STATE DEMOGRAPHICS

Black, Hispanic, and low-income students have been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, both academically and otherwise. In order to accurately reflect the impact of COVID-19 as well as the impact of recovery measures, each tracker will show what percentage of the student body these subpopulations make up.

STATEWIDE STUDENT OUTCOMES

It’s critical for state and district leaders to continually ask if the way that they are investing COVID federal funds is having a measurable impact on student outcomes.  The goal of this federal money is to address learning loss and get kids back on track.  We cannot take our eyes off this goal. Students outcomes include proficiency data from state assessments, formative assessment data, attendance data, and culture/discipline data.  

A+ will track ACAP proficiency data through the next three school years to see if state and district investments are making an impact on the most important stakeholders: students.
