Progress Report

The NYC Progress Report was the main accountability tool used by the New York City Department of Education from 2007 through 2013. Progress Reports graded each school with an A, B, C, D, or F and were based on student progress (60%), student performance (25%), and school environment (15%). Progress Reports were developed for most schools, including early childhood, elementary, middle, and high schools. Certain groups of schools (District 79 schools, some District 75 schools, and some early childhood schools) did not receive Progress Reports.
