Release 2024.7.0
An update was made to Table 4A as part of Release 2023.7.0 on 6/28/2024 to include rows for:
Alternative ABE Placement
Alternative ESL Placement
This change affects Table 4A for the 23/24 FY going forward. Table 4A for previous FYs was not changed.
The alternative placement assessments were added in Release 2024.5.0 and ONLY display in clients who have opted in to use alternative placements.
NRS Table 4A: Educational Functioning Level Gain
(MSG Types 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d)
Table 4A reports a subset of students from Table 4 who have made an EFL gain by pre/post test, completion of Carnegie Units or advancing to the NEDP Assessment Phase, enrolling in postsecondary education or training, or by passing any subtest of an HSE such as HiSET or GED.
All columns use the same rules and logic as Table 4, but are only populated with students who achieved an MSG that counts as an EFL Gain. In each of Columns C, E, G, I, and K, the total number of participants who achieved at least one EFL Gain via the MSG of that type are reported. For example, a student who made a level gain in Reading and Math will count in both columns C and E.

Students who do not count on Table 4A
When there are no hours in 90 days between one assessment and another assessment that calculates the entry level in a PoP, the first assessment is ignored for determining a student's inclusion on Table 4A.
For example:
Student's first assessment in the FY places them at ABE L2.
The student does earn enough instruction hours to be placed in a PoP.
90+ days after the date of the last activity (either the assessment or the hours), the student is assessed again at ABE L4.
Student earns 12 or more hours after the last activity to be placed in a PoP.
ABE L4 will populate the entry level of the PoP.
Even though the student appears to have made a gain, they did not because the student did not have hours between the two assessments without a gap.
This student will NOT count on Table 4A.
