Overview
Used in conjunction with the Individualized Academic Plan, the Graduation/College Readiness Dashboard is a page that displays in visual form the High School Graduation Status of multiple areas for all students at the current school.
This page includes a Graduation Status Summary tab and a Graduation Status Summary by Subject Area tab to view.
Included at the top of the page are buttons to calculate the various types of Graduation Status. This displays up-to-date data on this dashboard. The same data is available in Query.
For California users, these Calculate functions should be run before analyzing data on the dashboard or on the CCI Student Summary page. When processing the Mass Update Student CCI data, there is logic to automatically update these processes when updated from within a school.
For Texas users, these Calculate functions should be run before analyzing data on the dashboard to ensure all statuses are up-to-date for all students. While changes to Endorsements are automatically calculated when you visit a student's Endorsement Widget or run Graduation status or Transcript reports, this Calculate function ensures that this status has been updated for all students.

Using the Dashboard ↑
The dashboard includes charts showing the percentage of Students "On Track" for each grade level, for the currently filtered counselor. This chart is broken down by Graduation Requirements, Endorsement/Add-On Graduation Requirements, or any other status available. "On Track" is defined as a Student who would be eligible for Graduation considering all completed eligible credits, current courses, and planned courses with the assumption that the Student passes the current and future courses. Courses in the Academic Plan, currently scheduled classes, as well as transcript data, are all used to determine the On Track status of each student.
NOTE: STU.CCO is NOT used when determining students 'on-track' status.
Calculate Buttons ↑
Use the 'Calculate' buttons to update the data.
California
Texas
Calculate Graduation Status
When clicked, this button kicks off a background process that recalculates the high school graduation requirements status for all students at the current school. A message will display to indicate the process is running. Specifically, it:
- Evaluates every student's completed coursework against the school's graduation requirements
- Updates each student's graduation status (on-track, off-track, etc.) in the system
- Refreshes the dashboard charts you see on the page (the "On Track Student Graduation and Endorsement By Grade Level" chart)
- Displays "The High School Graduation Status Update was last run at [date/time]" when complete to reflect the time the calculation occurred.
Because this runs across all students, it can take several minutes. The button disables itself while processing and an email is sent to the user who triggered it when it finishes.
Calculate Endorsement Status (Texas)
When clicked, this button kicks off a separate background process that recalculates graduation endorsement status for all students at the current school. This ensures that students who's endorsement status has not yet been updated from viewing their endorsement status on another page or running a graduation status report or a transcript. It:
- Re-evaluates every student's eligibility for each endorsement pathway
- Updates each student's endorsement status in the system
- Refreshes the corresponding endorsement data on the dashboard
- Displays "The Endorsement Status Update was last run at [date/time]" when complete
Like the graduation button, it runs in the background, disables itself while processing, and sends an email when the job completes.
These two processes are independent — you can run one without the other. Both should be re-run whenever significant grade or transcript data has been updated to ensure the dashboard reflects the most current student status.
For California users, the calculations are generated from either the Graduation/College Readiness Dashboard page or from the Mass Update Student CCI Data page when logged into a school. See Mass Update Student CCI Data for more information.
If the Mass Update Student CCI Data process is initiated and a user attempts to start the process on the Graduation/College Readiness Dashboard, a red message will display and the buttons will become disabled.
Calculating in Progress ↑
While either of the Calculate Graduation Status or Calculate College Entrance Requirements buttons are running, the bar graphs and graduation status summary information will be replaced with a red message indicating the process is 'Calculating...please wait...'. Once the process completes, the data will be restored after a page refresh.
Use the Filter by Counselor to select a specific Counselor's group of Students.
Graduation Status Summary ↑
Clicking on a number in the Graduation Status Summary displays a list of Students with that criteria, and a Keep Students button is displayed to easily run a KEEP/SKIP query to filter those students.
The Graduation Status Summary by Subject Area tab displays the charts broken down by Graduation Subject Area. This allows the Counselor to drill down to specific grade levels or subject areas to determine which students may not be meeting specific areas.
NOTE: The Graduation Status Summary data will be hidden while the calculations are being triggered.
