The data analysis shared here uses the CAPE Framework to analyze the district's progress toward an equitable approach to CS for all students.
CAPE is a Framework designed to research, expose, and resolve barriers to equity in CS Education. It was developed via a Google CS-ER Grant executed by the University of Texas in Austin.
"C" stands for CAPACITY for CS Education.
"A" represents ACCESS to CS Education
"P" is about PARTICIPATION in CS Education
"E" focuses on EXPERIENCE of CS Education
Note that while the pieces of the CAPE triangle will be analyzed separately, they are interdependent pieces that can help us understand and improve student access to excellent computer science education. Our hope is that by using the CAPE framework to decide how we consider, measure, and impact computer science education, we will be able to make strategic decisions to efficiently improve inequities.

Interested in replicating in your district or state? Here are the surveys. Please give credit.
Experience focuses on the outcomes (results) of participation in CS.
Participation measures the extent to which students are actively engaged in CS learning opportunities.
Access focuses on whether or not students have the opportunity to learn CS.
Capacity is about whether or not there are enough resources to support and maintain high-quality CS instruction.
