The overall grade

For the second time, schools and districts received an overall letter grade. This grade was calculated using results from six “components” — achievement, progress, gap closing, improving at-risk K-3 readers, graduation rate and prepared for success.

Achievement — (20 percent of overall grade) — Number of students who passed the state tests and how well they performed.

Progress — (20 percent) — Growth of all students based on their past performances.

Gap closing — (15 percent) — How well districts and schools are meeting expectations for all students, especially the most vulnerable.

Improving at-risk K-3 readers — (15 percent) — Success in getting struggling readers on track to proficiency in third grade and beyond.

Graduation Rate — (15 percent) — Graduation Rate for students in four or five years.

Prepared for Success — (15 percent) — Preparation for future opportunities, whether training in a technical field, preparation for work or college.

Other report card terms and rating categories include:

Performance index — How well did students perform on the tests overall.

Value added — A measure of growth by individual students.
