On Dec. 14, 2023, the California Department of Education updated the official California School Dashboard with the latest data for schools and districts. You can also view results for 2019, 2018, and 2017.* The dashboard shows achievement and progress, or lack of it, on multiple measures in color codes tied to performance metrics by the state. Enter a search term in the box to search by school, city, district or county. If a school or district does not appear, it means that no data is available. Detailed test scores are available on cells with an “i” (click to see more). For a full explanation, see the notes below the chart.

* The 2022 California School Dashboard only displays that year of results, without comparisons to the previous year, due to the disruptions caused by the pandemic.

Notes to Database

Color Codes and Ratings: The dashboard includes five color-coded performance levels, based on a combination of current performance level and change over the previous year. The color spectrum ranges from red to orange to yellow to green to blue, with red signifying the lowest performance level and blue the highest.

More information about how the performance levels were calculated is available at the California Department of Education’s website here.

Column Headings:

Chronic Absenteeism: Proportion of students who miss 10 percent or more of the school year — 18 or more days (high school grades excluded).

Suspension Rates: Based on a combination of current suspension rates and changes in those rates over time.
