| How is our district doing overall? |
| Accountability & assistance levels |
|
| Chronically underperforming district -
Low assessment participation (Less than 95%) |
Most schools are assigned a level from 1-5, with those meeting their proficiency gap-narrowing goals in Level 1 and the lowest performing in Levels 4 and 5.
A district is typically assigned a level based on the level of its lowest performing school. Placing schools and districts into levels helps districts know which schools need more support,
and helps the state know which districts need the most assistance.

|
| District determination of need for special education technical assistance or intervention |  | Districts, including single school districts, are assigned a determination of need for special education technical assistance or intervention. These determinations, which are typically based on the district's accountability and assistance level, range from
Meets Requirements - Provisional (districts with insufficient data) to Needs Substantial Intervention (Level 5 districts). The determination, which also incorporates compliance measures, helps to identify whether the Department will require districts to take additional actions to support improved outcomes for all children, especially students with disabilities. |

| How does our district's achievement over time compare to the state? |
|
The transitional Composite Performance Index (CPI) is a number from 1-100 that represents the extent to which all students are
progressing toward proficiency in a given subject. When all students demonstrate proficiency on MCAS and/or PARCC tests, the CPI will be 100. Our district's transitional CPIs for 2013-2016 are below. |
