Louisiana’s next school and district performance scores will mark a new starting point rather than a direct comparison with earlier years, the Department of Education says.
Scores for the 2025 to 2026 school year are due December 1 at 11 a.m. They will be the first official results under the revised Grow. Achieve. Thrive. accountability system, according to the department’s November 10 newsletter.
State Superintendent Cade Brumley says the system raises expectations and emphasizes preparation for careers or college. It will also recognize military enlistment for the first time.
The department has provided optional communication materials to help schools explain the changes to families.
