School Performance Reports• Identify school strengths and weaknesses on key performance
indicators so local stakeholders can set goals for improvement
• Ask four questions for each performance measure1. How did my school do on a particular measure? Trend?2. How does that compare to schools that educate students like
mine?3. How does that compare to all schools across the state?4. Did I meet the statewide target for that measure?

Advances• Schools as the ‘units of change.’• Establishment of peer groups for benchmarking.• Use of metrics indicative of college and career readiness – i.e.,
Chronic Absenteeism.• Unprecedented use of student-level data – i.e., grad and
dropout rates, unique headcount in AP/IB testing and course taking.
• Use of multiple metrics – beyond statewide assessments – to develop fuller picture of school performance.
• By drawing out conclusions and comparisons, the reports engage community stakeholders and school boards in new ways.
• Continues organizational shift from being an agency that collects data for compliance to an agency that uses data well.

• Include more data! Such as ACT, IB and course taking in Visual and Performing Arts
• Uncertainty about Algebra I in the middle school under Common Core
• Breakout postsecondary enrollment by institution type• Include dual enrollment• HSPA is flat at the top
