This week there's a new way for you to see how your children's school is doing on everything from test scores to attendance and graduation rates.
The letter grade system for evaluating schools, in use for years in Indiana, has been on pause since the COVID-19 pandemic.“Just as my child is not the sum total of one letter grade for who he or she is, neither is a school,” she said.
“Basically, we were stigmatizing kids in poverty and the teachers and the communities they served and then there were consequences for it,” Fuentes-Rowher said. So state lawmakers asked the Indiana Department of Education to come up with a different plan.
“I would suggest that parents understand A-to-F much clearer. It’s much clearer to them than going to a dashboard and trying to drive down and see exactly what's going on,” he said, adding that it should depend on how the letter grade is determined.
