Trend Analysis

Checked Complete & Ready to submit


Directions: Provide a description of trends or patterns identified in the school's data analysis; this description should include three years of data (state and local data) when possible. Trend statements should be provided in the performance indicator areas (i.e., student achievement, student growth, and post-secondary and workforce readiness) and by disaggregated groups. For reference, a dashboard summarizing the school's performance in each indicator is embedded at the bottom of this page (note that this dashboard will not appear in the public UIP). Trend statements should include the direction of the trend, the measure/metric (e.g., the assessment or data source), specific data (e.g., percentages), content area, student population and a comparison point (e.g., state expectations, state average) to indicate why the trend is notable. All trend statements will populate in the data narrative. Trend analysis resources are available at the Performance Data Analysis page and through the School and District Dashboard. View the Quality Criteria for specific expectations in the Trend Analysis section. For systems with numbers that may not meet public reporting thresholds, the resource Data Analysis for Small Student Populations can provide direction for reporting trends.

Example Trend Statement:

This is a notable trend because it is declining and sits well below the state expectation (740.1 MSS) hovering around the 15th percentile. (Source: SPF/DPF)"
