Denominator (eligible population):

Oregon-born children who turned 3, 4, 5 or 6 years old during the measurement year, and were enrolled in the Oregon Health Plan (i.e. Medicaid/CHIP) at least 11 of the 12 months that preceded their birthday

Numerator:

Children from the denominator who had a well-child visit in the 12 months prior to their birthday

Source:

Oregon Health Authority (OHA)

Other notes:

Several factors will explain differences between OCID reported results for this measure, and results reported by the OHA in the context of the state’s Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs). These include:

• The OCID population includes children with fee-for-service (FFS) enrollment; OHA metrics are restricted to children enrolled in CCOs.
• CCOs may report corrections to OHA (e.g., based on chart review) to improve their scores. As a result, CCO’s may report higher results than OCID, which does not include these corrections.
• OCID calculates “continuous enrollment” across plans and plan types, whereas OHA reporting makes this calculation within the context of individual managed care plans (e.g., CCOs).
• This measure is calculated based on administrative claims and enrollment data, which are continually updated as health plans and providers process claims for services that may have occurred months or even years in the past. As a result, calculations may differ depending on the source date on which data were extracted.

Comparison of OCID* to OHA calculations:

Because OCID only contains data for children born in Oregon, OCID results for each indicator will vary from official agency calculations. The tables below compare the two sources. For Oregon’s official calculation of this indicator, please visit the OHA website.

Denominator (eligible population):

Oregon-born children ages 0 through 4 during the measurement year

Numerator:

Children who experience one or more foster care placements during the measurement year

Source:

Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS)

Other notes:

• The indicator does not distinguish between children with one placement and children with multiple placements.
• OCID denominator is based on all Oregon-resident births. Some of these children will have moved out of the state prior to age 5, but may still be counted in the denominator. As a result, our denominator is likely to be inflated respective to the number of children actually living in the state and “eligible” for Oregon foster care placements. This dynamic will likely result in underreporting the actual rate of foster care participation among Oregon-born children.

Denominator (eligible population):

Total students with a valid Kindergarten Assessment by component.

Average score:

Reported measure is the average (mean) raw score. Scores from each component are depicted along a developmental continuum that describes the skills typical students should be able to demonstrate upon entry to kindergarten. This continuum varies by component.

Approaches to Learning: Average score across the 15-item Child Behavior Rating Scale (CBRS), with each individual item and the final average reported on a 1-5 scale

• Developing: score between 1.00-2.90
• Approaching: score between 2.91-3.99
• Demonstrating: score between 4.00-5.00

Early Literacy:

Uppercase English Letters: Average score out of a total of 26 possible points

• Developing: identify 0-7 uppercase letters
• Approaching: identify 8-17 uppercase letters
• Demonstrating: identify 18 or more uppercase letters

Lowercase English Letters: Average score out of a total of 26 possible points

• Developing: identify 0-4 lowercase letters
• Approaching: identify 5-14 lowercase letters
• Demonstrating: identify 15 or more lowercase letters

English Letter Sounds: Average score out of a total of 26 possible points

• Developing: identify 0-3 sounds
• Approaching: identify 4-6 sounds
• Demonstrating: identify 7 or more sounds

Other notes:

• OCID reports data for the Early Literacy assessment starting in 2016 because this is when Oregon Department of Education first released interpretive guidance. Additionally, the assessment itself has remained the same since this time.
• OCID reports data for the Approaches to Learning assessment starting in 2013 because the assessment has remained constant over time and interpretative guidance has been available since this time.

Comparison of OCID* to ODE calculations:

Because OCID only contains data on children born in Oregon, OCID results for each indicator will vary from the official agency calculations. The tables below compares the two sources. For Oregon’s official calculation of this indicator, please visit the ODE website.

