What is the Community Group Average shown on the District Reports? How is it a better comparison that the State Average?
A. The Community Group Average shows the average of peer school districts. Each district is assigned a letter/number combination. The letter is based on the size of the district in terms of enrollment. The number represents the district’s socioeconomic status as compared to the state average. This grouping allows districts to be compared with other districts serving similar communities. Comparing a district to its peers is preferred to comparing a district to state average. For a more detailed explanation, please refer to The Community Grouping Model found within the Explanation of Terms and Data.
