DC’s ESSA State Plan organizes designees into three groups and articulates a timeline for identifying designees, as reported in the table below.
Designation | Definition |
Comprehensive Support and Improvement Schools, Low Performing | Title I schools that score in the bottom 5 percent of all schools receiving Title 1, Part A funds All schools are ranked by summative score. |
Comprehensive Support and Improvement Schools: Low Graduation Rate | High schools in which both four-year and five-year adjusted cohort graduation rates (ACGR) fall below 67 percent. |
Additional Targeted Support and Improvement Schools | Schools receiving this designation have at least one student group performing below the level of the lowest-performing schools in DC. |
Designees must develop a vision and strategies for school improvement in partnership with their school leaders, teachers, and parents. DC PCSB, OSSE, and local education agencies are responsible for monitoring designees’ progress toward achieving their Plans’ goals.
