Quality Counts
Quality Counts is a program that assesses and reports on the overall quality of education in schools, primarily focusing on early childhood through 12th grade. It evaluates factors like student achievement, school climate, teacher qualifications, and school resources to provide a comprehensive picture of how well schools are performing. The goal is to inform parents, communities, and policymakers about educational strengths and areas needing improvement, ultimately helping to ensure students receive a high-quality education. By looking at these different aspects, Quality Counts offers insights into the effectiveness and equity of schools across regions.
