Executive Summary of 2009 DSTP Results
his document summarizes the results of the 2009 Delaware Student
Testing Program (DSTP) in reading, writing, and mathematics, and
the 2009 Delaware Alternate Portfolio Assessment (DAPA) in English
language arts and mathematics. The DSTP is a series of
standardized assessments. The DAPA is a portfolio that assesses
students with disabilities meeting the criteria in the Guidelines
for Inclusion of Students with Disabilities and English Language
Learners. Since 1998, the results of the operational reading,
writing, and mathematics DSTP assessments have been reported for
grades 3, 5, 8, and 10. In 2001, assessments in reading, writing,
and mathematics were piloted for grades 2, 4, 6, 7, and 9, and the
assessments in these grades have been operational since 2002. The
writing assessment was eliminated at grade 2 in 2006 and eliminated
at grades 3, 4, 6, 7, and 9 in 2009. The writing test was only
administered to students in grades 5, 8, and 10 in 2009. The
results from the 2009 administration of the Delaware Student
Testing Program (DSTP) and the 2009 Delaware Alternate Portfolio
Assessment (DAPA) represent an important step in Delaware’s efforts
to educate all students to a higher level. These results are part
of a long-term effort to gather data on our students’ educational
progress and to use the data to inform our decisions about
instruction. Studied over time, the data will help identify trends
and patterns that can be directly related to curriculum and
instruction, giving districts and schools additional
decision-making tools. Reading and mathematics data for grades 2
through 10 and writing data for grades 5, 8, and 10 are summarized
in this document. Grade 10 results include only the scores of
examinees who took the test for the first time. Science and social
studies data for grades 4, 6, 8, and 11 are published in separate
documents.
DSTP Results DSTP results are summarized at three levels: the
state level, the district level and the school level. If a district
or a school has fewer than 15 students in a given category (the
Standards-Based Score N or the Percentile Rank N is less than 15),
the number of students is reported, but the
T

summary statistics associated with those students are not.
Students are included in the Standards-Based Score N if their score
is considered to be aggregable1. The reading and mathematics data
are reported as National Percentile Rankings (NPRs),
Standards-Based Scores (SBSs), and Performance Levels (PLs).
Writing results are reported as SBSs and PLs. There are no NPRs for
writing. The NPRs come from the Stanford Achievement Tests Series,
Tenth Edition – Abbreviated Version (SAT10), a subset of items
embedded in the test. The SAT10 reading and mathematics tests are
commercially available tests that are given to students across the
country. NPRs tell us how well Delaware students perform compared
to students nationwide. NPRs are percentiles, numbers that tell the
percentage of students from the national sample that performed
below that score. Prior to 2005, the DSTP used the SAT9.
Comparisons of SAT9 NPR’s to SAT10 NPR’s are not appropriate or
meaningful comparisons due to the differences in the test and in
the national sample of students. The SBSs measure students’
progress toward Delaware standards in each content area. The SBSs
in reading and mathematics come from items developed in Delaware
and those NPR items that are directly related to Delaware content
standards. They are reported on a progressive scale that runs from
approximately 150 to 800. Students in the earlier grades should
tend to score towards the lower part of the scale, while students
in the higher grades should tend to score towards the higher part
of the scale. This type of score scale helps give us a sense of how
our students are progressing across the grade levels as well as
over time. The SBSs in writing come from items developed in
Delaware and are reported on a scale of 1-15 at each grade level.
PLs tell how students are performing relative to the state’s
content standards. Delaware has five performance levels for grades
3 through 10 and three levels for grade 2 as indicated below.
Percents of students in performance levels may not add up to
exactly 100%, due to rounding.
DAPA Results DAPA results are summarized at two levels: the
state level and the district level. This executive summary contains
the state level results. The accompanying summaries contain the
district level results. If a district has fewer than 15 students in
a given category, the number of students is reported, but the
summary statistics associated with those students are not. DAPA
scores are reported in Performance Levels.
Socio-Economic Status In the tables that report district and
school level DSTP results, the right-most column contains the
percentage of students in the school that are eligible for free and
reduced priced lunch (FRPL), which is often used in education
research as an indicator of socio-economic status.2
DSTP and DAPA Performance Levels Students who took the DSTP
receive a performance level in reading, mathematics, and writing.
Students who completed a DAPA portfolio receive a performance level
in English language arts and mathematics. Each DSTP performance
level is based on the student’s Standards-Based Score. For the
grade 2 DSTP, there are only three possible performance levels:

Inclusion of Students with Disabilities and English Language

database.

