Attendance & Suspensions
Attendance and suspension pages display the historical data summaries of chronic absenteeism rate, average daily attendance, and unduplicated suspension rates. Data is pulled from PowerSchool Student Management System at the end of a school year.
School Climate
The District School Climate Survey is administered annually to gather information on the school culture and climate at the school level. The survey is voluntary to all participants and is shared with students, teachers, non-instructional school-based staff, and parents and guardians (or families and caregivers). The District’s School Climate Survey questions are based on the student, teacher, staff, and guardian surveys from Panorama Education. Given the student focus of this dashboard and the limited sample size for staff and guardian survey participants, this current page displays the summary of student responses from the survey administration.
