The Student Progress Rating measures whether students at this school are making academic progress over time based on student growth data provided by the Department of Education. The Growth Rating was created using 2019 Student Growth - MA MCAS data from Massachusetts Department of Education. Additionally, Chesson said six middle school students from other schools have developed symptoms, and about 20 caregivers are sick. The superintendent said this supports their belief that the illness is not environmental or related to food served in the cafeteria. When you enter a Grade, your search results will show listings in the school boundaries of public schools that have your indicated grade.
Try our ECD ranking option which ranks schools based on the test performance of the Economically Disadvantaged students at the school. If you select this option, we will return properties, in your school boundaries, that are also within your defined walking distance of either a CTA or Metra train. The actual score is based on the reported scores for this school as reported by the US Dept of Education. Sometimes a range is reported, in which case we take the average of the range. For the most part, if there is a range, the delta is 4 points, so by taking the average we are at most 2 points off the actual score for the school. Given that, Chesson said, it it "HIGHLY unlikely" that schools will be cancelled for any additional days due to this illness.
