Data Dashboards
Below are four interactive dashboards, designed in partnership with Open Architects. The dashboards provide accurate, timely data about educational trends and outcomes in Berkshire County in the areas of academics, enrollment, finance, and MCAS.
The data can be broken down by school, district, and other subcategories, providing a resource for districts and community partners to retrieve data needed for reporting, grant applications, and analysis. The dashboards are also useful for community members who want to know more about the schools in the region. As shown below, the MCAS dashboard provides information such as growth percentile, scores, and proficiency levels.
