The final models at each level of HLM analysis are as follows: Level 1 model (same for both ELA and Math): Level 2 model: ELA: Math: Complete model: ELA: Math: 1 Included with the SIMS data was also data from BPS with date of entry to BPS, date of LEP and FLEP designation, and LEP status. 2 Where possible, we compared data received for this study to BPS data reports by MDESE. The proportion of LEP students scoring at each MEPA performance level is nearly identical when comparing data from MDESE (2009d) (23.6% at MEPA levels 1-2, 31.9% at MEPA level 3, 44.4% at MEPA levels 4-5) to the data received for this study (23.6% at MEPA levels 1-2, 32.0% at MEPA level 3, 44.4% at MEPA levels 4-5). MCAS and dropout comparisons are also presented in this appendix. 3 MDESE does not include middle school students in its reporting of annual dropout rates. The BPS Office of Research, Assessment & Evaluation (RAE) uses its own data and methodology (BPS, 2011) when reporting annual dropout rates. While, like MDESE, it adjusts for dropouts who have returned to school the following year, RAE does not include summer dropouts in its calculations. Therefore, it is likely that dropout rates reported for this study differ from dropout rates reported by RAE. 4 In this report, Fisher’s exact test was used when a chi-square test could not be run due to small sample sizes. There were few instances when this was necessary. 5 A dropout model was also developed, but the model did not converge. 120 Improving Educational Outcomes of English Language Learners in Schools and Programs in Boston Public Schools
