School performance frameworks (SPFs) are action-oriented information tools that provide information on school performance and quality across a variety of measures. SPFs have evolved as a solution for local communities to make sense of an array of student, school, and system performance data, and to support transparent and equitable decisions. SPFs can be especially useful to communities grappling with various autonomous public school structures, school accountability systems, broader school choice, and ambitious school improvement goals. The report examines how local education leaders can create, implement, and sustain effective SPFs. The report details established, locally focused SPFs in New York City, Chicago, Denver, New Orleans, and Washington, D.C., and draws on research and interviews with SPF experts across the country. It also includes an SPF planning guide for education leaders at the local and state level who are beginning to design an SPF, considering an SPF redesign, or implementing an existing SPF.
