Data notes
- After clicking on a school name, you’ll see ratings in the various areas that make up the overall rating. This includes academic performance, academic growth, whether your school is closing achievement gaps and, for high schools, progress on post-secondary and workforce readiness.
- Schools with more than one grade level – such as K-8s or 6-12s – may have received more than one rating. This is because the state assigns ratings by grade level – E for elementary, M for middle school and H for high school. So a K-8 school might receive one rating for its E or elementary grades and another rating for its M or middle school grades. Schools denoted with an “A” for grade level mean all grade levels were combined.
