Planning Rationale
The CPS School Quality Rating Policy (SQRP) is the District’s policy for measuring annual school performance. The purpose of the SQRP is to:
- Communicate to parents and community members about the academic success of individual schools and the district as a whole;
- Recognize high achieving, high growth schools and identify best practices;
- Provide a framework for goal-setting for schools;
- Identify schools in need of targeted or intensive support
- Guide the Board’s decision-making processes around school actions and turnarounds.
CPS may consider the SQRP when identifying schools and evaluating potential school improvement needs.
