High School Feedback Reports

The email below was sent out to superintendents on December 22 from the DE. To help you prepare for the public release of the Postsecondary Readiness Reports, they are offering a webinar on Thursday, January 5, at 3:30 p.m. This webinar will be recorded and will be made available upon request.


Subject:
 Important Update- High School Feedback Reports
Dear Superintendents and Principals,

You may recall that in September 2015 we released to the field a set of high school feedback reports showing student postsecondary enrollment patterns and preparedness after high school graduation. Through the secure data reporting platform EdInsight, you have had access to reports that show enrollment in colleges and universities, remedial course-taking rates, and postsecondary retention and completion rates for students who graduated from your public high schools.

The data are compiled through a joint partnership of the Iowa Department of Education, Board of Regents and Iowa Workforce Development. This information is valuable to all stakeholders to help identify focus areas for ensuring students leave Iowa high schools ready to succeed in both college and careers.

As such, the reports will be made available through a public website that will be launched in January. The public site, which will be rebranded as the Iowa Postsecondary Readiness Reports, will include both statewide and school-level information.

To help you prepare for the public release of the Postsecondary Readiness Reports, we are offering a webinar on Thursday, January 5, at 3:30 p.m. This webinar will be recorded and will be made available upon request. Join the webinar via Zoom:

A separate webinar will be held specifically for school district communications professionals, who will receive an email about the opportunity.

Questions about these webinars and the Iowa Postsecondary Readiness Reports may be directed to Jay Pennington, chief of our Bureau of Information and Analysis: jay.pennington@iowa.gov

Sincerely,

Ryan--

Ryan Wise, Ed.L.D.
