This building report card is a brief summary of how your school and students are performing and the
impact of your local school improvement plan. However, it should not be used as a single source to judge
students or school accomplishments. No single report can tell the whole story of a district's or school's
educational program. This report card does not provide information about curriculum, teaching methods,
special programs, the climate of your school or the performance of individual teachers or administrators.
In addition, this report card is not a way of rating or ranking schools. Because of the distinct community
and student characteristics, direct comparisons between schools or districts are invalid. Rank-ordering
school districts or schools is a clear misuse of the information. Rather, the information should be used to
assess local strengths and weaknesses based on past performance and to plan program improvements.
