Schools can receive Standard of Excellence (SOE) status by meeting certain criteria based on student performance on state assessments, as well as the school leaders' and teachers' skills and abilities. Being named a State Standard of Excellence School is the highest honor a school can receive. The conditions that must be met are as follows:
- First, the percent of students classified in the advanced category must be at or above an established minimum value.
- Second, the percent of students classified in the unsatisfactory category must be at or below a designated maximum value.
- Third, the cumulative percentages across the categories going from unsatisfactory to advanced must meet or exceed predetermined values. In other words, a certain percent of students must be proficient or above, satisfactory or above, and basic or above.
