Academic Key Performance Indicators, 2022 Report

Over the years, the nation's large urban school districts have consistently learned from the progress of their peer districts across the country. Great City School districts that have embraced the challenge of educating America's urban children have recognized the value of benchmarking their performance and growth against the progress of others. This report presents a number of different ways that member districts can analyze the data themselves by disaggregating results, showing trends, and combining variables. The companion online dashboard adds the ability to conduct several comparisons and analysis beyond what is presented in this report. To access this system, go to www.edwires.org.
