Advanced Courses
The following courses/course codes have been designated “Advanced Courses.” These are the courses that are used to evaluate MSIP Performance Standard 9.4.1. Basically, these courses are considered advanced because they are over and above the courses required for graduation. It is assumed that the content of the courses, in general, is at a level suitable for juniors and seniors who are preparing for postsecondary education or training.

In addition to the advanced courses provided within the resident district, advanced courses provided off site are automatically included in the calculation for 9.4.1 when the district submits the required data (including course numbers) to populate Core Data Screen 22. Screen 22 data must be reported for each area institution that provides advanced courses (i.e., other districts, community colleges, four-year colleges and universities, and Internet/electronic instructional providers). Only those specific courses with course codes and grade levels matching those on the approved advanced course list, courses coded with a delivery system of IB or AP, and dual credit courses (excluding career education dual-credit classes) count in the advanced course calculation.
Advanced Course Calculation (as used in the Annual Performance Report):
- For each year of the five years ending with the previous year, multiply the enrollment in each designated advanced course by the unit of credit for this course reported in the October 1 Cycle of Core Data and total these enrollment credits for each year.
- For each corresponding year, multiply the number of class periods in a school day (credits possible in a school day) by the total number of juniors and seniors (11th and 12th grade students) reported in the October 1 Core Data Cycle. (If a school has an 8 or 10 block schedule, 8 or 10 would be used as the number of periods in this calculation.)
- For each corresponding year, divide the total of all advanced enrollment credits available each year (Step 1 results) by the total number of all enrollment credits available to juniors and seniors (Step 2 results).
Formula for Calculating Percent of Advanced Enrollment Credits earned by Students each year:
Total Number of Advanced Enrollment Credits Per Year
| Number of Class Periods in a School Day (or Number of Blocks in Block Schedule) | x |
Number of Juniors and Seniors (reported each year in Oct. 1 Core Data Cycle) |
