What is the School Report Card?
The School Report Card is a document published each year by LAUSD that summarizes data about individual schools and is provided directly to families. It helps families understand how a school is performing in a number of key areas like graduation rates, student performance on standardized tests, English learner progress, and how well connected students, parents, and employees are with their school. The second annual School Report Card was released to the public on January 27, 2010 and is now available for all regular high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools in LAUSD. Parents and guardians should contact their children's school if they have not received a School Report Card for that school. A School Report Card can be downloaded for any school that received one in any of nine languages here on this website. CLICK HERE.

In partnership with the Parent Community Services Branch, the United Way of Greater Los Angeles, and dozens of parent organizations across the city, we are working hard to ensure that every parent in LAUSD knows the School Report Card is now available, what it looks like, and how it can help them partner with their schools. Below are links to materials you can download to assist us in realizing this goal (all documents are in English and in portable document format or pdf except where otherwise noted).
