Overview

Because of the importance of Algebra I as the foundation for advanced mathematics attainment, many school districts have incorporated metrics on Algebra completion into their internal performance management dashboards. In focus group discussions conducted with educators, the Algebra I metric, as presented on screen shots of the campus dashboard, was considered useful by only 89% of respondents. This represents a significantly lower usefulness rating than those for other Academic Progress metrics, indicating the potential need for additional training on the importance of Algebra I as a predictor of long-term student success.
