The bill amends the School Performance Report Act to revise the measures used in calculating school ratings. Specifically, it introduces a multiple-measures approach that includes academic achievement, student growth, school-level graduation rates, and English-learner progress.

A significant change in the bill is the provision that a student will not be counted as a dropout for the purpose of calculating a school-level graduation rate if they pass a GED test during the year they dropped out. This insertion aims to provide a more accurate representation of a school's performance by recognizing alternative pathways to graduation.
