The department shall calculate English language proficiency rate goals and yearly targets for each public school as follows: (1) Based on the English language proficiency rate from the 2017-2018 school year, the department shall determine the fiftieth percentile school; (2) Determine the gain in the English language proficiency rate the school must achieve to reach the same English language proficiency rate as the fiftieth percentile school within five years. This is the school's English language proficiency rate progress goal; and (3) Divide the school's English language proficiency rate progress goal by five, rounding to the nearest hundredth. This is the school's annual target for increasing the percentage of students meeting the English language proficiency rate at the necessary rate to reach the same level as the fiftieth percentile school within five years. The department shall repeat these calculations for each public school. The minimum student group size of ten as referenced in § 24:55:07:05 applies for reporting purposes. For schools performing above the fiftieth percentile in the 2017-2018 school year, the department shall set annual targets to reach the level of the seventy-fifth percentile school by the 2024-2025 school year using the above methodology. For schools performing above the seventy-fifth percentile school in the 2017-2018 school year, the department shall set annual targets to result in one hundred percent of schools meeting the English language proficiency by the 2032-2033 school year. An example of this calculation is illustrated in Appendix C at the end of this chapter.
