2009 Performance Summary

Zachary High 2009 Performance Summary

Zachary High receives an annual School Performance Score (SPS) which shows how well it is performing. The state goal for all schools in Louisiana is to make an SPS of 120 by the year 2014. Every school receives two scores, a Baseline SPS and a Growth SPS. The Baseline SPS is used to determine a school’s performance star label and growth target. A performance label describes a school’s level of performance while the growth target identifies how much a school must grow annually to reach the state goal of 120 on time. The Growth SPS is compared to the Baseline SPS to determine if a school has achieved its yearly Growth Target.

The “Baseline School Performance Score” consisted of Zachary High School’s Graduation data, 9th Grade iLEAP, and 10th/11th Grade GEE scores.
