State Superintendent Jack O’Connell states that "How a school is faring in comparison to all schools in the state or to those similar in nature is of vital importance to parents, teachers, education advocates, and the business community who are all interested in student performance. This information gives the public additional knowledge about how their schools compare to other schools in their region and statewide. "
