School effectiveness and organization by district

Schools designated "Beating the Odds", share of schools analyzed. 2025 compared with 2024. Good ●●●

Select a column heading to sort. Blank means the publisher did not report that area; "suppressed" means the publisher withheld a small number; "not shown" means this site withheld it (fewer than 30 survey respondents).

The county column comes from the district-to-county table, for reading county measures alongside district ones. State charter schools and other statewide units have no single county.

Source: GOEWS Beating the Odds analysis, per-school designation files. A school beats the odds when its CCRPI score is above the range predicted from its enrollment, poverty, mobility, and other characteristics. By construction about a third of schools statewide are designated each year, so the statewide share barely moves; the district shares are where the information is. No analysis was issued for 2019-20 through 2022-23.
