These measures hold schools accountable to the success of all students:

Broad categories in the NSPF demonstrate the number of students performing at grade level. Explore each of the different indicators for elementary, middle, and high school here.

Many students in our communities enter school with a limited ability to speak English. We know that learning the English language is a foundation for future success in school and beyond.

Students come to school with diverse backgrounds and school experiences. Great schools ensure that all students grow in their academic careers, regardless of their starting point. Growth indicators include math median growth percentile (MGP), English Language Arts (ELA) median growth percentile, math adequate growth percentile, and ELA adequate growth percentile.

Looking ahead, most jobs will require training after high school. Our students must be prepared for college and careers so they can have access to all available opportunities. College and career readiness indicators include post-secondary preparation participation and completion, and number of students receiving an Advanced or Career and College-Ready diploma.

The foundation for any great school is having a strong community where students want to be. Student engagement indicators include chronic absenteeism, 8th-grade credit requirements (middle school), and 9th-grade credit sufficiency (high school).
