accountability measures fall
into one of seven main categories of indicators: achievement indicators, such as proficiency in reading and mathematics; student growth indicators in multiple academic subjects; English language acquisition indicators; early warning indicators, such as chronic absenteeism; persistence indicators, such as graduation rates; college - and career - ready indicators, such as participation in and performance on college entry exams; and
other indicators, such as access to the arts.
