ESSA Equity Dashboards
Under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), states received flexibility to chart their own path to educational success, but they had to submit a plan to the U.S. Department of Education explaining how they will reach these goals for all students. To summarize the strengths—and shortcomings—of each state’s plan, All4Ed created a series of one-page, quick-reference guides for anyone looking to determine how well a state’s ESSA plan will address the needs of its students.
These ESSA Equity Dashboards use a red-yellow-green light–system to rate approved state plans on several indicators, including long-term goals, accountability indicators, and school ratings. Access your state’s dashboard below.
