ESSA School Index: Accountability System for School Success

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) introduced the ESSA School Index, a stakeholder-designed accountability system that includes indicators such as achievement, growth, graduation rate, English learner progress, and school quality. This article discusses the calculation of achievement scores, value-added growth, cohort graduation rate, and school quality and student success indicators. It also explores the impact of the new achievement calculation on schools and the use of indicators to measure success.
