Abstract
This ongoing study, conducted at the request of the Delaware State Board of Education, is
intended to monitor Delaware’s student accountability plan and provide longitudinal
information about its effects on students. It addresses four key areas of potential impact:
1) student achievement, 2) behavioral effects, 3) retention rates, and, 4) completion rates.
Highlights are organized according to these categories.
Description
This report is the third in a series of annual reports designed to monitor the impact of
Delaware’s Student Accountability Plan on students in Delaware. More than ten years of
educational reform in Delaware has led to the creation of a performance based
accountability system composed of rigorous standards, a statewide assessment, and
consequences for performance.
