On December 3rd, OSPI released for district preview the student, educator, and financial measures that will be part of the public Report Card release on December 17th.
What is the Report Card? The OSPI report card is a reporting tool that provides summary demographics and information on district and school success. The redesign is meant to provide easier access to data about schools for parents and the public. The project is using an iterative approach with the first release focusing on meeting federal requirements under ESSA, which include measures used in the Washington School Improvement Framework, such as regular attendance, dual credit participation, and 9th grade on-track. Other measures around student performance, educators and school finance will also be included.
