Connecticut Launches Database That Tracks Public School Performance
New Haven Register (12/10/12)On Dec. 10, Connecticut Education Commissioner Stefan Pryor unveiled an online database that provides information on school performance for use by parents and other public school stakeholders. The database tracks the School Performance Index and the graduation rates of public schools. "The state's new school accountability and support framework enables more precise, more helpful snapshots of school performance. By heralding schools making significant progress and highlighting schools in need of greater support, the system also will help districts and the state focus our efforts where they are needed most," he said. The index is an average of student performance in all tested grades and subjects, and alongside graduation rates can impact new school classifications. The new database can be viewed here.
