• Schools serving large numbers of students who start school below grade level, but rapidly

• f students who start the year at grade level keep them there and grow their learning

beyond proficiency while recognizing their window for individual growth may be smaller.

• Schools with students who fall behind or who achieve little to no growth are quickly

identified in the A-F Rating System.

• The high school model encourages college and career-readiness activities for all students

according to the student’s own preference, and does not discriminate against any high school, i.e., small, rural or magnet/choice.
