State Accountability Data Tools & Reports

Performance Frameworks Reports and Unified Improvement Plans

District and School Performance Frameworks are used to determine performance ratings under the state accountability system. Unified Improvement Plans document the strategies that districts and schools implement as part of the continuous improvement cycle. Go here to access reports for individual districts and schools in PDF format. Reports for the current year and for prior years going back to 2010 are available.

Release/Refresh Timeline: The official Framework results are released in December. For most schools and districts, UIPs are required to be submitted in October, but may be updated throughout the year.

School and District Dashboard

The Dashboards are made up of a suite of reports that have been designed to support improvement planning efforts by districts and schools. The dashboards allow users to interact with graphs and tables showing demographic information along with performance data and ratings generated under the state accountability system. Use this online tool to view current information for individual schools and districts along with several years of historical data. An annotated version of this dashboard for the 2024-25 school year is available.

Release/Refresh Timeline: Dashboards are refreshed with achievement, growth, and other performance data each summer when state assessment results become available, typically in August. 

Performance Snapshot

The Performance Snapshot provides an overview of key elements from the most recent District and School Transitional Performance Framework Reports and Unified Improvement Plans. This report is primarily designed for users with existing knowledge of the performance frameworks and improvement planning process, but provides a significant amount of explanatory information that may make it accessible to broader audiences. Use this tool to access reports for individual districts and schools.

Release/Refresh Timeline: The Performance Snapshot is refreshed in December with the release of final Framework results.

State Accountability Data Explorer

This online tool provides access to graphs and tables showing performance outcome measures calculated at the state, district, and school levels. These measures encompass the metrics used within the state performance frameworks, but also provide access to a broader set of information that may be used to support improvement planning efforts or to facilitate other types of evaluation and analysis. Data tables can be exported to spreadsheets, and graphs can be downloaded in PDF format or as image files.

Release/Refresh Timeline: This tool is refreshed with achievement and growth performance data and with test participation data each summer when state assessment results become available, typically in August or early September.
