MI School Data Redesign Launch
The redesigned MI School Data website, which will be launched on Tuesday, Oct. 27, will include all the reports users are used to seeing, as well as exciting new features. MI School Data’s updated look and feel are designed to connect users with the information they need quickly and easily. Specialized landing pages provide educators, parents, policymakers and members of the media with data of interest to them in one page. Education Focus Areas delve deeper into specific topics, displaying multiple types of data relevant to that topic and text descriptions to draw connections, provide context and highlight important information. The Education Map shows information about Michigan educational entities and regions, including fast facts, related locations and peer comparisons. The Compare tool allows users to compare up to 20 schools and districts on a variety of topics.
Once the redesigned website becomes available, users still will be able to access the previous MI School Data website at legacy.mischooldata.org. The previous site will be available for two months after the redesign release.
