Student Success Metrics

Academic Acheivement 

Experiencing success in the classroom reinforces students’ efforts to learn and  master educational fundamentals, and this success leads to graduation.  The Board Metric for this theme is the “6-year graduation rate” (i.e., the  percentage of students who graduate within 6 years)—a standard state and national measure of student success.

Experiencing success in the classroom reinforces students’ efforts to learn and master educational fundamentals, and this success leads to graduation. The metrics for measuring academic acheivement are as follows:
