California School Dashboard
ABOUT CALIFORNIA SCHOOL DASHBOARD
The California School Dashboard provides parents and educators with meaningful information on school and district progress so they can participate in decisions to improve student learning. Further, it provides targets and clear metrics to support district focus around school improvement and monitoring as a way to ensure all students are demonstrating college and career readiness.
The accountability indicators are as follows for LNSD:
- Academic (ELA and Math) (3 – 8)
- Suspension (K – 12)
- Chronic Absenteeism (K – 8)
- English Learner Progress (ELPI) (K – 8)
WHY A NEW SYSTEM AND A NEW TOOL?
California is committed to informing communities about how well our schools are doing. California’s future success depends on tapping into the potential of all students, so they graduate ready for college, careers, and life. For schools to reach this goal, teachers, parents, and the community need clear and useful measures of progress. As an accountability tool, the Dashboard will help the state identify schools (including charter schools) and districts needing targeted assistance.
In the past, accountability systems for districts and schools relied heavily on test scores. But one test taken on one particular day doesn’t provide a complete picture of all the ways schools are helping students succeed.
Think of it this way: You can’t drive a car by only watching the speedometer. You also keep your eye on the road, check the mirrors, monitor the gas tank and pay attention if the engine light comes on. Similarly, the Dashboard provides information on different aspects of student performance, which will give a more complete picture of a school’s progress. The Dashboard also reports on growth to show a school’s trajectory over time.
