TrueSchools Ratings
School ratings are based on state standardized test scores and comparing those results to other schools in the same state. TrueSchools ratings range from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest school rating and 1 being the lowest. Ratings are meant to give an overview of a school's performance in the most recent state standardized tests TrueSchools has records for.
Each school's rating is determined by comparing it's test scores to those of other schools in the same state. Composite scores are determined by combining a school's results for each test and grade and weighting scores by the number of students taking each test. Tests taken by fewer than 10 students are not calculated in the composite score.
Private Schools & Schools Without Ratings
Private schools do not have ratings because private schools are not obligated to report their test scores to the public. Some public schools may not have ratings because either the school did not report its results, the results were incomplete or there was not enough data available to calculate an accurate rating.
Other Criteria to Consider
Keep in mind ratings are solely based on a school's performance on its state's standardized tests. Ratings do not take into account other important factors you should consider when evaluating a school. Such factors include class sizes and student-teacher ratios, the quality of teachers and amount of personal attention given to each student, school programs and extracurricular activities provided, amount of funding a school receives and how much is spent per student and other available resources. These are among a few of the qualities to consider when choosing a school to send your child to. [close window]

Local Support and Improvement
Accountability support models.
The Every Student Succeeds Act, or ESSA, the main federal law for K-12 public education, requires that states hold public schools accountable for how students achieve. New York State established a set of indicators to measure school and district performance to determine appropriate school and district support. All schools in New York State are identified for a support model based on the accountability measures intended for schools and districts to consider when setting goals for continuous improvement.
The school accountability support models are:
| Support Model | Definition |
|---|---|
| Schools identified for Comprehensive Support and Improvement, or CSI | A minimum of 5% of the lowest performing elementary/middle schools in the state receiving Title I, Part A funds plus any non-Title I elementary/middle schools meeting the criteria for identification AND a minimum of 5% of the lowest performing high schools receiving Title I, Part A funds plus any non-Title I high schools meeting the criteria for identification. CSI schools are identified once every three years based on the performance of the All Students accountability group. |
| Schools identified for Additional Targeted Support and Improvement, or ATSI | Schools are identified for ATSI if the TSI subgroup does not exit its TSI status in the number of years outlined in regulation. |
| Schools identified for Targeted Support and Improvement, or TSI | Schools are identified for TSI based on the low performance of accountability subgroups other than the All Students group for two consecutive years. These accountability subgroups are: American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian or Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Multiracial, White, Economically Disadvantaged, English Language Learner, and Students with Disabilities. In the first year of low performance, the subgroup will be identified Potential TSI. |
| Schools identified for Local Support and Improvement, or LSI | A school that is not identified for CSI, ATSI, or TSI is a school identified for LSI. A school identified for LSI will continue to use the systems and processes established at the local level for continuous improvement efforts. There is no change in regulatory requirements for this group of schools. |
The district accountability support models are:
- Local Support and Improvement, and
- Target District.
| Support Model | Definition |
|---|---|
| Local Support and Improvement, or LSI | A district that has no schools identified for CSI, ATSI, TSI, or no subgroup at the district level is identified for CSI, ATSI, or TSI, then the district is identified for LSI. A district identified for LSI will continue to use the systems and processes established at the local level for continuous improvement efforts. There is no change in regulatory requirements for LSI districts. |
| Target District | A district that has any school identified for CSI, ATSI, TSI, or if any subgroup at the district level is identified for CSI, ATSI, or TSI, then the district is identified for Target District. |
Read the Accountability Fact Sheet for Parents for more information. Find more information about ESSA Accountability Designations on our website .

How do students at your child’s school perform on New York State tests?
Students in New York State take standardized tests in English language arts and mathematics in grades 3-8, science in grades 4 and 8, and high school Regents exams in English, mathematics, science, and social studies. The tests are designed to measure how well students are mastering the learning standards that guide classroom instruction and help to ensure that students are on track to graduate from high school with the critical thinking, problem solving, and reasoning skills needed for success in college and the modern workplace.
Students are assigned a performance level based on how well they do on the tests, with 4 being the highest level a student can earn.

| Performance Level | Description |
| Level 4 | Advanced Proficient |
| Level 3 | Proficient |
| Level 2 | Partially Proficient |
| Level 1 | Not Proficient |

These financial transparency reports were issued for the first time in 2020 for the 2018-19 school year, and annual releases will be available after April 1st in each subsequent year. School district financial transparency reports, which display per pupil expenditures for individual schools, as well as district averages, inform conversations within districts about whether equitable resources are being provided at the school level.
