The Parent Dashboard is a user-friendly website created by the 澳门特码王 (NYSED) to increase transparency and make it easier for parents to find essential information about the schools their children attend. The purpose of the dashboard is to make school data, such as performance indicators and general enrollment details, easy to find and understand. Statistics such as enrollment numbers, average class size, test scores, graduation rates, school climate, demographics, and accountability designations will afford parents a transparent account of all 澳门特码王 public schools. Designed with input from parents and other stakeholders, the dashboard provides information that is both illustrative and useful and serves the unique needs of parents and the public of 澳门特码王.

The Parent Dashboard provides easy access to the following school-level data elements:

• Student Enrollment and Ethnicity
• Average Class Size
• School Climate
• Accountability Status
• Assessment Results
• Financial Transparency
• Graduation Rate
• College, Career, and Civic Readiness
• School/District Location and Contact Information

澳门特码王鈥檚 ESSA plan emphasizes equity in education for all students and expands measures of school accountability and student success. One element of the State鈥檚 ESSA plan is the creation of the Parent Dashboard. In addition to providing easy access to data on all NYS public schools, the Parent Dashboard also provides resources for parents such as fact sheets; videos; information about school climate; supporting English language learners and students with disabilities; transparency; school and district accountability designations; the Next Generation Learning Standards; Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education; high school graduation requirements; data privacy and security; and more.

Every spring, the Grades 3-8 English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics and science Tests are administered to students across 澳门特码王. These annual ELA, math and science tests for students in grades 3-8 are required by the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015. (Note: Administration of the 2020 elementary and middle level State assessments was suspended听due to school closures as a result of COVID-19.)

Although assessments represent only a small part of the total picture, the tests are designed to measure how well students are mastering the learning standards that guide classroom instruction and help to ensure that students are on track to graduate from high school with the critical thinking, problem solving, and reasoning skills needed for success in college and the workplace. The tests also show how schools and districts are progressing with the learning standards and can be used to support professional development for teachers.

Graduation Rate is determined at the secondary level using the four-year, five-year, and six-year graduation rate total cohorts as of June 30th of the year preceding the reporting year. Students in the cohorts are considered graduates if they earned a local or Regents diploma as of August 31st of the year preceding the reporting year.

Cohort year is determined by the student鈥檚 first date of entry into grade 9. The cohort graduation rates are a calculation of the percentage of students who have graduated with a high school diploma within a designated number of years since the student first entered high school. The rate is calculated for a cohort of students who have all entered high school for the first time during the same school year, for example:

• Students in a 4-year cohort all entered high school for the first time during the school year that is four years prior to the end of August of the graduation reporting year.
• Students in a 5-year cohort all entered high school for the first time during the school year that is five years prior to the end of August of the graduation reporting year, and
• Students in a 6-year cohort all entered high school for the first time during the school year that is six year prior to the end of August of the graduation reporting year.

College, Career, and Civic Readiness (CCCR) is an indication of how well the school has prepared its students for life beyond high school, including how well they are prepared to be involved in activities important to being a productive citizen and whether they plan to attend college or get a job after high school. A school is awarded a level of 1-4 for how well it prepares its students for life beyond high school, with 4 being the highest level a school can earn.

The Every Student Succeeds Act, or ESSA, the main federal law for K-12 public education, aims to ensure all children get a quality education. The law requires that states hold public schools accountable for how students achieve. To help accomplish this, 澳门特码王 has created a new accountability system that classifies schools into one of four categories: Local Support and Improvement (LSI), Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI), Additional Targeted Support and Improvement (ATSI), or Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI). Accountability systems provide opportunities to learn from high-performing schools and direct funds and resources to districts and schools that need to improve.

Parents and families should know how their child鈥檚 school is performing in many areas, not just academic subjects. Schools and districts are measured annually on multiple indicators in order to provide parents and families with a more complete picture of their child鈥檚 school.

We encourage all parents to reach out to their child鈥檚 school for more information about programming, opportunities, and additional ways to get involved.

To learn more about these designations and our accountability system, read our resources for parents available on our Accountability website:

• Accountability Fact Sheets for Parents
• ESSA Accountability Designation Resources

A听District can either be in Good Standing or a Target District. Districts identified for Local Support and Improvement (LSI) do not have any schools identified for Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI), Additional Targeted Support and Improvement (ATSI), or Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI) and have not been identified for the low performance of a district-level accountability subgroup by a set of identification criteria.

A Target District is a district that has at least one school identified for CSI, ATSI, or TSI or that have been identified for the low performance of one or more accountability groups at the district level.

Districts may be removed from Target District identification upon a finding by the Commissioner of extenuating or extraordinary circumstances.
