Community Indicators for Your Community

Real, lasting community change is built around knowing where you are, where you want to be, and whether your efforts are making a difference. Indicators are a necessary ingredient for sustainable change. And the process of selecting community indicators -- who chooses, how they choose, what they choose -- is as important as the data you select.

This is an archive of thoughts I had about indicators and the community indicators movement. Some of the thinking is outdated, and many of the links may have broken over time.

Graduation Rates Mapping Tool

A friend sent along this mapping tool for high school graduation rates in the United States. See http://mapsg.edweek.org/edweekv2/default.jsp to look at graduation rates by state or zoom in for district comparisons.

Beyond just seeing the color-coded map, you can hover your mouse over a district and get additional details, or click for a full district report. Quick, easy, informative. See http://mapsg.edweek.org/edweekv2/help.htm#district for more information about how to use the tool.

Keep sending along these data tools!
