District 57 previews District 214 data on alumni outcomes at Prospect High School
Summary
Administrators showed preliminary District 214 data comparing District 57 alumni outcomes at Prospect High School; early indicators showed District 57 alumni performing at or above comparison groups on several indicators.
Assistant superintendent (title not specified) and Dr. Vanderhar presented a preview of newly shared data from District 214 that links District 57 alumni outcomes at Prospect High School to earlier district indicators.
Why it matters: The District 214 dashboard and end-of-grade 9 outcomes give District 57 a longer-range view of whether district programs and course placements are preparing students for high school success.
What the board heard: The presenter said District 57 is comparing the performance of District 57 alumni who attend Prospect High School against all Prospect students and against District 214 broadly. Preliminary figures show District 57 alumni performing well on attendance and other early high-school indicators. The administration said the data are recent and “hot off the presses,” and that additional longitudinal and program-level analysis will follow when District 214 releases more complete dashboards in June or July.
Board questions and next steps: Trustees asked about the share of Lincoln students at Prospect (about half) and whether the district can disaggregate extracurricular participation and program placement for alumni. Administrators said additional conversations are planned and that District 214 is refining dashboards and definitions (for example, how initial placement is measured).
Ending: Administrators said they will continue to work with District 214 to refine the dashboard and present more detailed analyses this summer.
