What is a Performance Framework? What does it do?

In Nevada, we use the Nevada School Performance Framework (NSPF), a state-designed accountability system encouraging continuous improvement and support for low-performing schools. It serves as a type of report card for public schools in Nevada. You can explore more information here. Generally, a framework like NSPF serves to:

  • Highlight schools that are educating students at grade level and closing gaps between groups of students.
  • Demonstrate clarity around areas of growth for schools that aren’t effectively educating all students.
  • Empower families to make data-informed decisions about their child’s education.
  • Set a high bar for student achievement aligned to national standards.
