MSCS Compass Updates and New Releases
Report Updates:
- Filters for students in the Bottom 25% in English, Math, Science, and Social Studies have been updated with 2023-2024 data. These can be found using the Group and Group Type filters in most dashboards (Student Attendance, Student Enrollment, Student Discipline, Student Assessment, Student Grades, Tutoring, High School Progress, District 360, RTI2-A, and Summer Learning Academy). For more on filtering, click here.
- Data for the 4th 20-Day period is available in the Show Up for Greatness report. Click here to see the user guide for this report.
- In Student Grades, all reports with a student table now have a flag for Core Courses. As defined by the State, Core Courses include English Language & Literature, Life & Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Social Studies & History. Click here for the Student Grades user guides.
- In Student Grades: District Quick Report, new metrics identify the number and percent of 1st-12th grade students failing 1 or more core courses and the number and percent of Kindergarten students with non-Mastery Core Course grades. Click here to see the user guide.
- In Student Grades: Raw Data, two data quality flags have been added. One flag shows Kindergarten students with an incorrect letter grade (Mathematics and English Language & Literature courses should have an M or X. Any non- Math or English courses should have and E, S, N, or U). The other flag identifies courses with missing or inaccurate course codes. Click here to see the user guide for this report.
