The Achievement component represents the number of students who passed the state tests and how well they performed on them. This component includes three additional performance indicators —the Chronic Absenteeism Improvement Indicator, End-of-Course Improvement Indicator and Gifted Indicator

Achievement Grade: 75%25 Performance Index and 25%25 Indicators MetThe Performance Index measures the achievement of every student, not just whether or not they reach “proficient.” Districts and schools receive points for every student’s level of achievement. The higher the student’s level, the more points the school earns toward its index. This rewards districts and schools that improve the performance of highest- and lowest-performing students. 

The Indicators Met measure represents student performance on state tests. It is based on a series of up to 23 state tests that measure the percent of students proficient or higher in a grade and subject. Districts and schools also are evaluated on the Chronic Absenteeism Improvement Indicator, End-of-Course Improvement Indicator and Gifted Indicator, giving districts and schools up to 26 possible indicators.
