The Iowa Department of Education Tuesday released new Iowa School Performance Profiles for the 2023-24 school year, marking the first time new state school performance ratings and federal designations have been determined using an updated state plan for school accountability and support.
The new accountability system includes a streamlined set of core indicators including proficiency results in English language arts, mathematics, and science, student academic growth, chronic absenteeism, graduation rates and postsecondary readiness.
The new Iowa School Performance Profiles website shows schools that have been identified for additional support and improvement based on their performance in 2023-24 to meet requirements of the federal Every Student Succeeds Act, or ESSA.
35 schools are in need of comprehensive support and improvement, representing the lowest performing five percent of all Title 1 public schools as well as schools with graduation rates lower than 66 percent.
