proficient. o Hispanic students showed positive gains in proficiency in all grades. ELA: More than 5,000 more students are on grade level compared to last year o 3,239 more Hispanic students are proficient in ELA compared to last year o 4,061 more economically disadvantaged students are proficient in ELA compared to last year. o American Indian students showed the highest rate of growth in reading o 8th grade ELA saw the greatest growth in proficiency. o Middle school reading showed more growth than ES or HS in proficiency. o 10th grade reading for American Indian students is up 5.5 percentage points. o 8th grade reading for Hispanic students is up 3.2 percentage points. o Economically disadvantaged students exceeded statewide growth rates New Mexico’s students made unprecedented progress in 19 of 21 tested areas in Math, Science, and English Language o STEM Investments are paying off: Increases in Math, 2.5 percentage points and Science, 2.7 percentage points show our students are demonstrating the benefits from an increased focus and investment in STEM. Schools that continue to embrace reform and new opportunities for kids are beginning to see success. o 84 low-performing schools, historically with Fs and Ds, have embraced reform and created a network of schools doubling and tripling state growth rates. In total, these schools serve approximately 19,000 students, equivalent to the third largest district in the state. o 83% of students in PPE schools are economically disadvantaged vs 71% statewide o 23% of students in PPE schools are Native American vs 11% statewide o 16% of students in PPE schools are English Language Learners vs 12% statewide o PPE schools increased Math proficiency by 4.24% vs state average of 2.5% o PPE schools increased ELA proficiency by 4.87% vs state average of 1.3%

PARCC PERFORMANCE LEVELS
PARCC includes 5 performance levels: 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. o Level 1: Did not yet meet expectations o Level 2: Partially met expectations o Level 3: Approached expectations o Level 4: Met expectations o Level 5: Exceeded expectations
A student earning a performance level of 4 or 5 on the PARCC assessment means the student meets or exceeds expectations for their grade level as determined by the New Mexico State Standards for all public school students.
For the first time in 2016, New Mexico can see how its students are progressing on PARCC over multiple years.
What was assessed? PARCC tests students in Math and English Language Arts (ELA): English Language Arts (ELA) - All students in grades 3-11 take the ELA assessment specific to their grade level. Math - Students in grades 3-7 take the math assessment specific to their grade. Math - For math grades 8-11, PARCC tests Grade 8 Math, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, and Integrated Math 1, 2, 3 in the year that the student was enrolled. o Note - 8th Graders: A number of high-performing 8th graders took the Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, or Integrated Math 1 assessment. Approximately 5,200 eighth gradersor about 21% of the 8th grade populationtook assessments for higher level math courses (including Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and Integrated Math 1) with almost 4,800 taking the PARCC Algebra I exam. As a group, eighth graders who took the Algebra I test outperformed all other high school students who took that exam. o Note - 9th Graders: Some high-performing 9th graders took the Algebra II test and also outperformed all other high school students who took that exam. th For 9 graders taking Algebra II test, performance was 51% proficient (compared to 15.7% overall). 5
SBA Science Background The Standards Based Assessment-Science (SBA-Science) is New Mexico’s annual science assessment for all students in grades 4, 7, and 11. In the 2016 SBA Science Administration, 71,109 students in grades 4, 7, and 11 took the SBA science tests.
