California School Dashboard

State Indicators

• Suspension rate: The percentage of students who were suspended at least once during a school year. Students who are suspended multiple times are only counted once.
• English learner progress: The combined percentage of English learner students who showed progress on the English proficiency test (ELPAC) or who were Redesignated as Fluent English Proficient (RFEP). For the Fall 2018 Dashboard, there is no performance color because the ELPAC was new in the 2017-2018 school year.
• English Language Arts: The distance between the average student score and the score needed to achieve standard met on the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) test for English language arts.
• Mathematics: The distance between the average student score and the score needed to achieve standard met on the SBAC test for math.
• Graduation rate: This calculation counts only students who earned a regular high school diploma, not those who earned a certificate of completion, passed the GED, CHSPE, or were transferred to an adult school.
• College/career readiness: The percentage of 12th-grade high school students who were prepared for success after graduation based on a combination of measures, including meeting or exceeding standards on the SBAC state tests, completing all 15 A-G course requirements with a C- or better, performance on Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate tests, completion of a Career Technical Education pathway, or completion of dual enrollment or college-level coursework.
