DataQuest Schedule

Overview

Each year, local educational agencies (LEAs) submit information to the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS) on student outcomes such as graduation, discipline, absenteeism, demographic information for students and staff, and annual student enrollment. These data are used to produce reports on DataQuest and downloadable data files. To assist data users with their planning, this web page covers the schedule of reports to be released this year.
