- Select a specific year for comparisons and toggle between years as desired
- Select the data elements to be included in the comparison results from a list of all fields or by data category (e.g., summary, student demographic, performance, suspensions/expulsions, finance)
- Add in corresponding state or county data for elements you’ve added
- Filter results using criteria you select (e.g., show districts matching a specific data range such as enrollment between 1-500 students, or show only districts or schools within specific counties)
- Sort each data element from high to low or low to high, or sort districts/schools alphabetically
- Add specific schools or districts into the comparison (e.g., add a high-performing district or a neighboring district or school regardless of the other selection criteria used)
- Export results to Excel
- Eliminate a data element from results if you don’t need it
- “Pin” one or more districts or schools so that they are always displayed in the left-most columns of the results regardless of any sorting performed by the user – allowing you to compare districts/schools of interest with the highest or lowest values in each field
For a step-by-step “how to” directions on using the comparisons, view one of our online tutorials or see our How to Create District or School Comparisons article. Or start making your own comparisons: Compare Schools or Compare Districts.
What is the California School Dashboard?
The California School Dashboard (Dashboard) is an online tool that shows how local educational agencies and schools are performing on state and local indicators that are included in California's school accountability system. Built on the foundations of the Local Control Funding Formula state law, the Dashboard is one of several significant shifts that have occurred in California’s K–12 education system within the past decade, which includes the establishment of a new testing system, raising the bar for student learning, and promoting equity for all students.
Why was the Dashboard created?
The Dashboard was created to give parents and the public a complete picture of what is happening in our schools and districts and to identify those that need extra support. The Dashboard is a component of the Local Control Funding Formula law passed in 2013 that significantly changed how California provides funding to public schools and holds local educational agencies accountable for student performance. The same law also required the California State Board of Education to adopt a new accountability tool that reflects performance in different priority areas, which are now known as the state and local indicators reported on the Dashboard.
What information does the Dashboard include?
The Dashboard is made up of easy-to-use, searchable reports that show local educational agency, school, and student group performance on the following performance indicators:
State Indicators: Chronic Absenteeism, Suspension Rate, English Learner Progress, Graduation Rate, College/Career, English Language Arts, and Mathematics
Local Indicators: Teachers, Instructional Materials, Facilities, Implementation of Academic Standards, Parent and Family Engagement, Local Climate Survey, and Access to Broad Course of Study
