In the tradition of the Boston Indicators Project’s commitment to providing ongoing access to data, information and resources, a website for Boston’s Education Pipeline Report Card will be launched in January. It will be an online portal for accessing the wealth of knowledge and information compiled in the report. The website will serve as a link to resources for families and students, and to data updates and innovative research tracking the strength and progress of Boston’s Education Pipeline. There also will be a database with information about every Boston Public School.
This interim website offers the complete report and several features drawn from the report:
The Complete Report Card: A pdf of the entire report, Boston’s Education Pipeline: A Report Card.
Boston Public School Data spreadsheet: contains data for every public school in Boston.
Overview of the Boston Public School Data spreadsheet: contains an overview of the spreadsheet, an explanation of the methodology used and a glossary.
