2. The Overall Average Score thresholds for the Current Performance star ratings are as follows: 3 star is obtained if the overall average score is less than or equal to 2.37 2 star (upper) is obtained if the overall average score is more than 2.37 but less than or equal to 2.79 2 star (lower) is obtained if the overall average score is more than 2.79 but less than or equal to 3.34 1 star is obtained if the overall average score is more than 3.34 but less than or equal to 3.75 - star is obtained if the overall average score is greater than 3.75

3 star Proven Secure

The Overall average score thresholds for the improvement categories are as follows: ' Proven ' and ' Secure ' are obtained if the overall average scores are less than or equal to 3 ' Not Proven ' and ' Not Secure ' are obtained if the overall average scores are greater than 3

Comprehensive Performance Assessment - 2004 (v.14.07)

1. The Overall Average Score for each perspective is calculated using all indicators in the perspective across the 5 aspects. It multiplies each indicator's score by its associated weight (i.e. the weighted score), and then dividing the sum of the weighted scores by the sum of the weights (shown above). In a few instances where indicators are not applicable to some LEAs, the sum of the weighted scores and the sum of the weights are adjusted accordingly (i.e. the indicator(s) and its weight(s) are not included in the calculations). The overall average score is then compared to the category thresholds (see 2 below) and the final category determined. Further details on the indicators used can be found on the scorecard and the CPA Education Guidelines.

Notes: 1. For JRS indicators scores are calculated so that; grades 1 and 2 equate to a score of 1; grade 3, 4 and 5 equate to scores of 2, 3 and 4 respectively; and grades 6 and 7 equate to a score of 5. For non-JRS indicators scores please consult CPA guidance. 2. The average score for each aspect within a perspective is calculated by multiplying each indicator's score in the aspect by its associated weight, added together (i.e the sum of the weighted scores) and then divided by the sum of the weights
