What determines who is a continuously enrolled student?
A student is “continuously enrolled” if he/she has no break in enrollment greater than 30 calendar days, between October 1 through the test administration period. Results of students who are not continuously enrolled are not included in the reading and math proficiency groups but are included in the participation and other indicator calculations. Before 2009, continuously enrolled has been calculated at a student level, regardless of content areas. Otherwise stated, a student was considered “continuously enrolled” if he/she had no break in enrollment greater than 30 calendar days, between October 1 through the entire test administration period (reading and math). This has worked well for grades 3-8 because districts have latitude in when tests are administered and both content areas are given within a relatively short window, however it is more problematic to use the end of the entire window for Reading and Math (April) for determining CE for both content areas for high school students
