CA Dashboard Mobile Application


About the App

The CA Dashboard mobile app provides easy access for parents and educators on school and district progress so they can participate in decisions to improve student learning.

Californians can use the CA Dashboard mobile app to easily access information based on the California School Dashboard External link opens in new window or tab.. The Dashboard is California’s new accountability system and helps parents and educators identify strengths and areas for improvement. Through the Dashboard, California reports how districts, schools (including alternative schools serving high-risk students), and student groups are performing across state measures and responding to local indicator measures.
