Each school's Progress Report (1) measures student year-to-year progress, (2) compares the school to peer schools and (3) rewards success in moving all children forward, especially children with the greatest needs. The Progress Report measures four areas:

School Environmentuses parent, teacher and secondary student surveys and other data to measure necessary conditions for learning: attendance, academic expectations, communication, engagement and safety and respect.

Student Performancemeasures student skill levels in English Language Arts and Math.

Student Progressmeasures average student improvement from last year to this year in English Language Arts and Math.

Closing the Achievement Gapgives schools additional credit for exemplary gains among high-need students.

The back page provides specific information about how the school performed in each of these areas.
