Small School Audit is designed especially for school districts with enrollments of less than 2,500 students, and is based on the methodology and approach of the curriculum management audit.

Program-Specific Audit is based upon generally accepted principles pertaining to effective instruction and curricular design and delivery. Each program-specific audit focuses on a content area or areas selected by the school system: reading/language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, special education, and vocational-technical education. This audit report is often described as a blueprint from which a school system can plan the improvement of teaching and learning in the system. [Curriculum/Instruction/Assessment]

Individual School Audit is a diagnostic process designed to reveal the extent to which the administrators and professional staff of a school, in conjunction with district officials, have developed and implemented a sound, valid, and operational approach for high student achievement performance. This audit is a key piece of data for any school desiring a detailed, diagnostic report focused on those factors shown to improve student achievement. [Curriculum/Instruction/Assessment]
