SCHOOL<br />
PERFORMANCE SCORES (SPS)<br />
What Do These Scores Mean?<br />
A school’s <strong>School</strong> Performance Score is used <strong>to</strong> determine<br />
how well the school is preparing its students in math,<br />
English, social studies, <strong>and</strong> science. The scores range from<br />
zero (O) <strong>to</strong> approximately 150.<br />
State officials use this score <strong>to</strong> give each school a performance<br />
label <strong>and</strong> tell the school’s administration what it<br />
must do <strong>to</strong> improve.<br />
For the 2017-<strong>2018</strong> school year high school scores<br />
are based on 25% State Assessment Performance <strong>and</strong><br />
Progress, 25% ACT/WorkKeys, 25% Strength of Diploma<br />
<strong>and</strong> 25% Graduation Rate as established by the Louisiana<br />
Department of Education (LDE).<br />
Considering a <strong>School</strong>’s Growth<br />
Remember, the best way <strong>to</strong> consider school performance<br />
is over multiple years so that you can see if a school is<br />
improving. A number of fac<strong>to</strong>rs can affect school performance<br />
<strong>and</strong> we strongly encourage you <strong>to</strong> talk <strong>to</strong> the<br />
principals <strong>and</strong> teachers at your child’s school if you have<br />
questions or concerns about school performance.<br />
