Five-by-Five Colored Tables
The accountability system combines five Status and Change levels creating a five-by-five color placement grid that produces twenty-five results.Performance on the state measures is calculated based on data from current and prior years resulting in five color-coded performance levels for each indicator. From highest to lowest the performance levels are: Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Red.
The five color-coded performance levels are calculated using percentiles to create a five-by-five colored table (giving 25 results) that combine data from the current and prior years.
This section provides the five-by-five colored table for each of the state indicators:
- Chronic Absenteeism
- Suspension Rate
- English Learner Progress Indicator
- Graduation Rate Indicator
- Academic Indicator
- College/Career

Suspension Rate Indicator Five-by-Five Colored Tables
Unlike other indicators, which use LEA-level distributions to set the cut scores for Status and Change, the Suspension Rate Indicator is based on multiple distributions. Therefore, multiple suspension cut scores were set for both LEAs and schools, based on their type. This resulted in six different sets of cut scores for Status and Change:
- Three sets based on LEA type distributions (elementary, high, and unified)
- Three sets based on school type distributions (elementary, middle, and high)

Note: California has transitioned to a new English proficiency assessment: the English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC). Because the ELPAC is a new test, the five-by-five colored table and performance levels (color) are not available for the 2018 Dashboard.
