[1] The School Progress Report (SPR) measures district and charter schools on multiple dimensions: overall, academic achievement, academic progress, school climate and safety, and college and career readiness (in high schools).  Schools earn scores between 0-100% and are assigned to one of four tiers: Intervene (0-24%), Watch (25-49%), Reinforce (50-74%), and Model (75-100%).
