Postsecondary and Workforce Readiness

The performance framework is built around a range of student outcome measures organized beneath three performance indicators: Academic Achievement, Academic Growth, and Postsecondary and Workforce Readiness. For the Post-Secondary and Workforce Readiness (PWR) performance indicator, the framework assigns ratings based on graduation rates, dropout rates, matriculation rates, and 11th grade results on the Colorado SAT and DLM assessments.

The displays reflect PWR performance indicator ratings. The bar colors indicate the assigned rating for each group that is reported within the overall sub indicators.

The 2016 framework assigns ratings to average composite scores for districts and schools based on how they rank relative to statewide outcomes. Based on these ratings, each district or school then accumulates points toward its overall Postsecondary & Workforce Readiness rating. Points are earned in proportion to the level of the rating for each individual metric, so that higher ratings equated to larger point totals for the indicator overall. The tables below show how ratings and point values are assigned to Colorado ACT metrics for the 2016 performance framework.

Rating	Average Composite Score Range*	Percentile Rank Range	Subgroups: Points Earned / Points Eligible
Exceeds	22.0-36.0	85-99	4/4
Meets	20.0-21.9	50-84	3/4
Approaching	17.0-19.9	15-49	2/4
Does Not Meet	1.0-16.9	1-14	1/4

*Average composite sscores are only reported and used in the performance framework when results are available for at least 16 students.

Free/Reduced-Price Lunch Eligible Students - These mean scale score calculations represent results for students who are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Minority Students - These mean scale score calculations represent results for students with racial or ethnic backgrounds other than White.

Multilingual Learners - These mean scale score calculations represent results for students who speak English as a second language and receive English Language instructional services.

Students with Disabilities - These mean scale score calculations represent results for students who receive services under an Individualized Education Program (IEP).

The framework assigns a rating to each mean scale score metric based on how it ranks relative to statewide outcomes. Based on these ratings, each district or school accumulates points toward its overall Postsecondary & Workforce Readiness rating. Points are earned in proportion to the level of the rating for each individual metric, so that higher ratings equated to larger point totals for the indicator overall. Mean scale score cut-points are determined through periodic analysis of state-wide trend data. The tables below show the cut-points used to assign ratings to SAT Evidence-Based Reading & Writing scores within the performance framework. The first table shows the cut-points that were used to determine ratings on the 2019 framework. The second table shows the cut-points used for the 2017 & 2018 framework.

The framework assigns ratings to dropout rate metrics based on how each rate ranks relative to statewide outcomes.

Points are earned in proportion to the level of the rating for each individual metric, so that higher ratings equated to larger point totals for the indicator overall. Dropout rate cut-points are determined through periodic analysis of state-wide trend data.

*Due to data collection timelines, dropout rates reported in the performance framework are one year in arrears.

PWR metrics are only reported at the high school level. However, the dropout rate calculations used for district performance frameworks do include 7th and 8th grade students. The dropout rates used for the school performance framework only include students in grades 9 through 12.

The performance framework is built around a range of student outcome measures associated with three key performance indicators: Academic Achievement, Academic Growth, and Postsecondary & Workforce Readiness (PWR). For the Postsecondary & Workforce Readiness indicator, the framework assigns ratings based on graduation rates, dropout rates, matriculation rates, and results on the Colorado SAT. Matriculation rates represent the percentage of high school graduates who enroll in a career and technical education program, community college, or four-year institution of higher education or enlist in the military in the fall immediately following graduation. Matriculation rates follow a different pattern for disaggregated reporting. Rather than being based on demographic characteristics, matriculation rates are broken down by CTE, 2-year, 4-year institutes and military enlistment. Only overall matriculation rates factor into framework ratings.

The framework assigns ratings to matriculation rate metrics based on how each rate ranks relative to statewide outcomes. Based on these ratings, each district or school accumulates points toward its overall Postsecondary & Workforce Readiness rating. Points are earned in proportion to the level of the rating for each individual metric, so that higher ratings equated to larger point totals for the indicator overall. Matriculation rate cut-points are determined through periodic analysis of state-wide trend data. The table below shows the cut-points used to assign ratings to matriculation rates within the performance framework.

Rating	Scale Score Range* High	Percentile Rank Range	All Students: Point Values	Disaggregated Groups Point Values
Exceeds	73.1% - 100%	85-99	8/8	NA
Meets	59.3% - 73.09%	50-84	6/8	NA
Approaching	41.1% - 59.29%	15-49	4/8	NA
Does Not Meet	0% - 41.09%	1-14	2/8	NA

*Due to data collection timelines, matriculation rates reported in the performance framework are one year in arrears.
