The Ed-Fi “Classic Dashboards” are no longer supported through the Ed-Fi Alliance. You can still receive support and maintenance through the Ed-Fi vendor community. Please look at any of the vendors’ dashboard solutions on the Registry of Ed-Fi Badges or the Ed-Fi Starter Kits if you are looking for a visualization solution to use with the Ed-Fi ODS. This documentation will remain available to assist existing Classic Dashboard implementers.

At or Above Benchmark

Overview


At or Above Benchmark is a shorthand name for a metric that indicates the percentage of students in a school or district who have scored at or above the college readiness benchmark for the SAT or ACT exams.

Because of the importance of entrance exams to college acceptance, many school districts across the nation, including Chicago, Charlotte, Dallas, and New York, have incorporated metrics on SAT and ACT performance into their student achievement dashboards. In addition, during focus groups conducted with educators, this metric was considered useful by 95% of those surveyed.
