State unveils revamped K-12 Report Card

The State Department of Education has unveiled its revamped K-12 Report Card.

The online tool provides a user-friendly way for parents, educators, and others to access information about schools and districts throughout the state.

As part of the state’s new accountability system, the site provides information about multiple student performance indicators, offering context in addition to the data, including school demographic information, teacher workforce, enrollment and results from a new student engagement survey taken by students in grades 3-8.

The new report card is also a portal into the results of Idaho’s new state accountability plan, approved by the U.S. Department of Education this past March.

The plan identifies schools that are underperforming so the State Department of Education can partner with local school leadership teams to identify specific supports and plans for improvement.

The plan also celebrates schools’ successes and provides educators with additional tools for measuring growth.
