The Success Network Dashboard allows users to assess progress towards the goal of equitably increasing postsecondary attainment for Illinois adults. A resource offered to the Success Network’s Leadership Communities, the dashboard serves as a single stop for data to inform community decisions.
Our Role
EdSystems manages the dashboard in partnership with NIU’s Illinois Interactive Report Cards team. We strive to ensure that, where possible, dashboard and other data can be disaggregated to inform equity-related goal setting and action.
In spring 2023, we released the first phase of a reimagined dashboard to allow users to visualize trend data, download it, easily group together data from multiple districts for comparison, and benchmark against state averages and top and bottom quartiles. These features can help communities base their actions on concrete data and measurable outcomes. This data-based decision-making process ensures that resources are allocated strategically and interventions are targeted. Further, this process can encourage collaboration as stakeholders can collectively work towards achieving common goals.
- Phase one includes data on postsecondary enrollment and community college remediation, which are now available.
- Phase two, released in 2024, includes data on Career and Technical Education (CTE) participation and early college coursework.
- Phase three will include 9th grade-on-track and graduation rates.
With each launch, communities provide feedback to ensure we’re providing the data in the most helpful way.
