Gap Closing

The Gap Closing component shows how well schools are meeting the performance expectations for our students in English language arts, math, and graduation. It also measures how schools are doing in supporting English learners to increase language proficiency, reducing chronic absenteeism for all students, and identifying gifted students and providing gifted services.


Annual Performance Goals

The annual performance goals are established in six areas, and the performance of specific student groups are measured against the annual or long-term goals for each area. Goals are established for English Language Arts academic achievement and growth, Math academic achievement and growth, graduation, English learner language proficiency, chronic absenteeism, and gifted performance. Each student group has its own interim and long-term goals in English language arts, math and graduation. Student groups with fewer than 15 students are not rated and do not appear on the graphs.

The state expectation for all areas and all student groups are to continue closing educational gaps year over year. A proportional adjustment is applied to schools and districts if their combined testing participation rate in English language arts and math does not meet or exceed 95 percent.
