Stability of School-Building Accountability Scores and Gains.
Linn, Robert L.; Haug, Carolyn
Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, v24 n1 p29-36 Spr 2002
Studied the stability of accountability scores and gains for schools using fourth-grade reading results for schools (samples from 757 to 802 schools) in Colorado for 4 years of administration of the Colorado Student Assessment Program. Year-to-year changes were found to be quite unstable, resulting in a near zero correlation of the school gains from year 1 to year 2 with those from years 3 and 4. (SLD)
