CA Dashboard School Accountability Information
The California School Dashboard (CA Dashboard) is a tool designed to provide parents, educators, and community members with insights into the performance of schools and districts across the state. Its primary purpose is to make data about school performance accessible, transparent, and actionable, focusing on various key areas, such as academic achievement, attendance, suspension rates, college and career readiness, and English learner progress.

For families in the Whittier City School District, the CA Dashboard serves as a resource to evaluate how well the district is meeting both state and local expectations. It highlights strengths and areas for improvement using color-coded performance indicators and trend data. Families can use this information to better understand:

  1. Academic Progress: How students are performing in core subjects like English and mathematics.
  2. Equity: Whether student subgroups (e.g., by race, economic status, or language proficiency) are experiencing equitable outcomes.
  3. School Climate: Data on attendance and suspension rates as measures of the learning environment.
  4. Local Goals: Progress toward district-specific objectives outlined in the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP).

By examining this data, families gain a clearer picture of the district's overall performance, can celebrate successes, and identify areas that may require more support or advocacy for improvement. It also encourages a collaborative approach to addressing challenges and ensuring that every student has the resources and opportunities needed to succeed.
