- All student groups within the school meet state benchmarks in reading and math (75 percent for reading and 70 percent for math) based on the current year pass rate on state assessments (not including growth or English Learner progress), and
- For schools with two student groups, there is no more than five percentage points between the lowest performing group and all other students in the school, or
- For schools with three or more student groups, there is no more than ten percentage points between the lowest performing group and all other students in the school.
