Performance Index (DPI/SPI)

  • The Performance Index is the average performance of students in a subject area (i.e., ELA, Mathematics or Science) on the state summative assessments.
  • The Performance Index ranges from 0-100 and is reported for all students and for students in each individual student group.
  • Performance Index is accountability indicator #1. The ultimate target for this indicator for all students and student groups is 75.
  • Starting with 2018-19, Connecticut began implementation of new science assessments aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards. Therefore, 2018-19 science performance index scores cannot be compared to those from prior years; they can serve as a baseline for future years.
