Abstract	Nationally, there are dozens of established indicators of school performance and thousands of possible combinations of those indicators to create an accountability framework. How do policy makers decide which variables are most important? This relates to measurement modeling -- that is, how to incorporate all pieces of the puzzle into a comparable, cross-school report or formula. To help explore a range of best-practice accountability models, the Cowen Institute undertook a comprehensive review of school performance frameworks and accountability measures from school districts and education departments across the U.S. and Europe. In addition to assessing both academic proficiency and academic growth, communities draw upon a number of quantitative non-cognitive measures of school performance and student well-being. As the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires the inclusion of at least one non-cognitive measure in accountability models, it would be valuable for Orleans Parish and the state of Louisiana to draw upon proven-effective existing models and methods of assessment rather than work to create a unique system from scratch. This report includes descriptions of several such measures and identifies the potential benefit of including these non-academic indicators in accountability frameworks. The report also presents other accountability measures used nationally and provides suggestions for alternative models of scoring and reporting school performance. (ERIC).
