Now, students meet growth if their scores improve from one proficiency level to the next, or move sufficiently within the lower proficiency levels.<\/li>\n<li>The previous system included a \u201ccompletion index\u201d for the 12thgrade score, which gave schools partial credit for GED completers and other types of non-traditional diplomas. These students do not accumulate credit in the new system, per state statute. The federally approved 4-year graduation rate is now used.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Waiver Grades<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The 2013-14 year is considered a transitional year for letter grades because it is the first academic year that schools were expected to fully implement Mississippi\u2019s college- and career-ready standards. Because of this transition, the U.S. Department of Education granted Mississippi a one-year waiver from school letter grades for the 2013-14 school year. The waiver allows a school to retain the letter grade it received in the 2012-13 school year if the 2013-14 grade is lower as a result of assessment results.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Accountability Results: Based on 2013-2014 School Year<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"\/sites\/default\/files\/Offices\/MDE\/OEA\/OPR\/2014\/2014%20MSAS%20Summary%20Tables.pdf\"><span>Summary Statewide Accountability Results <\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/sites\/default\/files\/Offices\/MDE\/OEA\/OPR\/2014\/2014%20Accountability%20District%20and%20School%20Results%20File.xlsx\">District and School-Level Results File<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Mississippi Statewide Accountability System rates schools and school districts with the letter grades A, B, C, D, and F.
