States use their accountability systems to identify low performing schools, which can receive added support and are expected to improve.
Alternative schools serve students whose needs are not met in a regular school. They often serve at-risk students who are struggling academically or behaviorally.
Given this unique population, we looked at how states hold alternative schools accountable.
Our review of 15 selected state accountability systems— used to assess all types of schools—found that all 15 include at least one indicator that research organizations and relevant studies considered useful in capturing alternative school achievement.
