State Names Dedham Level 2 School District

DEDHAM, MA — A new report from the state shows that the six Dedham schools didn't meet all their accountability goals.

In their latest report, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education classified the Dedham Public Schools as a Level 2 district. All six schools are also Level 2 schools.

All schools in the state and districts are classified into five levels with one being the highest and five being the lowest.

The progress and performance index combines information about narrowing proficiency gaps, growth, and graduation and dropout rates over multiple years into a single number, according to the DESE. All districts, schools, and student subgroups receive an annual PPI based on improvement over a two-year period and a cumulative score based on four years of data. For a group to be considered to be making progress toward narrowing proficiency gaps, its cumulative PPI must be 75 or higher.

Districts are classified by their lowest performing school.
