RI High School Diploma System Requirements
January 2013
Overview of the Diploma System Requirements
Class Requirements: 20 courses
Performance Assessments: Chosen by LEA
State Tests: Partial proficiency
The 2011 Secondary Regulations set up a multiple measures system that requires students to meet all of the measures in order to earn a RI HS Diploma. It is important to communicate to students and families that the NECAP assessments in Reading and Math are just one of those required measures.
RI 2011 Math NECAP Scores
The purpose of the progress plan and associated interventions are to move students from a score of 1 (substantially below proficient) to a level of proficiency that indicates progress.
State Assessment Opportunities and Alternatives
Junior Year: October NECAP
Senior Year: October NECAPDemonstrate Progress
Senior Year: Spring NECAP Modified Version
Senior Year: Approved Alternative Assessment
Accepted in Lieu of NECAP
*Senior Year: Option of additional time until proficient
for graduation
Progress planSummer math programs
virtual math program (VLMM)Parent engagement
Progress plan After school programs and tutoring

School support for alternative assessment completion
Provide additional support or alternative pathway for student to
continue toward high school diploma or other credentialing
System Level Safety Nets Student Level Supports
*Waiver Eligibility Considered with school documentation of medical illness or other rare instances of student inability to access standardized tests

According to the 2011 Secondary Regulations, students taking the NECAP for a second time are required to score partially proficient (2) or demonstrate progress. See Secondary Regulations Initial Guidance document, pages 13 and 14 of the guidance.
The chart below illustrates the difference between a student earning a 2 on the second administration of the NECAP test and a student demonstrating that they have made progress toward partial proficiency.
The question below represents the level of cognitive difficulty of the types of math problems that students must complete in order to demonstrate Partial Proficiency (level 2) or show progress toward proficiency.
In the graph on the previous slide, a student would have to successfully complete 6 -7 of this type of problem to reach the required level of progress.

Mount Hope High School | Bristol Warren
Intensified Algebra I Course
Double block Algebra I
class, supplemented
by online program
Written communication
with parents, students and
PD for teachers
Coursework throughout 9th
grade year
For 9th grade students only;
placement based on NECAP, NWEA
& teacher recommendation
Results: - Average student grade level
improvements = 2 grade levels
- 96 students enrolled at the beginning of the 2011-12 SY
- 84% completion rate for enrolled students
- For students who completed Intensified Algebra, 80% pass rate in College Prep Geometry

Coursework throughout 9th
grade year
For 9th grade students;
placement based on data review,
guidance input & teacher
recommendation
Results: - 70% completion rate for students completing the Algebra 1-Geometry-Algebra 2 sequence at a college prep level within 3 years- 43 students enrolled at the beginning of the 2011-12 SY - Of Algebra I failures in the 2011-12SY, 31% were Lab students vs. 69% non-Lab students.

Quarterly Benchmarks
For incoming 9th grade students;
participation encouraged based on at risk/ failing/ 8th grade NECAP score “1” status
Results: - 90 students
participating in 2011- 92 students
participating in 2012- Record low Algebra I
failure rate due to Math RTI, Summer Program and other initiatives
Other Interventions at NPHS: • Interim Assessments • Data Analysis• Piloting interactive content (iPads) in
Geometry and Algebra II • NECAP prep afterschool• Credit recovery program• Differentiated strategies
