How do I find my child’s school, and grade level?
Go to the display tab Select school type (elementary, middle or
high) Choose a subject area (math or reading)
and grade level Find your school in the drop down menu Now play the movie to see how they have
done over the last several years

Similar Schools Go to the demographics tab Select your child’s school from the select
schools bar Find the demographic feature you want to
explore Mouse over the wrench next to the
demographic feature and click on “show similar”
This will show you all the schools in LAUSD that are similar to the school you selected

Good Questions to Ask How is my child’s school doing? Is it
moving in the right direction? What can we learn from other schools that
are performing better? What are the specific plans for improving
student growth and achievement at my child’s school?
How can I be part of the improvement plan?

better than your child’s school.
