Average daily attendance (year-to-date)
The Profiles area of Reporting on the My Schoolnet navigation tab delivers a packaged set of configurable, standardized metrics called Key Performance Indicators (KPIsA Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is a quantifiable metric that an organization can develop to help understand and gauge its performance. When properly configured and regularly monitored, KPIs are useful in the following ways: • They reflect the critical success factors of an organization • They help an organization measure overall progress toward its defined goals • They can alert leaders, team members, and others about how well an organization is functioning • They can highlight an organization’s outstanding aspects--both good and bad • They can help an organization compare its performance to that of other, similar organizations.). The KPI Overviews shown in this widget appear in two-row tabs. If your settings allow you to view more tabs than the widget can display, a "More" tab appears. The "More" tab is a dropdown that displays additional tab names. Click on a tab name to view that tab and its content overview.
The Key Performance Indicators available in Reporting can help you evaluate and compare schools, grade levels, subgroups, and other important factors. Please note that KPIs must be set up in the Reporting System Operations page (see the Reporting: System Operator Guide for more details) and are configured at a district-wide level; they cannot be altered for other lower levels views (e.g., region, school).
Because KPIs offer an immediate means of evaluation and comparison, it’s important to understand each metric, ensure that it offers a meaningful way for your organization to measure its progress, and configure it to yield useful information. Below is the list of all possible Key Performance Indicators that may appear in your Profiles.
If some of the KPIs below are not included in your Profiles, and/or you want to learn more about the specific configuration of each, please speak with your system's support staff and/or refer to the Reporting: System Operator Guide and Reporting System Operations page .
Description
Calculation
Average daily attendance (year-to-date)
Average daily attendance (year-to-date) reveals the day-by-day attendance rate for an institutionInstitution refers to a school, region, district, or state., using the number of days that school has been in session for the current school year and the number of students currently enrolled.
(Sum total of actual days present for currently enrolled students at any institution during the current school year) / (Sum total number of days attended by all students currently enrolled in the institution)
This KPI uses a student's year-to-date attendance records. Attendance rates from another school attended during the current school year will be included.
Students chronically absent (%)
The percentage of currently enrolled students who have been absent more than <#> school days, where <#> refers to the threshold number. (Thresholds are the numeric tipping point beyond which student behavior registers in a KPI's calculations.)
(Number of currently enrolled students whose attendance rate falls below the district-defined threshold of <#> days) / (Total number of currently enrolled students)
Attendance rate is defined as: (One student's number of days present) / (Total number of days school has been in session during the current year across all schools).
Students chronically tardy (%)
The percentage of currently enrolled students who have been tardy more than <#> days, where # refers to the threshold number.
(Thresholds are the numeric tipping point beyond which student behavior registers in a KPI's calculations.)
(Number of currently enrolled students whose rate of tardiness rises above the district-defined threshold of <#> days) / (Total number of current
The total number of currently enrolled students.
No calculation is used: this is simply the total number of students currently enrolled.
Limited English Proficiency (% enrollment)
The percentage of current students who are enrolled in Limited English Proficiency (LEP) programs.
(Total number of students who are enrolled in Limited English Proficiency (LEP) programs/ (Total number of students who are enrolled in the school
Special Education programs (% enrollment)
The percentage of currently enrolled students who are enrolled in Special Education programs.
(Total number of students who are enrolled in Special Education programs) / (Total number of students who are enrolled in the school)
Most recent Math benchmark test (% proficient)
The percentage of students who met or exceeded a school district-defined level of proficiency on the most recent Mathematics benchmark test.
(Number of students who scored proficient or above on the most recent Mathematics benchmark test) / (Total number of students who had taken at least one Mathematics benchmark test during the current school year)
This KPI uses student performance from assessments that are mapped to the system-defined benchmark test category.
Most recent Literacy benchmark test (% proficient)
The percentage of students who met or exceeded a school district-defined level of proficiency on the most recent Literacy benchmark test.
(Number of students who scored proficient or above on the most recent Literacy benchmark test) / (Total number of students who had taken at least one Literacy benchmark during the current school year)
This KPI uses student performance from assessments that are mapped to the system-defined benchmark test category.
Most recent Social Studies benchmark test (% proficient)
The percentage of students who met or exceeded a school district-defined level of proficiency on the most recent Literacy benchmark test.
(Number of students who scored proficient or above on the most recent Social Studies benchmark test) / (Total number of students who had taken at least one Social Studies benchmark test during the current school year)
This KPI uses student performance from assessments that are mapped to the system-defined benchmark test category.
Most recent Science benchmark test (% proficient)
The percentage of students who met or exceeded a school district-defined level of proficiency on the most recent Literacy benchmark test.
(Number of students who scored proficient or above on the most recent Science benchmark test) / (Total number of students who had taken at least one Science benchmark test during the current school year)
This KPI uses student performance from assessments that are mapped to the system-defined benchmark test category.
Standardized Mathematics test (%proficient)
The percentage of students who met or exceeded a district-defined level of proficiency on a standardized test Mathematics section*.
*Depends on configurations chosen by the System Operator in Reporting > NCLB > Test Definitions
(Total number of currently enrolled students who took the defined test--for the year, grade level and subject--and scored at or above proficiency) / (Total number of currently enrolled students who took the defined test for the defined year, grade level and subject)
Standardized Literacy test (% proficient)
The percentage of students who met or exceeded a district-defined level of proficiency on a standardized test ELA section*.
*Based on configurations chosen by the System Operator in Reporting > NCLB > Test Definitions
(Total number of currently enrolled students who took the defined test--for the year, grade level and subject--and scored at or above proficiency) / (Total number of currently enrolled students who took the defined test for the defined year, grade level and subject)
Students who have been suspended (%)
The percentage of currently enrolled students who have been suspended at any institution at least once during the current school year.
(Total number of currently enrolled students who have been suspended at least once during the current school year at any institution) / (Total number of currently enrolled students at this institution)
Students who have committed disciplinary infractions (%)
The percentage of currently enrolled students who have committed a disciplinary infraction during the current school year.
(Total number of infractions registered by currently enrolled students during the current year) / (Total number of students currently enrolled)
Dropout rate
Dropout rate reveals the rate at which currently enrolled students for the current school year have dropped out from the institution in the current school year.

Attendance Spikes (% chance of issue)
The Attendance Anomaly Index KPI reveals changes in attendance between the current school year and previous school years during similar times of the year. These data can be helpful in identifying localized health or environmental issues.
This KPI looks at the current attendance by institution and compares it to that institution's attendance during the same time period over the last two years. The higher the value the higher the spike in absences in the current school year.
In addition to the KPI data provided, there are a series of Related Reports that may be included for each. These may be accessed by clicking on the KPI indicator.
