2021-22 Report Card Resources

Resources for 2021-22 Report Cards

These resources are specific to the 2021-22 school and district report cards, which were released in the Fall of 2022.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, please use caution when interpreting scores and ratings. Careful review of the detailed data on all pages is encouraged. Additionally, take into consideration that multiple years of data are used throughout the report card in most of the priority area scores:

• Achievement and Growth require two years of data (2021-22 and 2020-21 required) and may use up to three years of data (including 2018-19).
• The graduation, attendance, and absenteeism components in On-Track to Graduation use lagged data (from 2020-21) and absenteeism scores may use up to three years of data (including 2019-20 and 2018-19).
• Target Group Outcomes follows the same rules as the Achievement, Growth, and On-Track to Graduation priority areas including lagged data as well as multiple years of data.

Please see the Report Card Weighting Calculator to learn more about how priority areas are reweighted when data for a particular priority area are not available.
