ECS School Accountability and "Report Cards" DatabaseThis 50-state database includes 1) the indicators states use to gauge school performance (what gets measured), 2) what gets reported, and 3) how state leaders are publicly reporting on school performance to parents and others. Letter grades for schools, which have been controversial in some states, appear to be an increasingly popular tool for policymakers. (Marga Mikulecky, Kathy Christie, 2013)
