Current year number of continuously enrolled students who took the Smarter Balanced summative assessment or the California Alternate Assessment in ELA plus the number of lowest obtainable scale scores added due to the school, district, or student group not meeting the federal 95% participation rate requirement. |
| 11 | currstatus | Current Status
Average Distance From Standard of continuously enrolled students who took the Smarter Balanced summative assessment or California Alternate Assessment in ELA (includes lowest obtainable scale scores added due to the school, district, or student group not meeting the federal 95% participation rate requirement). (Rounded to the nearest 0.1 after calculations. For further information regarding this data field refer to the California School Dashboard Technical Guide.) |
| 12 | priordenom | Prior Denominator
Prior year number of continuously enrolled students who took the Smarter Balanced summative assessment or the California Alternate Assessment in ELA plus the number of lowest obtainable scale scores added due to the school, district, or student group not meeting the federal 95% participation rate requirement. |
| 13 | priorstatus | Prior Status
Average Distance From Standard of continuously enrolled students who took the Smarter Balanced summative assessment or California Alternate Assessment in ELA (includes lowest obtainable scale scores added due to the school, district, or student group not meeting the federal 95% participation rate requirement). (Rounded to the nearest 0.1 after calculations. For further information regarding this data field refer to the California School Dashboard Technical Guide.) |

| 17 | color | Performance Level Color
|
| 18 | box | If a color was assigned, this value represents the specific 5x5 grid location
|
| 19 | currnsizemet | Current Year Denominator N-size Met
Schools and LEAs that had at least 30 students in the current status denominator have met the ‘N-size’ requirement and will receive a ‘Y’ (i.e., Yes) in this field. The ‘N-size’ of 30 is used to ensure that accountability results are statistically significant, valid, and reliable. Schools and LEAs with fewer than 30 students in the current status denominator will receive an ‘N’ (i.e., No) in this field. At the LEA level for the Foster, Homeless, and Long-Term English Learner student groups, a 'N-size' of at least 15 is required to receive a 'Y'. |
| 20 | priornsizemet | Prior Year Denominator N-size Met
Schools and LEAs that had at least 30 students in the prior status denominator have met the ‘N-size’ requirement and will receive a ‘Y’ (i.e., Yes) in this field. The ‘N-size’ of 30 is used to ensure that accountability results are statistically significant, valid, and reliable. Schools and LEAs with fewer than 30 students in the current status denominator will receive an ‘N’ (i.e., No) in this field. At the LEA level for the Foster, Homeless and Long-Term English Learner student groups, a 'N-size' of at least 15 is required to receive a 'Y'. |
| 21 | accountabilitymet | Indicates whether the school, district, or student group met the minimum n-size in both the current and prior year denominators to earn a Performance Level Color
