MO SB1194

Replaces the existing school accountability report card system with a new A-F letter grade rating system (on a 0-100 scale) for all public school districts, public schools, and charter schools based on student outcomes

Creates the "Show Me Success Program" providing performance-based funding awards of $100 per student for schools in the top 5% statewide in performance or growth, and $50 per student for schools in the top 6-10%, beginning after the 2026-27 school year

Establishes rating criteria with K-8 schools weighted 40% academic achievement, 30% value-added growth, and 30% growth to proficiency; high schools weighted 25% each for achievement, growth, and growth to proficiency, plus 15% for a "success ready graduate" measure and 10% for graduation rate

Requires embargoed report cards be provided to schools by July 15 annually, with public release within 36 hours and school website publication by August 15; schools testing fewer than 95% of students face automatic one-level rating reduction

Mandates a separate annual accountability report card for the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education measuring student attendance at highly-rated schools, alignment between state and national assessments, and district leader satisfaction surveys
