ESSA Annual Report Card

Under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), Local Educational Agencies (LEA) are required to prepare and disseminate an annual report card for the LEA and each school in the LEA that meets the minimum requirements described in federal law. In order to assist LEAs with meeting these requirements, the Colorado Department of Education has developed an interactive dashboard which allows users to view state-, district-, and school-level data for each of the data elements required under ESSA.

Big Sandy 100J School District’s Report Cards can be accessed from the Colorado Department of Education’s Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Local Reports page.
