Turning Sub-statement ratings into SOP ratings

Three sub-statements (A, B, C)

The ratings for the following statements are based on three sub-statements (a, b & c): 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 3.2,3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 4.2, 4.4, 4.5, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 6.2, 6.3

Schools will earn an individual rating for each of the sub-statements listed above. When the same rating is given for two or three sub-statements of practice, that rating will be given for that SOP(for example: H, H, & E = H or E, I & I =I). If a school receives three different ratings, that school shall receive the middle rating for its SOP (for example: E, I & D = D or H, E and D = E).

Two sub-statements (A & B)

The following statements are based on two sub-statements (a & b): 2.5, 4.3, 5.5, 6.4, 6.5

A school that has received the same rating in both sub-statements shall receive that rating. If the school receives two different contiguous ratings for each of the sub-statements, the school earns the lower of the ratings (for example, H & E = E or D & I = I). If the school receives two non-contiguous ratings, the school shall receive the rating in between these ratings (for example, H & D = E, E & I = D). If a school receives an H and an I, that school shall receive a D for that SOP.

Turning SOP ratings into Tenet ratings

The formula to determine the overall tenet ratings has been adjusted so that it is more intuitive and based on the ratings for each SOP. For example, a school that receives 3 D’s and one 1 E within a tenet, will always receive a D for that tenet.

The overall tenet rating shall be calculated in a manner that determines the average of the four SOP ratings. To calculate the average of the SOP ratings, use the following scale:

Highly Effective = 4Effective = 3Developing = 2Ineffective = 1

Identify the point value associated with each SOP rating, and then divide by 4. The resulting score shall be rounded to the nearest whole number to identify the Overall Tenet rating. For example:

SOP / SOP rating / Point Value
2.2 / H / 4
2.3 / E / 3
2.4 / D / 2
2.5 / H / 4
Overall SOP Total / 13
Average score (Divide by 4) / 3.25
The Overall Tenet 2 Rating = E

At times, the average of the overall tenet rating will be halfway in between two numbers, as shown below:

Example A / Example B
SOP / SOP rating / Point Value / SOP / SOP rating / Point Value
4.2 / E / 3 / 4.2 / E / 3
4.3 / E / 3 / 4.3 / E / 3
4.4 / I / 1 / 4.4 / D / 2
4.5 / E / 3 / 4.5 / D / 2
Overall SOP Total / 10 / Overall SOP Total / 10
Average score (Divide by 4) / 2.5 / Average score (Divide by 4) / 2.5

If the average is halfway in between two numbers, then the reviewer shall return to the sub-statementratings and provide a point value for each sub-statement rating. The reviewer must then calculate the average of all of the sub-statement ratings to determine the overall Tenet score. This step needs to occur ONLY when the average of the SOP ratings ends in .5 (1.5, 2.5, 3.5). An example of how to calculate the overall rating based on sub-statement ratings is shown on below:

Sub-statement / Sub-statement rating / Point Value
4.2a / E / 3
4.2b / H / 4
4.2c / D / 2
4.3a / E / 3
4.3b / E / 3
4.4a / I / 1
4.4b / D / 2
4.4c / D / 2
4.5a / D / 2
4.5b / D / 2
4.5c / E / 3
Overall SOP Total / 27
Average score (Divide by 11 sub-statement ratings) / 2.45
Overall Tenet 4 rating / D

If the average of the SOP ratings is halfway in between two numbers (1.5, 2.5, or 3.5) and the average of the sub-statement ratings for that tenet is also halfway in between two numbers, then the sub-statement average should be rounded down, and the overall tenet rating will be the lower of the two scores.

Scoring Guide Quick Reference Chart

The following are all of the possible combinations that a school can receive for their 4 SOP ratings (in any order). The column to the right of the SOP scores indicates the Overall Tenet Rating when that combination of SOP ratings occurs. In cases where the average is between two numbers, the reviewer must consult the sub-statement ratings. / SOP scores (any order) / Corresponding Tenet Score / SOP scores (any order) / Corresponding Tenet Score / SOP Scores / Corresponding Tenet Score
