2012 Massachusetts State Report Card
Part IV - State Accountability Report



Massachusetts uses the Progress and Performance Index (PPI) to assess the improvement of each district, school, and subgroup toward its own targets. The PPI combines information about narrowing proficiency gaps, growth, and graduation and dropout rates into a single number.
All districts, schools, and student subgroups with sufficient data are assigned an annual PPI based on two years of data and a cumulative PPI between 0 and 100 based on three annual PPIs. For group to be considered to be making progress toward narrowing proficiency gaps, the cumulative PPI for must be 75 or higher.
