How to Read the Adapted At-A-Glance School Profiles

What is the Adapted At-A-Glance School Profile?

The At-A-Glance School and District Profiles are an overview of a school or district and its accountability data. The audience is parents and families, and the goal is to provide a brief overview of the school or district in a format that is easy to read. Due to missing 2019-20 data, the At-A-Glance School and District Profiles were adapted to still meet this goal. The design of the Adapted At-A-Glance School and District Profiles stayed as close as possible to the original design in order to maintain a sense of familiarity and to honor the input of the parent and community groups.

All data is based on the 2019-20 school year unless otherwise noted. Exceptions include the graduation and completion rates, and teacher and principal retention. For more detailed technical information about the At-A-Glance reports, please refer to the At-A-Glance School and District Profiles Technical Manual. In particular, the At-A-Glance School and District Profiles Technical Manual includes details on the data sources and calculations used in the report.

Students We Serve (page 1)

The Students We Serve section shows the school’s Student Enrollment (total student enrollment on the first school day in October in grades K-12 in 2019-20) and the percentage of students and teachers by racial/ethnic group.

Required Vaccinations (page 1)

Our Staff (page 1)

The Our Staff section shows the following:

Adjusted full-time equivalent (FTE) of Teachers, Educational Assistants, and Counselors/Psychologists in the school
- FTE is a conversion of hours worked to a standardized and comparable measure of staff workload. For instance, FTE of two could reflect two full-time teachers or four half-time teachers.
- A teacher is defined as a teacher, head teacher, special education teacher, or special education physical education teacher.
Average Teacher Retention Rate (the three-year average of the percentage of teachers employed at a school that return to the school in at least one of the two following years)
The Teacher Experience measure is reported as the “percentage of licensed teachers with more than three years of experience” (it is calculated by dividing the number of teachers who are licensed by the total number of Teachers who are licensed in the school).
Same Principal for the last three years? Yes or No question

Academic Success (page 1 - High School)

The Academic Success section for high schools and combined schools shows On-Time Graduation (four-year graduation rate), and Five-Year Completion rate. This section also shows the school district average and Oregon state average for each indicator.

The Outcomes section for high schools shows data for On-Time Graduation (four-year graduation rate) and Five-Year Completion rate, disaggregated by fifteen student groups.

What do the symbols mean?

There are three different symbols that can appear on the profiles:

The less than symbol <
- This could appear in front of a percentage to communicate that the actual value is smaller than the percentage shown.
The greater than symbol >
- This could appear in front of a percentage to communicate that the actual value is greater than the percentage shown.
The asterisk symbol *
- This could appear when the total number of students available for a measurement is fewer than 10 students or the data are unavailable. To protect confidential student information from being revealed, the asterisk appears in place of the percentage.
