 Most states have a mechanism to identify low-performing schools and provide assistance to the lowest performing among them. Turning around such schools involves making strategic decisions about instructional practices and focusing school staff on aligning every aspect of the school – from curriculum, to professional development to parent and community involvement. Low-performing schools rarely have the capacity to make these changes on their own. Some states provide external coaches or evaluators to help schools develop and implement improvement plans. Other states allow private providers to take over the lowest-performing schools.
This issue site provides information about low-performing schools and strategies that have been used to build and support capacity for improvement.
