Plainedge High School – New York State Reward School for High Achievement

Methodology:

• Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) – The school must have made AYP for all accountability subgroups for which the school was accountable for the 2013-14 and 2014-15 school years.

• Gap Closing – The closing of gap from 2013-14 to 2014-15 is measured between the subgroup students and students who are not members of the subgroup for English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Graduation Rate. The gap in performance between students who are members of an accountability subgroup and students who are not members of that accountability subgroup is determined for 2014-15 and 2013-14. For the subgroup(s) with the largest gap in 2014-15, the gap cannot increase by more than four points from 2013-14 to 2014-15.

• Performance Index (PI) – The school’s combined unweighted ELA and math PI must place the school in the top 20 percent of all schools with PIs at that level (elementary/middle or high school) in the State.

• Graduation Rate – a secondary school must have a 2010 4-Year cohort graduation rate that exceeds 80%, and the school must also exceed the state average for students graduating with either a Regents diploma with advanced designation or a Career and Technical Education (CTE) endorsement.

• Graduating At-Risk Students – the percentage of the students in the 2010 four year graduation cohort who scored Level 1 (L1) or Level 2 (L2) on an ELA or mathematics exam in Grade 8 and who subsequently graduated within four years of first entry in Grade 9 exceeded the State average for these students.

Washington Post’s Most Challenging High Schools

Plainedge High School placed in the top 9% of Public High Schools in 2016.

Methodology: America’s Most Challenging High Schools ranks schools through an index invented by Washington Post education columnist Jay Mathews. The index formula is a simple ratio: the number of Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate and Advanced International Certificate of Education tests given at a school in 2014, divided by the number of graduates that year.
