New Parent Dashboard for the State of Michigan
Welcome to the Parent Dashboard for School Transparency
JANUARY 10, 2018
The Parent Dashboard is filled with important school-level information that parents and others say they want to know about Michigan public schools, including charter schools.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdeIf4FQPh0
We need your feedback on this new tool. After you’ve explored the Parent Dashboard, please take a moment to complete a brief survey about your experience. You will be returned to the Parent Dashboard when you are done with the survey.
Whether you are looking for student-to-staff ratios, attendance information, school assessment scores, or access to college-credit or career-tech programs, the Parent Dashboard provides easy access to valuable measures helpful in providing students a quality education.
This dashboard is Michigan’s newest tool in its commitment to provide transparency about school and district performance. The contents of this dashboard can inform decisions and encourage conversations about how we help all students succeed.
The dashboard is designed to be a “living tool” that will be updated as user feedback and new school data become available.
