Utilizes Growth Model to define student progress

Creates new data collection and analysis systems

Accountability Metric

The NCLB Waiver categorizes schools as:

Non-Categorized

Accountability Metric

Priority Schools:

The lowest performing schools across the State with regard to absolute achievement or graduation outcomes (<60%) and those that are persistently low achieving (approximately 75 across the State)

Accountability MetricReward Schools:

Recognizes, celebrates and rewards schools with high overall and subgroup achievement levels and those that are demonstrating great progress

Non-Categorized Schools:

Schools who do not fall into the other categories

Performance Targets

The revised NCLB waiver transitions fromAnnual Measurable Targets toPerformance Targets:

Equal annual increments are established, reducing by 50% the

partially-proficient students in 6 years with 2011 results serving as baseline data
