Document Number: 1386  Performance-Based Accountability: Public Rankings, Profiles or Categorization of Schools/Districts — State Policies  MS Word - Over the past several years, states have required schools and/or districts to compile "report cards" based on data, such as dropout rates, per-pupil spending, teacher qualifications, enrollment, etc. More recently, an increasing number of states have taken public reporting to another level. Although traditional "report cards" to the public typically have cited a good deal of data, the reader has had little indication of "in comparison to what?" Over half of the states now provide this value-added information because it addresses how schools/districts compare against a standard or against similar institutions. For example, some states identify poor performing schools or assign performance levels such as "satisfactory" to schools.
