MCAS-Alt in grades 3 through 8 are assigned a scaled score and are included in school and subgroup achievement results according to the table below. : Next-Generation MCAS Achievement Levels and MCAS-Alt Scaled Scores Next-Generation Next-Generation MCAS MCAS-Alt MCAS-Alt MCAS Scaled Achievement Level Achievement Level Scaled Score Score Range Exceeding Expectations 530-560 Meeting Expectations 500-529 Progressing 500 Emerging 485 Partially Meeting Expectations 470-499 Awareness 470 Not Meeting Expectations 440-469 Portfolio Incomplete 455 For science, achievement is reported as the school or subgroup’s Composite Performance Index (CPI) on the legacy MCAS assessment. The CPI is a 100-point index that assigns 100, 75, 50, 25, or 0 points to each student participating in the legacy MCAS and MCAS-Alt tests based on their achievement. The CPI is a measure of the extent to which all students are progressing toward proficiency. When all students in a group score Proficient or Advanced, the group’s CPI will be 100. CPIs are generated at all levels state, district, school, and subgroup and include data for each – – student who was enrolled in the school as of October 1 of the same school year, with the exception of first-year ELs. The CPI is calculated by first multiplying the number of students at each MCAS and MCAS-Alt achievement level by the number of points corresponding to that level. The total points for each achievement level are then added together, and divided by the total number of students in the group. The result is a number between 0 and 100, which constitutes the CPI for that subject and group. The table below shows a sample CPI calculation for a group of 40 students.
