Academic Outcomes
The academic section of the framework focuses on measurable academic outcomes. It reflects the IPCSC’s commitment to evaluating school performance within the context of each school’s community and student demographics.
See the performance framework for details. The performance framework details the standards of achievement for each measure.

Alternative Academic Framework
Schools identified as alternative campuses are evaluated using additional measures designed to reflect their unique educational settings and student populations. These measures are applied in addition to the standard framework. For more information, please see the Alternative Academic Framework and the Alternative Academic Framework Business Rules.
