Advanced Courses
The
following courses/course codes have been designated “Advanced
Courses.” These are the
courses that are used to evaluate MSIP Performance Standard 9.4.1.
Basically, these courses are considered advanced because they are
over and above the courses required for graduation.
It is assumed that the content of the courses, in general, is at a
level suitable for juniors and seniors who are preparing for postsecondary
education or training.

In
addition to the advanced courses provided on site, advanced courses
provided off site will automatically be included in the calculation for
9.4.1 when the district submits a list of these courses (including course
numbers) on Core Data Screen 22. A
separate list must be submitted for each area institution that provides
advanced courses (area vocational schools, community colleges, four-year
colleges and universities, and electronic technology courses).
International Baccalaureate classes are included in the list of
advanced courses provided by the district or Core Data.
Advanced
Course Calculation (as used in the Annual Performance Report):
- For
each year of the five years ending with the previous year, multiply
the enrollment in each designated advanced course by the unit of
credit for this course reported in the October 1 Cycle of Core Data
and total these enrollment credits for each year.
- For
each corresponding year, multiply the number of class periods in a
school day (credits possible in a school day) by the total number of
juniors and seniors (11th and 12th grade
students) reported in the October 1 Core Data Cycle.
(If a school has an 8 or 10 block schedule, 8 or 10 would be
used as the number of periods in this calculation.)
- For
each corresponding year, divide the total of all advanced enrollment
credits available each year (Step 1 results) by the total number of
all enrollment credits available to juniors and seniors (Step 2
results).
Formula
for Calculating Percent of Advanced Enrollment Credits earned by Students
each year:
Total
Number of Advanced Enrollment Credits Per Year
| Number
of Class Periods in a School Day (or Number of Blocks in Block Schedule) |
x |
Number
of Juniors and Seniors
(reported each year in Oct. 1 Core Data Cycle) |
