we use dozens of other metrics, broadly in three areas:
- are the students learning (assessment data, lexile and quantile growth, progress towards graduation requirements, etc.)
- is the school model addressing the needs of students (do we have the right intervention or enrichment courses being taught given where the students are academically)
- does the school have the right culture (are students happy and engaged, are parents, are teachers, is the school community thriving - some of these are based on surveys, and some on metrics)
Hope this answers your question!
Standardized tests are obviously incredibly important for gauging academic performance, but other qualitative metrics like parent, student and teacher surveys are very useful and usually tie back to academic performance. Suspension rates, absenteeism, attrition, graduation rates, % of graduates persisting and graduating from 2 and 4 year colleges are also important measurements of "performance" in ways that standardized tests don't capture. Also teacher retention and fiscal metrics are important for sustainability. All of these metrics can be put on a single page dashboard to give a good feel of school performance (to be interpreted by the board or accountability team).
