Dashboards are interactive online displays that organize and present school data visually through charts and tables to show key metrics simply. The West Contra Costa Unified School District provides dashboards with eight categories of data including student achievement, engagement, climate, and parent/community engagement. The dashboards publicly share information on critical metrics and progress on goals while making numbers easier for all to understand through graphics.
