Dropout Recovery Report Card Designations

Dropout Prevention and Recovery (DOPR) Community Schools are eligible for a specialized Report Card designed specifically for them. Community schools that previously received a waiver from closure, as well as any conversion community school with an approved Report Card data roll-up exclusion application, will receive a DOPR report card, and any school wishing to receive one must apply for approval.

Since DOPR schools serve a majority of their students through dropout prevention and recovery programs, they receive alternative report card ratings, using the categories Exceeds Standards, Meets Standards, Does Not Meet Standards, or Not Reported in place of traditional star ratings for report card measures.
