The time has come. The PARCC consortium has ceased to exist; states have amicably gone their separate ways, and DC is striking out on our own. Our new assessment system is called the DC Comprehensive Assessments of Progress in Education (DC CAPE) to capture the heroism of our students who are growing toward their college and careers. DC CAPE is by DC, for DC.
The Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) released Special Education Performance Reports (SEPRs) in September 2023. The annual reports are designed to evaluate the performance of a local education agency’s (LEA’s) special education program and pinpoint OSSE supports for the LEA to build educator and system capacity to serve students with disabilities. Additionally, this report is designed to provide LEAs and families with meaningful information about LEA progress toward improving outcomes for students with disabilities.
Welcome to our new blog about DC education data! We are excited to share more about what we collect, report and learn. We want to nerd out about data in a friendly way that brings more people into the conversation. We hope that every post teaches you something new.
