Rhode Island’s statewide accountability system includes measures like test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism for students and teachers. This is how our state rates school performance. Using this information, RIDE assigns overall star ratings to public schools across the state. This star rating is a simple way to understand overall school success.
To earn a higher overall star rating, schools must meet higher performance levels within each major area of RIDE’s school star rating system. This approach intentionally prevents high performance in some areas from masking low performance in others, enabling schools to focus improvement efforts in areas that need the most attention.
The Overview section provides an overview of the school’s performance across all accountability measures, while the Measure Details sections provides additional interactive dashboards showing performance on each individual measure.
