74

The school performance score summarizes how well a school is preparing all of its students for the next level of study. For elementary schools, this score is based on students’ mastery of key content for their grade level, their growth from the prior year, and their successful transition into 9th grade for schools with 8th grade students. For high schools, this score also measures graduation rates and how well schools are preparing students for college and a career. Schools that are K-2 configurations have accountability data based on a paired school, designated by its district.

HOW IS THIS SCHOOL PERFORMING ON PERFORMANCE SCORE METRICS?

This year's school performance scores reflect two new changes. 1) The bar for “A” schools has been raised. Schools receive less points for students performing at the “Basic” level, and more points for students performing at advanced levels; 2) 25 percent of a school's rating (12.5% for high schools) comes from the new “Student Progress” index measuring how well students are progressing towards “Mastery” throughout the school year, regardless of where they started. This measure values the individual progress of every student, and not just their performance at the end of the year.
