On Tuesday, May 22, the Minnesota Department of Education released Multiple Measurement Ratings (MMR) for schools across the state. The new ratings are the result of implementation of a new fairer, more accurate accountability system made possible through the state’s NCLB waiver. Out of about 850 designated schools in Minnesota, Tri-County Elementary was one of 128 that earned the title of REWARD school!

The state ratings included three designations:
REWARD Schools: The highest-performing 15% of Title I schools in the state. The state named 128 schools in this category.
FOCUS Schools: The 10% of Title I schools making the biggest contribution to the state’s achievement gap. There are 85 schools that received this designation.
PRIORITY Schools: The five percent most-persistently low-performing Title I schools in the state. There are 42 schools that received this designation.

Under the new system, schools designated as Reward Schools will be recognized for their good work. MDE will look to share any best practices taking place in their classrooms with other schools across the state. Reward Schools will be identified every year.

Tri-County Secondary was not designated a Reward school but received a high rating of 76.77%!
