New Essential Skills Report

A new Essential Skills report will be released to the public January 29, 2013 along with the 2011-12 Dropout and Cohort Graduation Rate reports. A preview of the 2011-12 Essential Skills report will be made available to districts through the Report Card/Accountability Reporting Validation site.

There will be separate Essential Skills reports for regular diplomas and modified diplomas, based on the 2008-09 adjusted cohort. Each report will be disaggregated by district and subgroup, showing the number and percent who met essential skills via: 1) OAKS assessments; 2) other standardized tests (e.g. SAT); and 3) other means (e.g. work samples). The reports will also summarize OAKS assessment results for each of these three categories.
