District Progress

Monitor standards coverage and identify instructional trends across schools, grades, and classrooms.

Written by Stephanie

Why It Matters

The Progress tab gives district leaders a system-wide view of student performance across standards, making it easier to identify trends, gaps, and opportunities for targeted support.

Use Progress to:

  • Compare standards performance across schools and classrooms

  • Identify standards or domains that may need additional instructional focus

  • Move from district-wide trends into individual schools, classes, and students

  • Make data-informed decisions around coaching, professional learning, intervention, and instructional priorities

How to Use District Progress

Navigate to the Progress tab in the District Dashboard to open the Progress Matrix.

The matrix allows you to control both what level of standards data you want to analyze and how you want that data grouped.

Choose What You Want to Analyze

Select the level of standards data you want to view:

  • Domain — Get a high-level overview of performance across broader standards domains.

  • Standard — Dive deeper into performance on individual standards.

Use the Domain view to quickly identify larger trends, then switch to Standard when you want to investigate a specific area more closely.

Choose How Your Data Is Grouped

You can view and compare Progress data at different levels:

  • School

  • Class

  • Student

Select the grouping that best matches the question you're trying to answer.

For example, use School to compare performance across the district, then move into classes or students when you want to investigate a trend more closely.

Navigate from District Trends to Individual Students

The Progress Matrix lets you explore multiple levels of data without leaving the page.

Depending on your district structure, you can expand through:

Area → School → Class → Student

Select or expand an item to move deeper into the data.

For example:

  1. Start at the School level to compare performance across schools.

  2. Expand a school to see the classes within it.

  3. Expand a class to see individual students.

This makes it easier to start with a district-wide trend and identify exactly where additional support or further investigation may be needed.


Understanding the Progress Matrix

The matrix brings your standards data and organizational structure together in one view.

  • Columns display domains or individual standards, depending on the level of data you've selected.

  • Rows display schools, classes, or students based on your selected grouping.

  • Expand rows to explore the next level of data.

  • Use the available filters and grade-level selections to narrow your view.

Note: Data reflects only skills students have attempted within a standard. Unattempted skills are not counted against results. Results are weighted toward the first attempt on the most recent problems solved, up to the last 10 problems.


Using Progress to Guide Instruction

The Progress tab is designed to help leaders move from “What is happening?” to “Where is it happening?”

For example, district leaders can:

  • Identify a domain showing lower performance across the district

  • Compare schools to determine whether the trend is district-wide or concentrated in specific buildings

  • Expand a school to identify classes that may need additional support

  • Move to the student level for a closer look at who may be struggling

  • Use those insights to inform coaching, intervention, professional learning, and instructional planning


Best Practices

  • Start with Domain for a broad overview before moving into individual standards.

  • Compare schools first to identify system-wide versus school-specific trends.

  • Drill into classes and students when a trend needs further investigation.

  • Look for patterns across multiple standards rather than relying on a single data point.

  • Revisit Progress regularly to monitor how performance changes over time.
