This approach holds schools accountable for a broader range of measures, and pushes all communities to focus on areas for improvement,” said Commissioner Angélica Infante-Green. “Every school and every community has work to do to improve outcomes for all students.”
This is the second year of Rhode Island’s Star Rating system, developed to bring increased transparency and accessibility to school performance data under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), the federal education law.
“It’s not enough to make data transparent. We need to consistently look for new ways to communicate and share the data so that it’s accessible and actionable for families and communities,” Infante-Green added.
“I encourage and expect districts to talk about these results with students, families, and school teams, and work together to identify how the data will inform our collective work moving forward.”
