The goal of our education system in Colorado is to prepare all students for success in the workforce and college. Each year, every school and district receives a performance rating under the state accountability system to let parents and communities know how well they are doing in meeting the goal of preparing students for success after high school. In addition to state performance ratings, the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) includes an accountability component intended to identify schools in the most need of support and improvement with an emphasis on historically disadvantaged populations and high school graduation. This document provides a crosswalk of state and federal school identifications.
