Idaho uses an indicator-based accountability system without summative ratings. Schools are identified for support based on ESSA indicators including proficiency, growth, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.
Proficiency shows the percentage of students meeting or exceeding grade-level standards on the Idaho Standards Achievement Test (ISAT).
Growth measures the percentage of students showing adequate yearly progress. A score of 50% means students are meeting expected growth; higher is better.
