One of the goals of the SCS (also called SIMS Expansion) project is to provide a series of new analytical reports that examine factors such as class size, teacher and student characteristics, courses of study and other factors on student performance as measured by marks, completion rates and MCAS scores. (This process along with a report preview was presented at the Southeast Data Institute and the presentation and related materials are available online.)
Five of these analytical reports are now available in the EDW in Public Folders > ESE SCS Analytical Reports:
- Classes Taught by Highly Qualified Teachers;
- Teacher Retention by School Poverty Level;
- Class Size by Course Level and by School Poverty Level;
- Course Completions and Passing Rates; and
- Student Marks Distribution by Class Size
Please note that these reports include the certified data for your own district plus statewide data from the 378 districts that certified their collections on time. The EDW team requests that users review the SCS Report Release Notes in that same folder, and understand that these reports may be modified as the data are reviewed.
