Indicators
This Dashboard color represents the highest level of performance on any indicator.
What is Blue?
In 2025, this subject is Green with about 49.6 science points, making it our strongest academic indicator.
What is Science?
In Chronic Absenteeism, this subgroup is Blue with only 0.9% chronically absent, showing strong engagement in an IS/online setting.
Who are English Learners?
If our current results are “high” but we declined, the Dashboard color will come from combining these two ideas on the grid.
What are our Status and our Change?
This staff member runs small groups with English Learners, uses Rosetta Stone, and focuses on LTELs and at-risk LTELs.
Who is the ELD Coordinator? (Amy Alvarado)
The Dashboard groups indicators into three big buckets: Academic Performance, Academic Engagement, and this third area.
What is Conditions & Climate?
These two subjects are Yellow but improved by 11.3 and 17.4 points from last year.
What are English Language Arts (up 11.3 points) and Math (up 17.4 points)?
In ELA, this racial/ethnic subgroup is Yellow, 56.7 points below standard, but improved by 26.4 points—one of our biggest positive jumps.
Who are African American students?
ELA moved from Orange to Yellow because we gained 11.3 points, even though we are still below standard. Which side of the grid, Status or Change, drove that improvement?
What is Change?
To boost equity, we’re using this type of support (Tier 2/Tier 3) for students flagged by STAR 360, CAASPP, or ELPAC results.
What is targeted tutoring and intensive support (e.g., tutoring/office hours/check-ins)?
Name two of the four Academic Performance indicators on the Dashboard.
What are any two of: English Language Arts, Math, English Learner Progress, or College/Career Readiness?
Our Chronic Absenteeism indicator is Blue with this approximate percent of students chronically absent in 2025
What is 1.6% chronically absent?
In Math, this subgroup is Red, about 97.6 points below standard, and declined 10.8 points—a key equity focus area.
Who are Hispanic students?
Because SLA-East has dramatically lowered Chronic Absenteeism over time, our Status is Very Low and our Change is Declined. What Dashboard color does that combination give us?
What is Blue?
To strengthen College & Career Readiness, SLA-East hired more of these staff members and had them build partnerships with local colleges and businesses.
Who are school counselors?
This engagement indicator shows the percent of students who miss 10% or more of school and is a major strength for SLA-East.
What is Chronic Absenteeism?
Our Graduation Rate is Green after increasing 7.4 points. What is our 2025 graduation percentage?
What is 93.8%?
In Science, this subgroup is Green with roughly 54.1 science points and increased 5 points, out-performing the overall school.
Who are White students?
When groups are small (fewer than about 150 students), the Dashboard uses this smaller grid instead of the full 5×5 to keep results from swinging wildly.
What is the 3×5 grid?
Our 2025–26 assessment plan includes continued training on these systems so teachers can use data to guide instruction. Name one.
What is STAR 360, CAASPP/ELPAC, or CAST Interim Assessments? (Any one is correct.)
Dashboard colors come from crossing two dimensions on a 5×5 grid. Name both dimensions.
What are Status and Change?
This indicator is an area for improvement: it’s Orange, with about 35.6% of students prepared and a decline of 4.9 points from last year.
What is College & Career Readiness?
In College & Career Readiness, this subgroup is Orange, with about 34.1% prepared and a decline of 8.3 points from last year.
Who are Socioeconomically Disadvantaged students?
Explain why a subgroup with very low Status but an “increased” Change doesn’t automatically become Blue.
Because the color is based on the combination of Status and Change—if Status is still low or very low, even improved Change will usually land the group in Yellow/Orange instead of Blue/Green.
In our Equity Focus, we commit to breaking orange and yellow subgroups into smaller bands using two kinds of data (for example, “by ______ score and ______ benchmark”) so we can design precise small-group instructio
What are scale scores and STAR 360 benchmarks (and/or grade level bands)?
