2018-19 School Recognition Program
Background on the New State School Recognition System
Phase 2 of the New State School Recognition System (2020)
Schools are recognized for:
- Closing Gaps: these schools close opportunity gaps for specific student groups, e.g. Hispanic students and make systems changes to improve outcomes for all students
- Growth: Schools recognized for growth show progress one year to the next
- Achievement: Schools recognized for high achievement show high performance in many measures. Measures include English language arts (ELA) and math state test scores and graduation rates.
If you would like to view a more detailed description of the three routes to recognition see the 2018-19 Methodology page.
