High Reliability Level 5

Marzano High Reliability Schools (HRS) are based on the work of educational researcher Dr. Robert J. Marzano. The HRS framework provides a systematic approach for schools to achieve five levels of reliability, with Level 5 being the highest level of achievement.

To be designated as a Level 5 Marzano High Reliability School, a school has demonstrated mastery in all five levels of the framework:

Level 1: Safe and Collaborative Culture
Level 2: Effective Teaching in Every Classroom
Level 3: Guaranteed and Viable Curriculum
Level 4: Standards-Referenced Reporting
Level 5: Competency-Based Education 

Level 5 schools have transitioned to a competency-based education model where student progress is based on mastery of specific knowledge, skills, and competencies rather than seat time or age-based grade levels. This allows for personalized learning experiences tailored to individual student needs and ensures that all students can progress at their own pace. Achieving Level 5 status as a Marzano High Reliability School indicates that the school has successfully implemented and sustained all aspects of the HRS framework, resulting in a high level of reliability and effectiveness in promoting student learning and success.
