CA School Dashboard
Teachers use more than just test scores to determine how well a student is doing because test scores alone don’t tell the whole story. And the same is true for schools – test scores are only part of a bigger picture of school success. That’s why the California School Dashboard contains a range of easy-to-use, color-coded gauges designed to give families a complete picture of a school or district. The Dashboard includes meaningful data on graduation rates, college/career readiness, attendance, English learner progress, suspensions and more. The state has created several videos – translated into Spanish – to help you learn about the Dashboard and how to use it. Find them on the California Department of Education’s YouTube channel!
The Dashboard reports on multiple measures that assess how the district and individual schools are meeting the needs of our students. The Dashboard reports PERFORMANCE and PROGRESS on both state measures as well as those identified by the district. These measures are taken from the priority areas of the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF). Information is organized by school and by district for test scores, graduation rates, school attendance, college/career readiness and suspensions.
