What is the primary purpose of the Nevada School Performance Framework?

The primary purpose of the Nevada School Performance Framework is to evaluate and report on the quality and performance of public schools. This framework provides a comprehensive system that assesses various aspects of school performance, including academic achievement, school environment, and student growth. By consolidating this information, stakeholders such as educators, parents, and policymakers can make informed decisions aimed at enhancing educational outcomes and accountability within the school system.

The evaluation process includes the use of performance metrics that align with state educational goals, ensuring that schools are not only meeting standards but also continuously improving. This focus on performance evaluation plays a vital role in driving school improvement initiatives and enabling targeted support where it is needed most.
