How does your school stack up?

1 How does your school stack up? Important Notes to the Rankings In this table, schools are ranked (on the left hand side of the page) in descending order (from 1 to 942) according to their academic performance as measured by the Overall rating (shown on the right hand side of the table) for the school year 2016/2017. Each school Äôs five-year average ranking and Overall rating are also listed. The higher the Overall school rating (out of 10), the higher the rank awarded to the school. Where schools tied in the Overall rating, they were awarded the same rank. Where fewer than five years of data were available n/a appears in the table. Not all the province Äôs elementary schools are included in the tables or the ranking. Of all the schools in the province reporting FSA results, 946 are included in this Report Card. Included are schools that enrolled at least 10 students in both grade 4 and grade 7. Also included are eligible schools (noted in this table with a double dagger) whose students advanced to a middle school after grade 5 or grade 6 (see Key academic indicators of school performance section in the text). Excluded are those schools that did not generate a sufficiently large set of student data to enable the calculation of an Overall school rating for the school year 2016/2017. The exclusion of a school from the Report Card should in no way be construed as a judgement of the school s effectiveness. IMPORTANT: In order to get the most from the Report Card, readers should consult the complete table of results for each school of interest. By considering several years of results rather than just a school s rank in the most recent year readers can get a better idea of how the school is likely to perform in the future. 1 1 Cedardale West Vancouver Crofton House Vancouver Diamond Surrey Holy Cross Burnaby Our Lady Of Mercy Burnaby Southridge Surrey St George's Vancouver Vancouver College Vancouver West Point Grey Vancouver York House Vancouver p Corpus Christi Vancouver p Meadowridge Maple Ridge Our Lady Of Perpetual Help Vancouver Our Lady Of Sorrows Vancouver West Bay West Vancouver St Paul's Richmond St Augustine's Vancouver p St John's Vancouver St Edmund's North Vancouver Surrey Muslim Surrey n/a n/a Cornerstone Montessori Surrey 10.0 n/a Westcot West Vancouver St Michaels Victoria p Caulfeild West Vancouver p Ridgeview West Vancouver St Francis of Assisi Vancouver St Anthony Of Padua Vancouver Mulgrave West Vancouver St Pius X North Vancouver q Collingwood West Vancouver

11 Appendix: Calculating the Overall rating out of 10 The Overall rating out of 10 is intended to answer the question, In general, how is the school doing academically compared to other schools in the Report Card? The following is a simplified description of the procedure used to convert the data received from the ministry of education into the Overall rating. 1 Subject by subject, the average scaled Foundation Skills Assessments (FSA) test scores for each school were standardized by calculating Z, which is defined by: Z = (X µ) / σ where X is the individual school s result, µ is the mean of the all-schools distribution of results, and σ is the standard deviation of the same all-schools distribution. 2 These six standardized scores were then combined and re-standardized. 3 The gender gap scores in grade-7 reading and grade-7 numeracy were each determined by calculating the absolute value of the difference between the average score for girls and the average score for boys. The results for each subject were then standardized as were the Below expectations and Tests not written values. 4 The five resulting standardized scores were then combined to produce a weighted average summary standardized score for the school. The weights used in making this calculation were: average scores for the six tests combined 45%; gender-gap scores for each of the grade-7 reading and grade-7 numeracy tests 10%; Tests not written 10%; and, percentage of tests Below expectations 25%. For schools for which there were no gender-gap results, the combined average scores for the six tests was given a weight of 45%; Tests not written was weighted at 20%; and the percentage of tests Below expectations was weighted at 35%. 5 This summary standardized score was re-standardized. This standardized score was converted into an overall rating between 0 and 10 as follows: 6 The allowable maximum and minimum standardized scores were set at 2.2 and 3.29 respectively. Scores equal to, or greater than, 2.2 receive an overall rating of 10. This cut-off was chosen because it allows more than one school in a given year to be awarded 10 out of 10. Scores of equal to, or less than, 3.29 receive the lowest overall rating of 0. Schools with scores below 3.29 are likely to be outliers, a statistical term used to denote members of a population that appear to have characteristics substantially different from the rest of the population. We chose, therefore, to set the minimum score so as to disregard such extreme differences. 92

12 Fraser Institute Studies in Education Policy 93 7 The resulting standardized scores were converted into overall ratings according to the formula: OR = µ +(σ * StanScore) where OR is the resulting Overall rating, µ is the average calculated according to the formula: µ = (OR min 10 (Z min / Z max )) / (1 (Z min / Z max )) where σ is the standard deviation calculated according to the formula: σ = (10 µ) / Z max and StanScore is the standardized score calculated in (4) above and adjusted as required for minimum and maximum values as noted in (6) above. As noted in (6) above, OR min equals zero, Z min equals 3.29; and Z max equals Finally, the derived overall rating is rounded to one place of the decimal to reflect the significant number of places of the decimal in the original raw data. Note that the Overall rating out of 10, based as it is on standardized scores, is a relative rating. That is, in order for a school to show improvement in its overall rating, it must improve more than the average. If it improves, but to an extent less than the average, it will show a decline in its rating.
