Why use this report?

To tell a more accurate story of your school district

Simply reporting percentages from the state report card does not give the full picture of student achievement. Metrics reported on state report cards need to be put in context so that the board and community have a more complete picture of how the district is performing. ECRA’s State Report Card Analysis converts raw report card metrics to percentiles that are easier to communicate, easier to understand, more accurate, and more contextualized.

To answer important questions

Percentiles can be used to compare performance across indicators and over time to answer important questions such as:

  • How well is the district recovering from the pandemic?
  • What is the relationship between district spending and student achievement?
  • How have our demographics shifted?
  • How has our learning environment evolved?

To save time

Analyzing data on State Report Cards takes significant time and energy, even for the most productive data scientist. Let the experts at ECRA provide a simple to understand analysis that can be immediately shared with the board and community by a trusted third party.
