Statistical Reports

The Department of Education annually collects a large variety of data from schools and districts - much of it required by state or federal mandates. Some of this information is annually compiled in the form of school and district reports as part of Information Works! - a comprehensive set of indicators that monitors and reports to the public on overall quality of public schools in Rhode Island. Information Works! includes data on student achievement, dropout and graduation rates, student mobility, school discipline, school finances, and survey data from parents, students, teachers, and administrators. Education data is used to inform state and local policymaking, local media, program decisions within districts and schools, and the work of educational nonprofits across the state. The quality of department efforts has been nationally recognized in awards from the American Educational Research Association and the National Center for Education Statistics at the U.S. Department of Education.
