Abstract	In a pioneering effort to improve school accountability and move it beyond a simple recitation of high-stakes test scores, New York City developed the Progress Report (PR), a set of metrics that includes the overall "A" through "F" letter grade that the Department of Education (DOE) began issuing annually to most public schools beginning in 2007. In 2011, in an effort to gain a better understanding of New York City's accountability system, New Visions for Public Schools was commissioned to assess various components of the high school PR. The result, "Unlocking New York City's High School Progress Report," represents the most comprehensive analysis of the PR to date. The study attempts to explore how the PR's methodology can more accurately assess the impact that each of New York City's more than 400 high schools has on the diverse student population it serves. This study clarifies not only the impact of the current version of the PR, but also points to several key revisions that can improve the PR (specifically, the Peer Index's methodology) to increase its accuracy. This report contributes important insights into the broader conversation about how to improve New York City's accountability system. (ERIC).
