SCHOOL DEMOGRAPHICS AND DATA COLLECTION
We are aware of the data gaps regarding our military-connected students. Here are a few things to remember when collecting and reporting data on military-connected students:
A military connected student is defined as a student with a parent who is a member of the Armed Forces on active duty, including National Guard and Reserve forces.
Military status is self-reported. It may take conversations with new enrollees and their parents to ensure the military connection is selected on the registration form.
The Compact covers students in Kindergarten through grade 12. It does not cover PreK students.
PreK students can still be counted in your numbers of military-connected students.
Currently, the Compact only covers National Guard and Reservists on Title 10 orders.
Children of National Guard and Reservist parents on Title 5 or 32 orders can still be counted in your numbers of military-connected students.
Nevada recognizes the data challenges associated with children of service members who move from Title 5 or 32 to Title 10 often and encourages schools to extend Compact coverage to all Nevada's military-connected students regardless of their orders.
Surveying your families is one way to gather information.
Please reach out to the course facilitators with questions or for assistance with data.
While conducting a survey and asking new enrollees their military connection is a great way to gather data, there is a "hack" that can assist you in pulling data. The course facilitators are working to provide screenshots for Middle School. Elementary level data "hack" is coming soon as this "hack" will only show grade 3-5 data.
High School Data "Hack"
To find high school data, you can use the Nevada Report Card.
Pull the 9th and 10th grade data for Science CRT for 20-21. Then disaggregate by military connected.
Pull the 11th grade CCR scores for 20-21. Then disaggregate by military connected.
Pull the 11th grade CCR scores for 19-20 because these students are your presumptive 12th graders for 20-21. Then disaggregate by military-connected.
Middle School Data "Hack"
To find middle school data, you can use the Nevada Report Card.
You will pull CRT Grade 3-8 ELA/Math data.
