Index 1: Student Achievement Index 1: Student Achievement provides an overview of student performance based on satisfactory student achievement across all subjects for all students. • Combined over All Subjects: Reading, Mathematics, Writing, Science, and Social Studies. • Student Group: All Students. • Performance Standards: Phase-in 1 Level II (Satisfactory).

Total Index Points is the percentage of assessments that meet the Phase-in 1 Level II Standard. Each percent of students meeting the Phase-in 1 Level II performance standard contributes one point to the index. Index scores range from 0 to 100 for all campuses and districts.
