Local Educational Agency Accountability Report Card
The federal ESEA requires annual districtwide report cards that summarize data of LEAs statewide and disaggregated by student groups. While the LARC is the responsibility of each LEA, the California Department of Education (CDE) prepares and posts the LARCs on behalf of all LEAs.
However, in accordance with the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), the per-pupil expenditure (PPE) data has become a reporting requirement in the LARC. The LEAs are required to report ESSA PPE data to the CDE. Further information regarding ESSA PPE is available on the Frequently Asked Questions ESSA PPE Reporting web page.
Below is a link to an electronic system to search for the current and one prior year LARCs by district name. Also below are the Spanish translations of the blank 2021–22 and 2020–21 LARC templates.
