Understanding NYS Accountability
New York State’s accountability system is grounded in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and implemented by the New York State Education Department (NYSED). Its purpose is to identify schools that need support, ensure equitable outcomes for student subgroups, and require continuous improvement planning.
The Hudson City School District has been identified as in need of Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI). TSI focuses on student subgroups, not the whole school. A school is identified for TSI when one or more student subgroups consistently underperform compared to state expectations, even if the school’s overall performance is acceptable.
