(for data collection years: 2008-09 and 2009-2010)(for data collection years: 2008-09 and 2009-2010)
Defining Goals for Schools by Using Data Defining Goals for Schools by Using Data Proxies as Proxies as “Dashboard Indicators”“Dashboard Indicators”
Methodology Notes
The Following slides present statistics calculated from the StatsOnline surveys collected in 2008-2009 and 2009-2010
In order to collect accurate data during the summer/fall of the current school year, StatsOnline uses some statistics belonging to the previous fiscal year and others to the current fiscal year as follows:
– From the previous fiscal year: a) Applications per Acceptance; Attrition; Giving; Professional Development and Technology Budget; and Endowment Statistics
– From the current fiscal year: Teachers Salaries; Tuition; Financial Aid; and Full-Time Equivalent Staffing (FTE) Statistics
1st Marker of Success: Market DemandNumber of applications per acceptances measures the market’s perception of the school’s “brand” (high ratio a proxy for reputational value), the higher the ratio, the greater the pricing/tuition) flexibility

10th Marker of Success: Student OutcomesStudent outcomes measure overall success of mission (persistence and graduation rates a proxy for effective preparation academically and constitutionally to succeed in future competitive academic environments)
Metrics and Tools To Measure Student Outcomes• Normative Testing (SATs, ERBs, APs, IBs, etc.) • Formative Testing (ERBs, MAP, CWRA, etc.)• Demonstrations of Learning (e-Portfolios)• Matriculation to academically competitive secondary schools and colleges• Graduation from 4-year colleges within six years (NELS)• High School Survey of Student Engagement (HSSSE) • Transcripts/Self-reporting on preparation for and success in college (NAIS Young Alumni Survey; UCLA/HERI Annual College Freshmen Survey)
