MO SB1653

State Board of Education must develop annual accountability report cards for all public school districts, individual schools, and charter schools, with embargoed versions provided by September 15 and public posting within 36 hours

Schools and districts receive letter grades (A-F) on a 0-100 scale based on student outcomes, with ratings lowered one level if less than 95% of students participate in state assessments

K-8 school ratings weighted as: 40% academic achievement, 30% value-added growth, and 30% "growth to proficiency" (a new measure tracking student progress toward grade-level proficiency within three years or by grade 10)

High school ratings weighted as: 25% achievement, 25% value-added growth, 25% growth to proficiency, 15% "success ready graduate" measure (AP scores, dual enrollment, career credentials), and 10% four-year graduation rate

Grading scale automatically increases by 5 percentage points when 65% of schools earn an A or B, and special school districts serving only students with disabilities are exempt from report card requirements
