Three New Data Sets – Now Available in Profiles

Per the latest Commissioner's Email Update, ESE has recently added the following three new data sets to School/District Profiles.
  • 2012-13 Enrollment: New district and school reports to reflect 2012-13 enrollment include enrollment by grade, race/gender, and selected populations.
  • Attrition: This data set looks at attrition across school years. Users can filter the data by school year, district or school levels, and various subgroups. Clicking on an individual district or school will show all of the subgroups for that entity. To view the data, go to http://profiles.doe.mass.edu/state_report/attrition.aspx.
  • MassCore Completion: This data set reflects the percent of graduates who have completed the MassCore curriculum as reported by districts. While we acknowledge there are data quality issues within this data set, by publishing the data, we expect the quality of the reporting will improve. In future years, ESE will use its own course scheduling data collection to supplement the district-reported data. The data are online at http://profiles.doe.mass.edu/state_report/masscore.aspx
Please note that the links above will take you to the state report showing the data for all districts/schools. From an individual school or district Profiles page, these new reports can all be found under the "Student" tab.
