The school and district report cards are set for release Thursday. They will include the performance score and letter grade earned by each school and district. Those grades and scores are based on a variety of factors for different types of schools. Report cards for high schools, for example will include measures of student proficiency on end-of-course tests and the ACT college preparatory test now required for all students.
The education department issued four separate online guides Tuesday — one each for elementary, middle, combination and high schools.
Online:
Parent guides for high schools; combination schools; middle schools; elementary schools.
