Using the Barr CNM Dashboard
School View
The “School View” page is divided into three sections:
School Selection: The top of the page allows the user to select a school and provides the basic information of the school, such as the district and state it is in, its cohort name, similar schools, and project start date, etc.
Metric Tabs: The middle of the page provides five types of metrics of the school in five separate tabs – Academic Metrics, College and Career Readiness, Indicators of School Quality, CNM Survey, and Demographics. Users can first select the school year of interest, then the boxes below will display the values of a group of metrics of the school in the school year. Each metric’s definition is provided in the link under the data boxes.
Bottom Section: The bottom of the page includes an interactive plot with the metrics described above. Tips on using the plot are provided under the plot.
Scatterplot View
The “Scatterplot View” page allows the user to build a customized scatterplot by selecting a metric on the x-axis and another metric on the y-axis and compare different schools in the portfolio. Each dot on the plot is a school. The “Select Subgroup” option allows the user to view metrics from all students or student subgroups. The “School Highlight” option allows the user to highlight a single school on the plot. Each user will only be able to view actual metric values for the school(s) they have access to. All other schools will have tool tips that mask the metric values for data privacy.
Comparison View
The “Comparison View” page allows you to select up to 5 different schools and comparison groups to directly compare their metrics for a particular year and subgroup. Alternatively, you can select a single school and turn on the Similar Schools toggle to view the data on each of its similar schools.
NOTE: The 'Show Similar Schools' toggle will take you to a different plot. If viewing similar schools, you will only be able to select one school to display along with its similar schools. When the toggle for similar schools is turned off, you will be returned to any previous selection.
*NEW survey measures in 2026*
