Success measures

To accomplish these goals, we must measure what matters and increase student outcomes. We will have intentional focus on eliminating equity gaps and empowering our students from underrepresented populations, including students from low-income backgrounds and/or students that identify as Black, Indigenous, Latinx, and/or other marginalized groups. We will disaggregate data on our success measures to prioritize where we need to improve.
