What are Targeted Support and Improvement Schools?
Targeted Support and Improvement Schools, or TSI Schools, are identified based on how schools are meeting the needs of ALL student subgroups (American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian, Black/African-American, Hispanic/Latino, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander, Two or More Races, White, English Learner, Students With Disabilities, and Economically Disadvantaged Students).
Schools are designated as TSI if they have one (or more) consistently underperforming student groups within the Academic Achievement Indicator AND two other Indicators in the NSPF (Growth, Graduation Rate, English Language Proficiency, and Student Engagement). A consistently underperforming student group is a group that was at or below the lowest 15th percentile for the all-student group in that measure. The same student group must flag the Academic Achievement Indicator and at least two other Indicators for the school to be designated as TSI.
Schools that are identified as TSI for three years in a row can move on to a more intense intervention.
