The SOCRATES DATA SYSTEM offers
state education agencies unparalleled power,
versatility, and ease of use to meet accountability
requirements, provide extensive data to LEA's, and
plan and monitor improvement.
Fully customized for your state, the
SOCRATES DATA SYSTEM produces
ALL of the data elements required for
State, LEA and School Report Cards (NCLB Section
1111(h)). AND allows SEAs
to...
- Examine the differences between schools that
make AYP and those that are in all other status
categories--differences in school characteristics,
community characteristics, student characteristics,
and teacher characteristics.
- Correlate state assessment results with NAEP
results and other indicators (e.g., graduation
rates) at the state, district, school, and sub-group
levels.
- Disaggregate all performance indicators by
student demographics, school and district
characteristics, teacher characteristics, and school
approval status.
- Provide LEAs with in-depth data to support their
improvement efforts.
- Produce the data required for the State Report
Card.
- Create a longitudinal research database for
analyzing the factors associated with different
levels of school and student group performance,
including school and community characteristics,
teacher quality, special programs, and support
services, education funding, opportunities to learn,
school approval and accreditation.
- Correlate school and district fiscal data with
student performance and the characteristics of
schools, students, and teachers.
