Why use these reports?
To tell a more accurate story of your school district
Simply reporting percentages from state data does not give the full picture of student achievement. Metrics reported from the state 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 Data Briefs convert 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:
- 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 the state data 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.
