| Abstract: |
Over the years, the nation's large urban school districts have consistently learned from the progress of their peer districts across the country. Great City School districts that have embraced the challenge of educating America's urban children have recognized the value of benchmarking their performance and growth against the progress of others. The authorization of the Performance Measurement and Benchmarking Project to develop and implement key performance indicators across the member school districts in operations, business services, finances, human resources, and technology was followed by the authorization of the Academic Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to gauge performance. The 2024 report presents an updated set of data through school year 2022-23. This report presents a number of different ways that member districts can analyze the data themselves by disaggregating results, showing trends, and combining variables. Along with the print report, a companion online dashboard was updated that adds the ability to conduct several comparisons and analysis beyond what is presented in this report. This report focuses on the data collection and analysis of the following Academic KPIs: (1) Pre-K enrollment relative to Kindergarten enrollment; (2) Algebra I completion rates for credit by grade 9; (3) Ninth grade course failure rates--at least one core course; (4) Ninth graders with B average (GPA) or better; (5) Absentee rates by grade level; (6) Suspension rates; (7) Instructional days missed per 100 students due to suspensions; (8) AP participation rates; (9) AP-equivalent participation rates; (10) AP exam pass rates; and (11) Four-year graduation rate. |
