When appropriate, use negative numbers in the table. If you are reporting fewer students proficient or a lower proficiency rate in Year 2 than Year 1, your number for the Change / Improvement will be negative. You may show the Improvement / Change for metrics that begin with of students “Percentage who scored proficient” using one of two mathematical approaches (either of these is acceptable): To show the number of percentage points your proficiency rate increased / decreased from Year 1 to Year 2: STEP 1: Yr 2 Proficiency Rate Yr 1 Proficiency Rate = Percentage Point Change – (Example: 80% - 60% = 20 percentage points) To show the percentage increase/decrease from Year 1 to Year 2: STEP 1: Yr 2 Proficiency Rate Yr 1 Proficiency Rate = Percentage Point Change – (Example: 80% - 60% = 20 percentage points) STEP 2: Percentage Point Change / Year 1 (Example: 20/80 = 0.25) STEP 3: Multiply by 100 (Example: 0.25 x 100 = 25%)
