Through the Reading Readiness Dashboard, Georgians can access information on the percentage of students reading below, on, and above grade level for every school, district, and Regional Educational Service Agency (RESA) region in the state. The dashboard will allow users to sort by student subgroups or directly compare school, district, or regional data with state averages.
“Our aim is to provide unparalleled public access to literacy results,” Superintendent Woods said. “We are committed to ensuring every student in Georgia can learn to read, and ultimately read to learn – and that goal is only furthered by the greater transparency and accountability around our results offered by the Reading Readiness Dashboard. The dashboard provides a common source of information on our progress as we join together to improve literacy outcomes for every child.”
According to the press release, this dashboard will not only show the percentage of students reading below and above grade level with the state literacy metric that sorts performance into below grade level, grade level, grade level plus, and above grade level. Users can filter the data by grade level and student subgroups. All information is from the Georgia Milestones Reading status and based on the Lexile scores associated with the student’s performance on a subset of questions on the English Language Arts (ELA) assessment.
