Disaggregated Data

In 2016, advocated and helped passed the All Kids Count Act to disaggregate student data to help us understand opportunity gaps along lines of race and ethnicity, English language ability, foster care status, military family status, gender, low-income status, and disability. By having better data from our local communities to our schools to the state Capitol, it will help policy makers understand how data collection and interpretation can inform policies, trends in resources and academic achievement by student groups, and best strategies for improving education opportunities.

This new law requires that the  Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) collect and report student data broken down by ethnicity so that we can clearly see the diverse communities within each racial groups. In the 2018-2019 school year, MDE designated five rollout sites, Community of Peace Academy, Minnetonka Public Schools, Schoolcraft Learning Community, St. Paul Public Schools and Worthington Public Schools to collect this data.

You can access the disaggregated data from the Minnesota Department of Education’s Data Center under Counting all Students Report.
