Accountability

Overview

The mission of the Accountability Office is to serve the public by providing accurate, useful, honest, and on-time education data. A valid and reliable accountability system is the foundation for all school and District related data reporting and generates all data reports required by state and federal law. As a repository for meaningful and actionable data, the accountability system provides accurate, useful, honest, and on-time data and assists in rigorous analysis to identify whether schools and Districts are improving and are preparing students for success in college and career. The system tracks student learning progress, is essential to monitoring school quality, informs instructional practices and is helpful to parents in informing school selection.
