Data for Performance Data Analysis

A wide range of data could be included in this analysis including local and state level achievement and growth, early learning measures, promotion, dropout, and graduation rates, behavior and discipline as well as some process related data such as surveys. State level data sources are accessible on the CDE website.

The CDE has also compiled two reference documents providing basic guidance for using local assessment data from iReady or NWEA MAP:
