Greetings, CLN 9 Leaders,
We're excited to share our new CLN 9 Data Cleansing Leaderboard (attached). It uses the Data Cleansing Reports (DCRs) to show how each school is doing at keeping student records accurate and complete. Clean data protects our funding, our counts and the services our students receive, so every record you fix matters.
How the leaderboard works:
• Errors per 100 students: Each school's score is its DCR errors for every 100 enrolled students, so large and small schools compete on equal footing. Lower is better.
• Two leagues: Just like our attendance leaderboard, comprehensive schools compete in the Comprehensive School League and our programs compete in the Program League.
• Medals: The three schools with the lowest score in each league earn gold, silver and bronze.
• Tiers: Data Champion (under 30 per 100 students), Contender (30 to 59) and Climber (60 or more).
• Most Improved: Starting with the next report, each league will also recognize the schools with the biggest percent drop in errors.
How to read your school's row: Under your school's name, you will see your total errors, your enrollment and the report where your school has the most errors. That report is the best place for your team to start.
Where we stand: Three reports hold 74% of all DCR errors across CLN 9: DCR 157 (Students Missing Documents), DCR 142 (EL Data Errors) and DCR 138 (Homeless Data Errors). Focusing on these first will move your school up the board the fastest.
Congratulations to our first medalists: Patterson, Digital Harbor and NAF in the High School League, and MAPS, Achievement Academy and Success Academy West in the Program League.
This is meant to be healthy competition. Every record we clean moves all of CLN 9 forward, and I look forward to celebrating your progress with each new report.
Please reach out if you have questions or would like to talk through your school's data.
