A benchmark for determining program effectiveness can either be short-term or long-term.A third type of benchmark could be a comparison to similar type-entities.

Some short-term benchmarks for determining the effectiveness of a high school could be a set of desired outcomes. Some outcomes to track would be number students who graduate on time, attendance rate, scores on proficiency tests for the current year.An auditor could also look at long-term effectiveness by measuring historical data of the same nature. For example these outcomes for the past 10 years. The auditor could see if graduation rates, for example, have gone up, stayed the same, or gone down.An auditor could also compare short-term and long-term outputs, such as total number of students enrolled, total number needing extra tutoring sessions, or number of students that graduate.

Some efficiency indicators that could be measured against other similar type-entities, such as high schools in other towns could be cost per classroom or number of students taught per teacher.The cost per classroom could tell if resources are being utilized efficiently, such as a lower costs per classroom than another school that has high performance ratings. Or, you could measure the graduation rates against the number of students taught per teacher to see if there is a correlation there.Does fewer students to teacher result in better performance? How does that compare to schools with fewer students per teacher, the same number of students per teacher, or a school that has more students per teacher.
