Distinction designations are awarded for achievement in several areas and are based on performance relative to a group of campuses of a similar type, size, grade span, and student demographics. A campus earns a distinction designation if it is in the top quartile (Q1) of its comparison group for at least 33 percent (for high schools and K–12 campuses) or 50 percent (for elementary and middle schools) of the indicators used to award the distinction.
