Is this based on mostly how students do in standardized tests? Also can the number of detentions, referrals and suspensions hinder a school from achieving a grade A+?
Well some parents before they make a decision of where they enroll their kids, they look if the school is an A or B school. No sure what your question meant...
Doesn't the district assign grades for each school? But what measurements do they use? Is it just the tests?
never mind, I think I found the answer online, it's based on tests and graduation rate. Doesn't say anything related to behavior management http://schoolgrades.fldoe.org/pdf/1516/SchoolGradesOverview16.pdf I thought referrals and suspensions deter schools from getting an A grade. But that doesn't seem to be the case
This must vary in different locations. In my district, there are many factors that play into school ratings: attendance, test scores, discipline stats, parent involvement, etc.
Ours is based on test scores, attendance, graduation rates, etc. A lot of our score is based on how the lowest 25% of our students, which is based on the previous year's standardized test scores, score on the current year's test.
