Help with FCPS Dashboard

[Anonymous]

I am trying to find out how many students who have been selected for AAP level 4 opted to stay at local and how many opted to go to center. Reading the old threads it looks like one should be able to find this information from FCPS dashboard site.

Here is the link to the dashboard site

http://www.fcps.edu/fts/dashboard/enrollment/esenroll14-15.html

Could anyone please tell where to look for this number after I select the school?

Thanks

Making the assumption you are looking at Local Level IV #s at the base school compared to the Center school -- you need to look at two separate Dashboard screens.

1. Under Capacity & Enrollment, select ES Enrollment

http://www.fcps.edu/fts/dashboard/enrollment/esenroll14-15.html

and select the elementary school on the left side of the screen.

2. Scroll down to the "Enrollment by Grade Level" and you will see a green bar for every grade level and a blue extension of the bar for 3rd grade and up.

So, as an example, for Camelot ES, there is an 83 for 3rd grade. This represents the total students in grade 3 at the school. If you mouse over the green bar you will see General Ed Enrollment for grade 3 is 70. If you go just above the green bar near the blue extension, and mouseover again, you will see Level IV AAP Enrollment is 13. (70 + 13 = 83 as shown in the bar for 3rd grade.)

3. Now to see how many students chose the Center option. You will need to use the Pyramid & Programs Dashboard (third option towards the top of the screen):

http://www.fcps.edu/fts/dashboard/program/specialprogs14-15.html

You will need to know the Region and high school pyramid for the assigned Center school. School assignments are here:

http://www.fcps.edu/is/aap/designations.shtml

For example, Camelot ES is assigned to Mantua, which is part of the Woodson pyramid (Region 5).

So for this example, select Region 5 and then select Woodson HS from the left side of the screen.

Then, towards the top of the screen on the right side under the orange bar, select AAP Transfer View. Then scroll down to see the "Base School" numbers corresponding to the Attending School. For Camelot ES, there is 1 in 3rd grade, 2 in 4th grade, 5 in 5th grade, and 1 in 6th grade.

Thank you so much! This is just awesome set of instructions. Exactly what I wanted to find out. Cannot thank you enough.

I was looking at Flint Hill ES in Madison HS pyramid. The 3rd grade shows zero AAP students. Following the pyramid, it shows that no students went to Archer from Flint Hill from 3rd grade and 4th grade.

Is it likely that the data is wrong or is that a very remote possibility?

Is there any way to confirm 3rd grade AAP size?

The data for Flint Hill is incorrect.

+1

The latest numbers I have (from January) show Flint Hill LLIV with 16 in 3rd grade, 24 in 4th grade, 29 in 5th grade, and 20 in 6th grade. It appears as though the 3rd grade number is incorrect on Dashboard.

I suspect there are a lot of errors in the dashboard and other FCPS data on special programs.. I found this out by trying to determine how many kids our AAP center MS was receiving from another MS without an AAP center. The information that FCPS had put out suggested there were dozens of 7th graders and virtually no 8th graders from the other school. I knew that had to be wrong, and FCPS confirmed it was incorrect, but they never went back and fixed it. They are trying to be more transparent but, with so many schools and programs, they have a hard time reporting all the data correctly. It bothers me, though, to think that some of these mistakes potentially might affect enrollment projections as well.

So the PP who walked you through the dashboard did a great job, but you still need to be skeptical about the information as reported.

Thanks again for all the help.

One more question. In the "student migration" section, "AAP Out" shows -46. What does this mean? Is it the number of AAP students who moved out of Flint Hill for AAP last year?

I know some of FH students go Archer and some to Sunrise. And adding the number of FH students going to Madison from both Archer (6) and Sunrise (6), only comes to 12. So how come 46 students are lost from FH?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think a kid who has an IEP and AAP eligible is counted as a special education (not aap) for the counting purposes on dashboard.

I think it means the total number of students who have Flint Hill as the "base school" but attend the AAP center somewhere else.

Thank you. That is what I thought, but it contradicts the numbers from the pyramid.

So it looks like around 10 to 12 kids from each grade (3rd to 6th) go to Center.

This link doesn't work. Does anyone have an updated one?

Since you are asking about this year's 3rd grade at FH, from what I can tell the majority stayed at FH. I don't think there were as many identified this year though as other years.
