    What Is the A-F Accountability System?

    The A-F Accountability System is required by federal law to measure school performance and is required by state law to do so through an A-F letter grade system.  The A-F system quantitatively measures student proficiency and annual growth in key areas as well as readiness to take the next step in their education or career.  Specifically, schools annually earn a letter grade based on a range of comprehensive measures including:

    *Proficiency in English Language Arts, Math and Science

    *Growth in English Language Arts and Math

    *Proficiency and Growth of English Language Learners

    *Graduation Rate

    *Acceleration and Readiness Measurer, which consists of several measures including chronic absenteeism and the improved growth of subgroups.

    *College and Career Readiness Indicators, which includes passing the ACT or SAT or earning an industry credential, certificate or license.
