Interpreting the School District Report Cards

I highly recommend that you take a few moments to review the glossary of terms to assist you in interpreting the district rating data on this site.  

Districts are rated based on the following ratings:

Excellent The district meets 17 or 18 indicators or 100 or above on the Performance Index (PI)
Effective The district meets 14 to 16 indicators or score 90 to 99.9 on the PI.
Continuous Improvement The district meets 9 to 13 indicators or 80 to 89.9 on the PI OR they meet AYP (the lowest a district can be rated if they meet AYP is CI).
Academic Watch The district  meets 6 to 8 indicators or score 70 to 79.9 and have missed AYP.
Academic Emergency The district met 5 or fewer indicators, scored less than a 70 and missed AYP.
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP): The final goal is for all students to reach the proficient level in reading and mathematics by 2013-14. Until then, yearly goals are set requiring a specific percentage of students in 10 student groups, such as African American, Hispanic, and White students, to reach proficiency in these subjects. For the school to meet AYP, goals for each student group must be met. If any goal is missed, the school does not meet AYP for the year
State Indicators: A school meets a state indicator by reaching a minimum requirement for the percentage of students at or above the proficient level on 3rd, 4th-, 6th- and 9th-grade tests. The two non-test indicators with minimum requirements are graduation and attendance rate.
Performance Index Score: For each subject in grades four and six, students get one of four performance levels – below basic, basic, proficient and advanced – on a test. The performance index averages the scores for the five subject areas tested in your school and creates a scale of 0-120 with 100 being the goal. The performance index score represents the achievement of all students on all five subject areas of the proficiency tests.
