Next Generation Accountability System

Connecticut’s Next Generation Accountability System is a broad set of 12 indicators that help tell the story of how well a school is preparing its students for success in college, careers and life. The system moves beyond test scores and graduation rates to provide a more holistic, multi-factor perspective of district and school performance.

The 12 Indicators are:

1. Academic achievement status measured by state assessments

2. Academic growth

3. Assessment participation rate

4. Chronic absenteeism

5. Postsecondary preparation - coursework

6. Postsecondary readiness – exams and college credit

7. Graduation – on track in ninth grade

8. Graduation – four-year adjusted cohort graduation rate – all students

9. Graduation – six-year adjusted cohort graduation rate – high needs

10. Postsecondary entrance rate – all students (college enrollment)

11. Physical fitness

12. Arts access
