REMARKS FROM OUR DIRECTOR

Greetings, Over the last 18 years, the Office of Charter Schools (OCS) at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has been committed to increasing the number of high performing educational options in Milwaukee by chartering innovative and successful schools.

The belief that all students deserve access to a quality education drives the work of the OCS, which continues its tradition of excellence in the selection, monitoring and evaluation of its authorized charter schools.

During the 2016-17 school year, OCS embarked upon a strategic planning process focusing on its future direction and engaging stakeholders in the management of a proactive transition from the present to preferred states of mission success. The strategic planning resulted in the following mission statement.

The mission of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Office of Charter Schools, in partnership with the greater community, is to provide exceptional educational options for urban families by authorizing high performing public charter schools.

Further advancement of the OCS mission is focused by the following goals.

1. OCS will demonstrate inclusive partnership with UWM and the greater community as compelled by the educational needs of urban students 2. Schools in the OCS portfolio will meet or exceed standards associated with high quality educational programs as defined by the OCS performance framework and/or negotiated standards specific to the school’s unique mission The OCS performance framework is the foundation for which UWM authorized charter schools are evaluated and in turn will determine if the OCS is achieving its goals and overall mission.

In this 15th Annual Report, there is evidence that the mission is being accomplished in varying degrees as showcased by the academic, financial and organizational performance of the UWM authorized charter schools. However encouraging, there is still work to be done to ensure all current and prospective schools continue providing an exemplary education for each student so they are able to reach their full potential in school and life. It is with that thought in mind that we eagerly forge forward!

Sincerely,

Adrienne L. Woods Director, Office of Charter Schools

OFFICE OF CHARTER SCHOOLS RESPONSIBILITIES

OCS Responsibilities Review Applications – Charter Independent Public Schools The Application Review Committee, utilizing established criteria, has the responsibility for reviewing charter school applications in order to select those organizations that have the greatest likelihood of developing charter schools that: 1. foster high student achievement, 2. meet the educational needs of students, 3. address the expectations and preferences of students, parents, and other stakeholders, 4. are financially sound, 5. effectively market the school, 6. address the needs, expectations, satisfaction, and development of the faculty and staff, and 7. exhibit overall organizational effectiveness.

Monitor Established Public Charter Schools Established charter schools are monitored on a regular basis through site visits and data analysis. Established charter schools must submit annual improvement goals and take concerted action to achieve these goals. At the close of the fiscal year, each school reports on results of their actions on each of their goals. In addition, the University of WisconsinMilwaukee Office of Charter Schools has developed a comprehensive Performance Framework to ensure that all charter schools authorized by the University are providing their students with a high-quality public education. This Performance Framework is the accountability mechanism that sets the academic, fiscal, and organizational standards by which all UW-Milwaukee authorized charter schools are evaluated. The Performance Framework was implemented during the 2016-17; therefore, this report contains detail on each specific indicator within the Framework. The Office will annually provide a report to each school including its Performance Framework results.

Evaluate Established Public Charter Schools During the first semester of the last year of the charter, each charter school is formally evaluated by the Charter School Evaluation Committee. The Performance Framework results form the foundation for making the baseline renewal term recommendation for each school to the Evaluation Committee. The Evaluation Committee considers that recommendation along with the renewal application and site visit in making their charter renewal term or nonrenewal recommendation. The site visit includes interviews with the administrator, board, teachers, students, and parents, as well as classroom observations.

12 ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

Student Achievement Results

The Forward Exam was administered through the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction to students in grades 3 through 8 in the Spring. The examination determines the proficiency level (below basic, basic, proficient, and advanced) of students in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. The Forward Exam is a static measure in that it provides information regarding student performance on a single test at a specific time of the school year. A very small percentage of students with severe cognitive disabilities take the Dynamic Learning Map (DLM) assessments instead of the Forward Exam. The DLM assessment scores are also categorized into proficiency levels, so the results from both assessments can be combined.

The following graphs and text display the achievement of 80% school students on the Forward assessment UWM charter given to students statewide in grades 3 through 8 and the ACT assessment given to students statewide in grade 11.

60% The proficiency of all UWM charter school students as compared to all students in MPS and the state for the same grades in 2016-17 on the Forward Exam is shown in Figures 40% 1 and 2 below. In both ELA and Mathematics, fewer UWM charter school students scored proficient or advanced than students statewide at all grade levels. However, in both 20% ELA and Mathematics, UWM charter schools had a higher percentage of students scoring proficient and advanced than MPS at all grade levels.

The ACT was also given statewide through the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction to all students in 11th grade in the Spring. Students were tested in English, Mathematics, Reading, Writing, and Science. The Wisconsin Department Public Instruction developed a method to ALL UWMof CHARTERS categorize scores into proficiency levels as well. In ForwardACT Exam ELA Results addition, the DPI combines each student’s English, Reading, and Writing 100%scores into one English Language Arts (ELA) score.

The single most important criterion for charter renewal is the academic achievement of the students. The Office of Charter Schools measures student achievement in a variety of ways. Measures include the Forward Exam, ACT and ACT Aspire, the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessment developed by the Northwest Evaluation Association, tests specific to individual schools, and annual parent, student, and staff surveys.

MATH

STUDENT GROWTH RESULTS

When looking at all subject areas combined from Fall 2016 to Spring 2017, the median conditional growth percentile for UWM charter school students equaled the 54th percentile. The Mathematics (57) and Reading (55) median growth percentiles were above the overall UWM growth median, while both Language Usage (53) and Science (45) were below. However, Mathematics, Reading, and Language Usage at UWM charter schools were all above the national norms.

ABOVE AVERAGE ABOVE PERCENTILE

In addition to achievement results, it is also important to look at the academic growth of students in the UWM charter schools. All of the UWM charter schools administer the NWEA MAP assessment in Reading and Math in the Fall and the Spring. Some schools also choose to administer the MAP Language Usage and Science assessments. NWEA conducted a norm study in 2015 to determine Fall to Spring growth norms for each student based on their grade level and Fall MAP score. Using these norms, it is possible to look at the conditional growth percentile for each student in each subject area.
