They are really three things. First, they are a library of visual representations of data about schools and districts. Second, they are a vault of ten years’ of data about your school or district, as well as data about a bunch of schools or districts with students highly similar to your own. Third, they are a method of measuring relative strengths and challenges.
In sum, they are a body of evidence presented in visual form, ready for your leadership team to use to answer the question (in its many forms): “How are we doing compared to other schools or districts like us?”
Two tools comprise the set we offer. The Assessment Explorer contains results about the CAASPP, and because we stretch to deliver you ten years of data, the CST as well. The Planning Explorer contains the evidence you need for writing your district’s LCAP or your schools’ SPSAs. See the table-of-contents for the district level Assessment Explorer. Or see the table-of-contents for the district level Planning Explorer.
