List of Current Low Performing Students

Improvement
Figuring out your current low-performing students just got easier!

Calculating your low-performing students (LPS) can be difficult - especially with your enrollment changing constantly! Equity Analytics does all the hard work for you - each night. You can view your LPS list by going to the "Current Low Performing Students" module on your Equity Analytics homepage whenever you need to look at it. Only teachers of math and ELA in 4th through 8th grade and English II and Algebra I teachers have access to this module because these are the only teachers with an LPS cohort.

This update also squashed a few bugs and includes graphical user interface updates to improve your experience, whether with a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or computer.

MAAP-A Scores

Improvement
Good news!

In line with the updates to the Mississippi Department of Education's Accountability Rules (pages 32, 35, 40), Equity Analytics is now equipped to handle storing and displaying your MAAP-A student's scores. District and School Users now have access to a module called "MAAP-A Student Overview". The purpose of this module is to allow you to see who your MAAP-A students are and their scores from the alternative MAAP assessment. This module will allow you granular access to your MAAP-A student achievement data to ensure you have the tools necessary to plan effectively.

Automated Rostering

Now, thanks to the major updated completed at the end of March - all rostering will be completed nightly at 12:30 am CST (5:30 am UTC). If you log in and see missing information, please contact your student information system (SIS) point-of-contact.

At a click of a button, you can see all students who do not meet full academic year status - or vice versa - you can see all students who do meet full academic year status. In addition, starting this year, students who do not meet full academic year status will not be counted in your projected accountability rating (district and schools only).

Historical Performance

New
New Feature Alert!

You can now see how your district, school, and teachers have performed over time. By navigating to the "historical performance" overview - you will be met with your impact data in graphical and tabular format. All graphs and tables are exportable as well.

Automatic Sign Out After 10 Minutes

Improvement
Equity Analytics takes data security seriously. After 10 minutes of inactivity - you will be redirected to the log-in page. This is to prevent any unwanted actors from gaining access to personal identifiable information (PII) without proper authentication into Equity Analytics.

Missing SLAIF Scores

Update
Good news! Districts and schools are able to view all students without prior year SLAIF scores. SLAIF stands for "student level accountability information file" - this is the file that is released each school year by the Mississippi Department of Education. When a student does not have a SLAIF score - they are not counted in the growth component.

Now, when viewing your assessment results all district and school users can choose the "MAAP Missing SLAIF Scores" score filter. This score filter provides you a list of students with missing SLAIF scores. These students can be exported in CSV and PDF.

Participation Rate

Improvement
Equity Analytics is going to start rolling out participation rates for districts, schools, and teachers. For each assessment administration, each district, school, and teacher will get a participation rate assigned starting with the 2021 - 2022 school year. If you are interesting in learning more about what the participate rate entails, click here to view the Mississippi Department of Education's (MDE) accountability rules located on page 32.
