Resources and Technical Documents

Resources on how to read and use the report cards, as well as technical documentation on how the calculations work, for the following report card types: 

• Traditional School and District Report Cards;
• Career Technical Planning District Report Cards; and
• Dropout Prevention and Recovery Report Cards.

In 2021-2022, many of the measures and ratings are new for the traditional district and school report cards. For information on the new report cards, an overview presentation is available for review. For more information on the new system compared to the previous report cards, an accountability system crosswalk is available for review. 

In order to calculate a report card for each school, district and Career Technical Planning District, several accountability rules must apply. For these detailed rules, the “Where Kids Count” document helps to walk through when and where a student will count in a calculation on the report cards. 

Report Card Disclaimers and Release Notes are available on a rolling basis.
