Measuring Success, Making Progress is a new site that pulls together data on student outcomes in one of the clearest presentations I’ve seen. It includes: current data on high school graduation rates, college readiness, college enrollment, community college progress and college completion rates. It makes the first stab at a six-year dropout rate, tracking students form seventh grade on.

The effort was led by MPR Associates of Berkeley and its senior researcher Jay Pfeiffer. Pfeiffer is  nationally recognized for creating Florida’s longitudinal student data system and is the first to acknowledge that the new site will have more complete and accurate data once CALPADS, California’s new student data system, is up and running.