Cut Scores for the DSTP and DAPA Assessments DSTP In the summer
of 2005, a study was undertaken to revisit/review the performance
standards (cut scores) for the reading, writing, and mathematics
DSTP. In compliance with the federal requirements, the workshops
provided an opportunity to comprehensively review the DSTP
performance standards (cut scores) for all tested grades and
achieve consistency and coherency of cut scores for the statewide
assessment and accountability system. The Department of Education
convened a total of 137 participants grouped by content and grade
to join the July and August workshops. The panelists represented
all school districts throughout the state, some charter schools,
four local universities/colleges, and four educational/community
organizations. On October 20, 2005, the study recommendations3 were
presented to the State Board of Education. The State Board approved
the recommendations to adjust some performance standards or “cut
points” for reading, mathematics and writing at grades 3, 5, 8 and
10. The State Board also approved cut points that have been
established for the first time for grades 2, 4, 6, 7 and 9 in the
same content areas.

Page 18 March 2009 DSTP State Summary
Summary of Non-Aggregable Scores Aggregable and non-aggregable
scores are defined in the 2008-2009 Delaware Student Testing
Program Guidelines for the Inclusion of Students with Disabilities
and English Language Learners:
“A non-aggregable score results when an accommodation changes
the test construct (what the test is measuring) or modifies the
test in such a way, that the score can no longer be directly
compared to scores of students testing under standard conditions.”
(page 10) “An aggregable score results when a student takes the

Page 20 March 2009 DSTP State Summary
Participation Rates
goal of the DSTP and the DAPA is to have as many as possible of
Delaware’s public school students at each test grade participate.
To achieve this goal, participation guidelines for students with
disabilities and English language learner (ELL) students, and
procedures for granting special exemptions and invalidations
have been established by the Department of Education (DOE). In this
document, participation rates are summarized at the state level
only.
DSTP Eligible N. All students enrolled in a public school are
counted as eligible to take the DSTP unless they (1) participate in
the DAPA, or (2) were granted a Special Exemption. Eligible N is
the sum of “Tested N” and “Not Tested N.” Exempt N. Some students
were granted a special exemption from the DSTP due to physical or
mental conditions or reasons of an emergency nature, such as death
of a family member, accident, hospitalization, etc. Special
exemptions or invalidations were also granted for students who were
unable to complete all or part of the test due to conditions beyond
the student’s control that developed during the weeks of testing.
These students are counted in the “Exempt N” column. English
language learners who were enrolled in U.S. schools less than one
year are not required to participate in the reading or writing
assessments, per guidance from the U.S. Department of Education.
These English language learners were also included in “Exempt N”
for reading and writing. Tested N. “Tested N” is the number of
students who took the DSTP. Invalidations may have resulted due to
behavior caused by the student such as cheating, disruptive
behavior, refusal to test, etc. This type of invalidation resulted
in a performance level 1 for the content area(s) affected and the
student is counted in the “Tested N” column. Not Tested N. Students
are counted in the “Not Tested” column if they are eligible to take
the DSTP but are absent during the entire test week and the make-up
week that follows and were not granted a special exemption. %
Tested. The percent tested is calculated by dividing “Tested N” by
“Eligible N.” % Not Tested. The percent tested is calculated by
dividing “Not Tested N” by “Eligible N.”

DAPA Eligible N. A student is eligible to participate in the
Delaware Alternate Portfolio Assessment (DAPA) if he/she meets the
requirements in the Guidelines for Inclusion and the student’s IEP
calls for participation in the DAPA. If such a student is granted a
Special Exemption, he/she is excluded from counts of eligible
students. Eligible N is the sum of “Tested N” and “Not Tested N.”
Exempt N. Some students were granted a special exemption from the
DAPA due to physical or mental conditions or reasons of an
emergency nature, such as death of a family member, accident,
hospitalization, etc. Special exemptions were also granted for
students who were unable to complete all or part of the portfolio
due to conditions beyond the student’s control that developed
during the data collection period. These students are counted in
the “Exempt N” column. Tested N. “Tested N” is the number of
students who participated in the DAPA. Invalidations may have
resulted if the portfolio was missing a required component or at
least one of the scoring rules was not satisfied. This type of
invalidation resulted in a performance level 1 for the content
area(s) affected and the student is counted in the “Tested N”
column. Not Tested N. Students are counted in the “Not Tested”
column if they were eligible to participate in the DAPA but no
portfolio was submitted and the student was not granted a special
exemption. % Tested. The percent tested is calculated by dividing
“Tested N” by “Eligible N.” % Not Tested. The percent tested is
calculated by dividing “Not Tested N” by “Eligible N.”