Denominator (eligible population):

Total 3rd grade students with a valid assessment

Numerator:

Meets 3rd Grade Reading/Math: count of students meeting or exceeding grade-level proficiency
Below 3rd Grade Reading/Math: count of students below grade-level proficiency

Source:

Oregon Department of Education (ODE)

Other notes:

• Some students are assessed multiple times in a single academic year. Under the guidance of Oregon’s Department of Education (ODE), we have applied the following business rules to select a single assessment result per student:
  • Enrolled grade = 3
  • Student is enrolled on May 1
  • Assessment is the student’s “best” result
  • Assessment is valid
  • Student is not a first-year English language learner
• In the 2011-12 school year, Oregon public schools increased the threshold for meeting 3rd Grade Reading standards, from a score of 204 to a score of 211. The 3rd Grade Math standards did not have a scoring change. In the 2014-15 school year, Oregon public schools changed to new 3rd Grade Reading and Math assessments, from the OAKS tool to Smarter Balanced. Results before and after these changes are not directly comparable. Under ODE’s guidance we are reporting longitudinal performance with appropriate annotations to inform the user of relevant changes that may drive measure results.

We were not able to apply the business rule pertaining to students who didn’t test because our data did not include the required field; ODE has informed us that the number of cases excluded by this field are “negligible to non-existent in all years.”

Comparison of OCID* to ODE calculations:

Denominator (eligible population):

Oregon-born, first-time 9th grade students in Oregon public education

Numerator:

Other notes:

• Students must have an enrollment segment beginning prior to May 1 and ending after May 2, in a standard instruction program (i.e., not college or alternative programs).
• Indicator does not include students that attend home or private schools, or were born outside of Oregon – hence smaller denominators than the total enrollment reported by ODE.

Visit the Student Houselessness dashboard display.

Denominator (eligible population):

Oregon-born students enrolled in Oregon public K-12 education at any point during the academic year

Numerator:

Houseless: Students identified as experiencing houselessness (McKinney-Vento eligible) for any duration of the academic year; includes students residing in shared housing (“doubling up”), shelters, motels/hotels, and unsheltered
Not houseless: Students not identified as experiencing houselessness (McKinney-Vento eligible) during the academic year

Source:

Oregon Department of Education (ODE)

Other notes:

• Students who have migrated into the state (i.e. non-Oregon resident births) are more likely to represent racial/ethnic minorities. ODE reporting shows that non-white students, with the exception of Asian students, experience houselessness in greater proportions. This may partially explain OCID’s lower percentage of reported houselessness, relative to ODE reported figures.
• OCID includes Oregon resident births from 2001 forward. As a result, OCID totals prior to the 2019-20 school year represent a younger age/grade demographic than complete statewide figures.

Numerator:

Regular Attendance: students present more than 90% of instructional days
Chronic Absence: students present 90% or fewer instructional days

Source:

Oregon Department of Education (ODE)

Other notes:

• “Instructional days” are calculated individually for each student as the sum of “present days” + “absent days” across all enrollment segments (e.g. in the case of attending multiple schools) during the academic year.
• Indicator excludes students for whom grade is unknown or unclassified (“UE”).
• Indicator does not include students that attend home or private schools, or were born outside of Oregon – hence smaller denominators than the total enrollment reported by ODE.

Notes:

• Each child is initially assigned the county recorded on their birth record, which represents the county where the birth took place, not necessarily the county of residence. When a child has an encounter with another state agency (e.g. Medicaid enrollment or enrollment in kindergarten), the county is updated based on the new information, and the updated information is applied going forward.

Notes:

Using the attributed county, levels are defined by:

• Tri-county– The three counties comprising the Portland metropolitan region: Clackamas, Multnomah, Washington
• Urban – Non-Metro counties whose largest city has a population of 50,000 or more: Benton, Deschutes, Jackson, Lane, Linn, Marion, Polk
• Rural – Counties whose largest city has a population fewer than 50,000: Baker, Clatsop, Columbia, Coos, Crook, Curry, Douglas, Gilliam, Grant, Harney, Hood River, Jefferson, Josephine, Klamath, Lake, Lincoln, Malheur, Morrow, Sherman, Tillamook, Umatilla, Union, Wallowa, Wheeler, Wasco, Yamhill

Oregon’s 15 Coordinated Care Organizations (CCO) under the Health Authority’s CCO 2.0 contract period effective Jan. 1, 2020

Source:

Varies (based on “County”)

Notes:

• A coordinated care organization (CCO) is a network of multiple types of health care providers (e.g. physical health, mental and behavioral health, dental health) who collaborate to serve local community members receiving health care through the Oregon Health Plan, i.e. Medicaid. Visit the Oregon Health Plan website for more information about CCOs.
• Using the attributed county from above, CCO service areas are defined in accordance with CCO 2.0 counties served. If a CCO operates in any part of a county (i.e., select zip codes), this filter will select the full county encompassing the official CCO service area. This is necessary as zip code level assignment is not available for all individuals in the OCID population. A child does not have to be enrolled in the CCO/Medicaid to be considered as residing in the CCO service area.
• The purpose of this attribute is to provide a population health view within the broad CCO service areas.

