Related Metrics
While the seven goals are important, school effectiveness cannot be quantified in just a few sets of measures. The related metrics are presented as an initial set and will change as additional data is gathered and/or identified as necessary to inform our work toward the priorities and goals. These metrics do not have targets. Tracking these metrics will help us to better understand current practices and identify additional needs for resources and support, but there is no single preferred percentage.
