District and School Performance Frameworks

The performance framework report provides information about the levels of attainment in each of the four key performance indicators identified in SB 09-163: achievement, growth, extent of gaps, and postsecondary and workforce readiness. For districts, the evaluation of overall performance on these indicators leads to an accreditation rating. For schools, the evaluation of overall performance in these indicators leads to the assignment of the type of improvement plan schools will implement.