Notes:

• For reporting sex/gender, OCID initially uses the sex recorded on a child’s birth certificate. When a child has an encounter with another state agency (e.g. Medicaid enrollment or enrollment in kindergarten) that indicates a different sex/gender, this field is updated with the most recent information.
• The OCID team is working with agency partners and project stakeholders to include nonbinary gender identities in its reporting, as those data become available.

Filter Values:

American Indian/Alaskan Native (AI/AN); Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (NH/PI); Black/African American (Black/AA); Asian; Hispanic/Latinx; White; Other race.

Source:

OCID methodology combines race and ethnicity information from vital statistics, education, Medicaid, and child welfare records. See Race and Ethnicity Data Overview for more information.

Notes:

• Most programs and agencies have different data definitions, collection, and reporting for race and ethnicity, which are not easily reconciled. To consistently report race and ethnicity information across data sources, OCID developed a methodology to select information for individuals when there are multiple options within and across points in time. The OCID methodology was developed in consultation with agency partners and community stakeholders and it will continue to be refined as data collection and reporting strategies evolve within state agencies.
• When multiple race and ethnicity selections existed within or across sources by year, identification was favored in the following order:
  • American Indian/Alaskan Native;
  • Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander;
  • Black/African American;
  • Asian;
  • Hispanic/Latinx;
  • White;
  • Other race.
• Individuals with Hispanic/Latinx ethnicity and White race comprise the Hispanic/Latinx category.
• Individuals with Hispanic/Latinx ethnicity and non-White race remain in the identified race category (e.g., individual with Black race and Hispanic/Latinx ethnicity remains in the Black category).
• The “Other race” category comes from the birth record (mother’s race) and is only available for children who did not have any directly observed race or ethnicity categories from any other data sources, and whose mothers did not identify with categories listed on the birth record. As such, not all dashboards will have the “Other race” category available.

Notes:

• Student houselessness is defined by the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (Act). The Act identifies houseless students as individuals who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence. This definition includes: sharing the housing of other people (“doubling-up”); living in emergency or transitional shelters; living in motels, hotels or camp grounds; and living in vehicles, public spaces, abandoned buildings, or substandard housing. These categories are not mutually exclusive, as a student experiencing houselessness could experience multiple of these definitions in a single year. Houseless ‘unaccompanied minors,’ or youth who have been abandoned or run away from home are also included under the Act. Please visit the Oregon Department of Education McKinney-Vento Act webpage for additional information.
• ‘Houseless’ includes public K-12 students identified as experiencing houselessness at any point during the academic year.
• ‘Not Houseless’ includes public K-12 students who were not identified as experiencing houselessness during the academic year.

Notes:

• Suspensions are instances when a student is temporarily removed from their regular classroom for disciplinary purposes. Suspensions can be ‘in-school,’ where the student remains under direct supervision from school personnel, or ‘out-of-school.’ Expulsions are disciplinary actions that remove a student from their regular school for longer periods than are allowed by out-of-school suspensions.
• ‘Experienced school discipline’ includes public K-12 students in OCID who had at least one in-school suspension, out-of-school suspension, or expulsion at any point during the school year. It does not include students removed to an alternative setting.
• ‘No school discipline experience’ includes public K-12 students in OCID who did not experience suspension (in-school or out-of-school) or expulsion during the school year.
• The Oregon Department of Education reports discipline incidents in 7 offense categories represented in the above “detailed filter values.” These categories are not mutually exclusive, as a single discipline event can include multiple types of discipline.
  • ‘Disruptive behavior’ includes actions such as bullying, attendance violations, insubordination, sexual harassment, or intimidation.
  • ‘Physical assault/attack’ includes actions such as fighting, robbery, hate/bias crime, or school threat.
  • ‘Property crimes’ includes actions such as arson, burglary, theft, trespassing, or vandalism.
