Link please?[/quote]

I found it through PP's link to the fast facts, but here is the link to the dashboard home page: http://www.acps.k12.va.us/idashboard/[/quote]

Too bad the application won't work- I get this message when I click through to the app "The guest user account "guest" is invalid."[/quote]

Crazy! I was the one who originally posted about this and I guess they had too many users today or something :-)  Seriously I don't know what happened. This morning I got all kinds of nice graphs and charts but now I too get the guest user message.

I heard from the web admin this morning that they moved to a new server and the guest account wasn't configured properly. I still think it was usage - you don't move servers in the middle of the day. :)[/quote]

[b]In retrospect, The Dashboard gives out more than ACPS wants us to see, so they dis-enabled it! :oops: #Transparency[/b][/quote]

You know, I wouldn't doubt it  :)  
I checked again and it's still not working. It will be interesting to see if the info available differs once it's up again. One stat I noticed was for last school year, for George Mason, I seem to recall it showed there were 100+ white K students but less than half that in 5th grade.  [/quote]

But that doesn't tell you anything, really. That is the demographic make-up of two different class years which could be different for a variety of reasons including demographic make up of the zone and "baby boom" years. What would tell you something is following one class year over time. So for this year's 5th grade class, look at the data for their 4th, 3rd, 2nd, 1st (I think that is as far back as the data went, but it might have gone to their K year) and see how the composition of the class changes. It could be that you see white flight, it could be that you don't. Do the same for the other grade years too. Once the tool comes back online, I want to see what we can see from the transition to middle -- adding up the demo numbers for last year's 5th graders that feed into GW and comparing them to the demo numbers for this year's sixth grade.[/quote]
