Percentile/SFO Comparison Charts
The Problem
How does my school’s student
achievement score compare to other
schools, given that my school is “different”
to the average school?
The Previous Solution - LSGs
• “Like” school groups (LSG) commenced in
1996
• Created so schools could compare their
performance to “similar schools”
• 9 LSGs based on two measures;
– EMA/Youth Allowance: proportion of students in
school in receipt of EMA or Youth Allowance
– LBOTE: proportion of students from a language
background other than English

Proportion of LOTE speakers at home
• Good acceptance overall, but weaknesses are now apparent
• Weaknesses include:
— Schools close to a boundary (unfairly compared to all schools in LSG)
— EMA/Youth Allowance data no longer available
— LSGs are of unequal size (no. of schools in LSG4 is almost 10x that in LSG3)
Alternatives considered
1) Like School Sphere
– For each school, compare results to performance of 19
nearest schools (in terms of SFO and maybe LBOTE,
enrolment)
– Gets extremely complicated statistically
2) Percentile/SFO Comparison Charts
Student Family Occupation (SFO) densities
• Indicator of socio-economic status
• SFO accounts for 38% of variance in student
achievement
• LBOTE only accounts for an additional 5%
• Used in Student Resource Package
• 4 years of SFO data (2004-2007)

Value-add? No
• Not an attempt at value-add
• Simply is what it is
• If SFO was the sole determinant of student
achievement, a school’s student achievement
percentile would be within the “vicinity” of its
SFO percentile. If it’s above (or below), the
school could hypothesise why.
Percentile/SFO Comparison Charts
Principles behind
• Use Student Family Occupation (SFO) only as best
predictor of student achievement
• Examine student achievement and SFO percentiles
together
• Keep it simple
• Use lots of data, over time, across strands (don’t rely on
any one bit of data)
• Combine the data with the school context to get the full
story
