Iowa School Performance Profile

The Iowa School Performance Profiles (ISPP) is an online tool showing how public schools have performed on multiple measures. 

Iowa’s state plan for school accountability and support under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) unifies Iowa’s school accountability systems. It maintains a focus on school accountability, reflecting high expectations for all students, incentivizing evidence-based instructional practices and prioritizes partnership with schools most in need of support. 

The ISPP website includes scores on a set of accountability measures required under ESSA, as well as ratings and identification of schools for support and improvement (Comprehensive and Targeted) based on the scores. 

The website also includes additional data that are required for public reporting purposes under state or federal law but do not figure into a school’s accountability score.
