Schools that offer the same grade levels are compared to each other and assigned a percentile rating from 0-100 called their summative rating.
The primary purpose of the ratings is not to rank schools or assign grades, said Mike Yaple, a spokesman for the state Department of Education. The data can identify successes and challenges and help start conversations about improving education for all students, he said.
Each category that goes into a school’s score is weighted 50% on a school’s overall performance and 50% on the performance of important subgroups, such as African American, Hispanic, special education or economically disadvantaged students.
