Find the standards dragging down the whole district
For district admins and curriculum coordinators: when a subject's readiness is low, the next question is which standards are costing us the most, everywhere at once? This view answers it — and turns it into a single, defensible PD priority.
Get there- Open District Overview → you're on the Performance tab.
- In the subject table, click a subject to open it — e.g. Algebra 1.
- Below the per-school comparison, read District-wide Standards Needing Attention.
The District Overview Needs Attention and Bright Spots calloutsStart with the two callouts at the top. They read the district on Algebra 1 — the end-of-course blueprint subject — in one glance: Needs Attention surfaces the school trailing the Algebra 1 average (Riverside High), and Bright Spots surfaces the leader (Mountain View Middle). Every number matches the tables below it, so you can trust the summary.
Algebra 1 is the blueprint subject, so it's the one with Readiness and a reteach story. Geometry, Algebra 2, and Pre-Algebra appear as Average Mastery subjects (no blueprint), and Math Foundations as practice-only — see why some subjects show Readiness vs Mastery.
Open Algebra 1 and you get two levels:
- School Comparison — the same exam, every school side by side. Algebra 1 runs from Mountain View 65 (+4 vs the district average of 61) down to Riverside 54 (−7, gap-flagged).
- District-wide Standards Needing Attention — the standards dragging Algebra 1 down across all schools, ranked by impact score (how much reteaching the standard would lift readiness, weighted by how much it counts on the exam).
District-wide Standards Needing Attention for Algebra 1| Standard | Impact score | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| REI.B.3 (solving linear equations) | −5.7 | High |
| CED.A.1 | −4.3 | High |
| IF.A.2 | −2.9 | Med |
The top row is your district PD target. REI.B.3 carries the worst impact (−5.7) and high exam weight — so district-wide professional development on it lifts more readiness than anything else you could pick, before the end-of-course exam rather than after. That's a board-defensible focus, not a hunch.
