Take a moment to check out the District’s new School Profiles website! The improvements to the previous School Profiles site are based on guidance and feedback from parents, community groups, principals, a market research consultant, and numerous SDP program offices.

Importantly, the new School Profiles link directly to the District’s 2020-21 Reopening Readiness Dashboard website, and each District school’s profile page links to the School’s 2020-21 Reopening Readiness report.

Key improvements to the School Profiles site include:

  • Enhanced layout and design,
  • A simplified view of the data,
  • More explanatory text,
  • A feature that allows viewers to compare schools on key metrics,
  • Improved alignment between Key Performance Indicators and District Goals,,
  • Links to ‘At a glance’ websites for Special Admissions high schools,
  • Dynamic charts that allow the user to apply filters by student group (e.g., gender, race/ethnicity, IEP, and EL status),
  • Enhanced accessibility for end-users with disabilities,
  • Translation for end-users available using Google Chrome translate, and
  • Built-in video tutorials and User Guide to assist visitors to the site.

A note for principals: School location and leadership information are pulled from the EOS (formerly ULCS) system. If data are incorrect for your school, please correct the necessary values in EOS.
