iPlatform

New Hampshire's school data transparency portal.

iplatform logo

 

    Welcome to the New Hampshire Department of Education's iPlatform 9.75 for education data stories from schools/districts. The concept behind this portal is to enhance transparency and stimulate community conversations with parents, districts, legislators, and others about the state of their local school systems. We all have a stake in the success of our K-12 education system and we all share the common aspiration of well-educated students. As article 83 of the New Hampshire Constitution states, "Knowledge and learning, generally diffused through a community, being essential to the preservation of a free government; and spreading the opportunities and advantages of education through the various parts of the country, being highly conducive to promote this end.”

    While we all share the same goal of creating bright futures for Granite State students, how that is accomplished may vary. We fiercely believe in local control of education; each community shapes unique student educational experiences. No one data point is adequate to tell the story of an educational experience.

    This portal includes a broad – and expanding – range of information to create the opportunity for community conversations. It is comprised of four areas designed to help you get the information you need. To help you navigate through the iPlatform tools please refer to our iPlatform training and Resources area where you will find iPlatform training materials and upcoming webinars.

    iAchieve

    An online dashboard that includes Assessment Participation, Proficiency and Growth, Achievement Levels, and ESSA Indicators, designed to help educators make data-driven decisions and improve student outcomes.  The Assessment Participation section displays participation rates and identifies areas of concern. Proficiency and Growth tracks student performance over time to identify areas for additional support. Achievement Levels shows the percentage of students meeting expectations, while ESSA Indicators provide a holistic view of student progress in relation to ESSA requirements.

    iGrant 

    An interactive ESSER dashboard that highlights various data such as allocations, spending information, and paid reimbursements by school districts. This dashboard also showcases the top activities where districts are spending their ESSER funds. The data within this dashboard is pulled directly from the NHED grants management system (GMS), and updates weekly. iGrant is a great resource to provide a snapshot of the actual ESSER spending for each school. More information, definitions, and resources can be found within the dashboard. 

      iReport 

      Includes static information about individual schools and school districts that comprises the accountability data elements included in the New Hampshire federal accountability plan under the Every Student Succeeds Act. This is a great source to get a quick snapshot of a particular school or district.

      iExplore

      Includes more dynamic information about individual schools and comparative tools between schools, districts, and state level information. More advanced comparisons are made between data with drill down capability. At this point, iExplore is driven by 15 identified data elements. This list will continue to grow as the NH DOE adds additional exploration metrics, helping communities explore and engage in discussions about education in their communities. iExplore is a great source for more in-depth analysis of what’s going on in a school, district, or across the state.

      Data Reports

      Reports on student counts, racial statistics, teacher counts, school building information, financial data on the school districts in the form of budgets and financial statements.

      iGlossary 

      An online reference tool that provides definitions and explanations for academic and educational terminology throughout iPlatform. It is designed to assist students, parents, educators, and researchers using any of the iPlatform tools. iGlossary is organized alphabetically, making it easy to navigate, and each entry is written in clear and concise language.

      iDefine

      Includes a data dictionary for iPlatform. Education has a lot of acronyms and very specific data elements. This is a great place to go to better understand the nature of the data you might encounter in the other parts of the website.

      603 Bright Future Surveys 

      Includes meaningful feedback from parents, educators and community members on how to improve New Hampshire Schools. The survey dashboards include results at the state, district, and school levels.
