I. Value-Added Models

Changes from Models Estimated in Prior Years
In previous years a value-added model of the following form was used to estimate school effects:

= -1 + 2 + +

(1)

where Aist represents the achievement level of student i in school s at time t, - is a vector of prior test scores, is a vector of student characteristics, is a school fixed effect, and is a random error term. One can view the school fixed effect as the difference between a student's actual test score () and the score a student would be expected to earn based on his/her individual characteristics and past history of test scores (-1 + 2), averaged over all students at a school. By construction, the average school has a fixed effect of zero and the performance of all other schools is measured relative to this average. Thus, a positive estimated value for a school's fixed effect indicates that it increases student achievement more than the average school, while a negative value indicates it is less effective than the average school. The model is called a "one-step VAM" by Ehlert et al. (2016), as the estimates of the influences of student characteristics and schools on student test scores are simultaneously estimated.
In 2016, the Governor's Office of Student Achievement (GOSA) and the State Charter Schools Commission (SCSC) sought feedback to strengthen the value-added methodology. One of the recommendations was the addition of school-level variables to control for the general school context rather than just individual-level student characteristics. In order to incorporate schoollevel student characteristics, the "two-step VAM" developed by Ehlert et al. (2016) was estimated. In the first stage, individual current-year student test scores are estimated as a function of individual-level prior-year test scores, individual student characteristics and school-level demographics (e.g. percent of students with disabilities or percent of students with limited English proficiency):

= -1 + 2 + 3 +

(2)

where school-level student characteristics are represented by the vector Zst. In the one-step VAM without any school-level characteristics (equation (1)), the implicit assumption is that a student would be expected to perform the same in a school serving only students from low-income households as in a school serving only students from relatively affluent families. Any deviations from expected performance are attributed to differences in school quality. In the two-step VAM, the expected performance of a student depends on both their own characteristics and the average characteristics of the student body in the school they attend. Because school indicators would be collinear with school-level characteristics, a second step is required to generate the school value-added estimates. The difference between the estimated performance (-1 + 2 + 3) and actual performance () of each student that is generated in the first stage, , is regressed on a set of school indicators in the second stage:

= +

(3)

4

Georgia Commission Chartered Schools Evaluation, 2015-2016 Technical Appendix
The estimated effect for each school, , is essentially just the weighted average difference between actual and predicted scores from the first stage, where the weights are the number of students in each school. Because the first stage nets out the impact of school environment, the school value-added estimates generated in the second stage represent the performance of a school relative to other schools with similar-looking student bodies.
At the request of GOSA, a comparison of the estimates from the two-step and one-step value-added models was conducted using data from the 2014/15 school year. After examining the impact analysis comparing the two methods, GOSA recommended and SCSC approved the use of the two-step approach with the inclusion of three school-level percentage variables in the first stage: the percent of Limited English Proficiency (LEP) students, Students with Disabilities (SWD), and economically disadvantaged (ED) students. For ED, the decision was made to use school-level direct certification instead of aggregating data from individual-level free/reduced price lunch (FRL) status because of the recent expansion of the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) of the National School Lunch Program, which allowed many schools to report 100 percent FRL even if their actual FRL percentage is well below that amount. Direct certification includes students who are members of households receiving assistance under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, or who are identified as foster, migrant, or homeless. While direct certification identifies fewer economically disadvantaged students than free/reduced price lunch because the poverty thresholds are lower, it compares all schools equally regardless of CEP participation. There was also discussion about whether the model should exclude individual-level FRL due to the same data limitations. Individual-level direct certification is not available due to limits in current data sharing agreements with the Department of Human Services. Thus, the decision was made to keep individual-level FRL in the model so that there would still be a control for individual-level student poverty. In future years, if individual-level direct certification becomes available, it will replace individual-level FRL in the model.
Another concern that arose was the increasing incidence of students taking end-of-course (EOC) exams while in middle school. In 2015/16, the two subjects with substantial EOC test taking in middle school were Coordinate Algebra and Physical Science. Overall, 27.3 percent of Physical Science exam takers and 10.1 percent of Coordinate Algebra exam takers were in middle grades.1 According to the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) web site, middle school students taking EOC tests are exempted from taking end-of-grade (EOG) exams in math and science, "If enrolled in a mathematics and/or science EOC course, these middle school students will not take the corresponding content area end-of-grade (EOG) measure." (http://www.gadoe.org/ Curriculum-Instruction-and-Assessment/Assessment/Pages/GeorgiaMilestones-Assessment-System.aspx). The incidence of EOC test-taking and the GaDOE policy on exemptions from EOG exams creates potential biases at both the middle and high school level. If higher achieving students are more likely to take EOC exams in middle school, this would create a downward bias in the EOG testing pool in middle grades for math and science. Similarly, it would create a downward bias in the testing pool for EOC exams at the high school level.
1 The only other subject with non-trivial EOC exam taking in middle school is Ninth Grade Literature, with 2.9 percent of students taking the exam in grades 7 or 8. However, there is no policy in place to exempt students who take the ninth grade literature exam in middle school from taking end-of-grade exams.
5

