| | | | Student Headcount Query: This report shows counts of students who enrolled at two different institutions at specified times. For example, this query will display how many students enrolled at a Edison High School in 2003-2004 enrolled in Fresno State in Fall 2004. This query includes all educational segments.
Course Query: This report shows the community college courses enrolled in by students who also enrolled in Fresno Unified previously.
Student Flow Query: The Student Flow report indicates the volume of students transitioning from FUSD to all partner Community College by gender and ethnicity.
Data is limited by partner institutions who participate in the program and allow sharing of data with FUSD. | CalPass | CalPass |
| | | | College Opportunity Index compares number of 9th graders to number of graduates, A-G completers, CC enrollers, CSU enrollers, and UC enrollers. Data is available for every individual high school. Also, data is available on individual middle schools, including: access to highly qualified teachers and math/science enrollment.
Data comes from CPEC, CBEDS, and NCES and is unreliable because it requires college freshman to report high school origin. The data is more likely to be accurate for colleges close to home high school as staff at those colleges are most likely to assist students in retrieving correct high school codes. | | UC Accord |

| | | California Postsecondary database | California Postsecondary Education Commission database includes higher education enrolment data for all public colleges and universities which can be queried by high school or district. Data includes A-G completeres, high school graduation, enrollement, transfer, first time enrollment, degrees awarded, and more. Reports can be run by high school, district, or legislative district.
Data is limited by the sources and data collection methods. CPEC receives first-time freshman data from CC, CSU, and UC systems which is gathered by freshman who may or may not know their correct high school code and may or may not use their correct social security number. Also, private colleges are not required to submit data. CSIS identifiers may help in the future, but no time soon. Also, there CC data set for Fresno City College has known innacuracies which the Chancelor's office is aware of and working on. | CPEC | CPEC |

| | | | The Common Core of Data (CCD) is a program of the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics that annually collects fiscal and non-fiscal data about all public schools, public school districts and state education agencies in the United States. The data are supplied by state education agency officials and include information that describes schools and school districts, including name, address, and phone number; descriptive information about students and staff, including demographics; and fiscal data, including revenues and current expenditures. | NCES | http://nces.ed.gov/ccd/ |
| | | | The National Center for Education Statistics' (NCES) Career/Technical Education Statistics (CTES) system derives data about career/technical education primarily from existing NCES surveys. Some of the most informative data in the CTES system are from high school transcript data. This method of obtaining data provides a more accurate and complete picture of participation in career/technical education than can be obtained by other means. The CTES system also uses data from NCES' surveys of postsecondary students, secondary and postsecondary faculty, adult learners, and from longitudinal surveys that track students through high school and into the labor market and/or postsecondary education.
The primary use of the CTES system is to report on the status of career/technical education. NCES has published several reports on career/technical education topics, including student participation, staff characteristics, and adult education for work. These publications include Vocational Education in the United States: Toward the Year 2000, the most recent NCES publication that synthesizes career/technical education data at the secondary and postsecondary levels. In addition, the CTES system is a primary data source for the Perkin's Act periodic, congressionally mandated evaluations of career/technical education. | NCES | http://nces.ed.gov/surveys/ctes/ |
