Data Used for the 2018 and 2017 Dashboards

An at-a-glance summary of the data (and data years) used to determine Status and Change for the 2018 Dashboard, as well as the data used for the 2017 Dashboard. Please note that results reported in the 2018 and 2017 Dashboards cannot be compared for two reasons: (1) methodology changes were made to all indicators, and (2) a break in the data years exist for select indicators (i.e., 2017 Dashboard used the class of 2015–16 for Graduation Rate Status whereas 2018 Dashboard used the class of 2017–18).
