Summary
11
It is important to consider multiple measures when assessing
school performance, as we must define our own success.
IPS proactively engages in determining and implementing
interventions and supports for low-performing schools.
A SQR will provide contextual and qualitative data to better
inform IPS decisions and recommendations.
