Pattonville launches data dashboard

The Pattonville School District has launched a new online data dashboard, providing families, staff and the community with real-time insights into key metrics that support student achievement and reflect district performance. The dashboard is designed to offer a transparent view of how Pattonville is preparing students for success in high school, college, careers and beyond.

Pattonville’s commitment to student success is reflected in its collaboration with the Success-Ready Students Network (SRSN). In 2023, the Missouri State Board of Education approved a three-year innovation waiver for districts in the SRSN’s System Design Zone (SDZ), including Pattonville. Along with 19 other Missouri districts participating in SDZ, the waiver allows Pattonville to use personalized, growth-based assessments to measure student progress multiple times during the school year. This approach allows the district to track learning outcomes more accurately, ensuring that students, teachers and parents/guardians receive real-time feedback on academic performance allowing students to receive timely support as they work toward their academic and personal goals. This helps students take an active role in setting learning goals and working toward mastery at their own pace. The dashboard highlights how Pattonville is tracking student growth and preparing students for future success in a rapidly changing world.

“We are excited about the potential of the Pattonville data dashboard as we continue to develop and enhance this vital tool,” superintendent Barry Nelson said. “In the future, it will provide students, parents, teachers and administrators with even deeper insights into student performance, helping to guide learning and ensure persistence toward graduation. As we build the dashboard, it will become a key resource for tracking progress and supporting success, preparing our students for high school, college, careers and beyond.”

Key features of the district’s data dashboard include:

• District at a Glance: Overview of district metrics, including school enrollment, diversity, staff qualifications and awards.

• District Enrollment and Demographics: Data on student population, diversity and students on free and reduced lunch and those with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs).

• High School Readiness: Tracks readiness indicators for students in grades K-8, ensuring they are on track for success in high school.

• College, Career and Workforce Readiness: Data on readiness, certification achievements and other career-related milestones.

• Graduation Rate and Follow-Up: Statistics on graduation rates and follow-up data regarding alumni post Pattonville.

• End-of-Course Exams: Assessment results that show how well students are mastering core academic subjects.

• Attendance and Resources: Information on attendance trends and available support resources.

The dashboard also reflects the Pattonville's strategic efforts to prepare students for high school, college, careers and life after graduation. In addition to tracking academic progress, the dashboard also aligns with the district’s efforts to monitor attendance, behavioral interventions and participation in various programs. It provides data necessary to support program evaluations and strategic planning for the future. By sharing this information through a public-facing dashboard, Pattonville reinforces its commitment to transparency and continuous improvement, ensuring that every student is supported on their path to success.
