What it measures

One task, one definition, one age band, repeated. Comparability is the whole product.

District spread, reported as the gap between the top and bottom decile rather than as a mean.

What it does not measure

School quality. A district's score moves for reasons that have nothing to do with its teachers.

Anything about individual schools. We do not publish school-level data and will not.

This tracker can be suspended, publicly.

A tracker whose census falls below 50% [A]+[B] for two consecutive releases is suspended until the inputs improve. That rule is not negotiable by a funder.