Georgia Commission Chartered Schools Evaluation, 2015-2016 Technical Appendix
To address these concerns, a control for the percentage of middle school students in each school taking any math EOC test was added to the first stage of the two-step VAM when estimating school effects for middle school math EOG scores. For the estimation of school effects in middle school science, the percentage of middle school students taking Physical Science EOC exams was included as a school-level control. For each of the EOC exams at the high school level, the value-added model included a control for the percentage of students in the high school who ever took a relevant EOC while they were in middle school. For the purpose of constructing the EOC-in-middle-school variable, the high school for each student was determined by the school they attended the longest in the given academic year. The "relevant" exams are the same exam for all subjects except math, where the relevant exam is any math EOC due to changes in the math EOCs over the past few years.
In addition to the inclusion of school-level controls, GOSA received suggestions to expand the set of individual-level student characteristics to better account for differences in performance that may arise in schools serving atypical student populations. After exploring the feasibility of various student-level measures, GOSA recommended and SCSC approved the inclusion of two new individual-level student controls in the first stage of the two-step model. One is an indicator for late enrollees, which are students whose first public school enrollment date in a school year is at least two weeks after the starting date for their school of longest enrollment. The other is an indicator for students who withdrew from school in the past under certain circumstances, i.e. who withdrew under one of the following exit codes: expelled, financial hardship/job, incarcerated, removed for lack of attendance, serious illness, pregnancy, court/legal, transferred to DJJ, or USCO.2
The other significant difference from prior years was a change in the way in which students were assigned to particular schools when estimating the value-added model. In the past, enrollment records were employed to determine the school of longest enrollment for each student and, then if the length of enrollment at that school met the full-academic-year (FAY) standard for Georgia's College and Career Readiness Performance Index (CCRPI), the student was assigned to that school for the purpose of calculating school value-added. In a relatively small number of cases, these assignments were not the same as the assignments that resulted from GaDOE's internal calculations for the College and Career Ready Performance Index. To avoid any inconsistencies, the school assignments, as determined by GaDOE in its student growth percentile calculations, were used to assign students for the purposes of calculating school value added. It should be noted that these school assignments are course specific at the high school level; in rare circumstances, a student could be assigned to one school for a particular EOC exam and be assigned to another school for a different EOC exam.
Given these substantial changes to the value-added methodology for 2015/16, revised estimates for years 2014/15 and 2013/14 were produced using the new methodology. The yearto-year comparisons in the main report are based on a common methodology for all three years and, thus, the results for 2013/14 and 2014/15 do not correspond to the estimates reported in previous annual reports.3
2 The analysis dataset includes enrollment information for the 2010/11 through 2015/16 school years. Therefore, in 2015/16 the measure of prior withdrawals for specified reasons covers the five previous school years. For 2014/15 four prior years are covered and for 2013/14 three prior years are included. 3 There are some minor differences in the model specifications over time due to data availability issues. School-level direct certification data is only available for 2014/15 and 2015/16, so school-level FRL

Initial Reporting Issues
When modifying the computer code to operationalize the two-step model for 2015/16, three parts of code that were in the one-step versus two-step exploratory analysis, but which were not supposed to be part of final methodology, were inadvertently kept in the code, as follows:
Individual-level FRL was excluded, School-level race/ethnicity was included, and School-level variables were calculated as percentages by grade level rather than grade
cluster (e.g., for the 7th grade EOG assessment, the model included the percent of 7th grade students with disabilities rather than the percent of students in grades 6-8 with disabilities in the school). The results presented at the March 29, 2017, SCSC meeting were from the value-added analysis that had these inadvertent discrepancies. Once this error was discovered, the SCSC and GOSA requested that the analysis be redone, with the three issues outlined above fixed so that the value-added analysis would align with the agreed upon methodology. The results presented in the full report and this appendix reflect the corrected results. The revised results did not change any school's summative determination for the valueadded impact score in the SCSC Comprehensive Performance Framework. Only one school had an all-subject score designation change compared to its attendance zone.4 Since the school was already not outperforming its attendance zone in the other grade bands it serves, its overall evaluation status did not change.
Alternative Specifications
As in past years, three versions of the two-step value-added model were estimated. The first employed all available student characteristics in the vector X. Estimates from this model are presented in the main report. The second removed indicators for student racial/ethnic categories. The third eliminated the X vector entirely and only included the vector of prior test scores. Each of the three value-added models was applied to samples representing four Milestones EOG assessments at the elementary level, four Milestones EOG assessments at the middle school level and each of the Milestones EOC exams at the high school level. Estimates for the various model/sample combinations are provided below.
(aggregated from individual-level student data) is used instead for 2013/14. Official subject-specific FAY designations are only available for 2015/16, therefore, for 2013/14 and 2014/15 enrollment is calculated for each school attended and if enrollment at the school attended the longest exceeds the 65% FAY standard, a student is assigned to that school for the purpose of calculating school value added. 4 Ivy Prep at Kirkwood for Girls' middle school all-subject average changed from being statistically higher than its district to no difference. Their elementary all-subject score was below the district in both models.

II. School Effect Estimates Based on Alternative Value-Added Models and School-Level Growth Percentiles Based on Alternative Measures and Samples
All of the value-added school effects in the main report are based on estimates from the full value-added model that includes all available demographic controls. The following charts and tables report estimates based on the two alternative specifications of the value-added model, one that excludes indicators for race and ethnicity and one that eliminates all demographic variables (and thus only includes lagged test scores).
The school-level student growth measures in the main report are averages of the individual student growth percentiles for students attending a given school. They are based on the full sample of students with SGP information. Results using two alternative school-level growth measures are presented below. The first uses school average SGPs, but only includes students included in the full value added model estimation. This excludes, for example, students with missing demographic information. The second alternative employs this same sample, but uses the school-level median SGP, rather than the mean.
