Learn How StudentTracker 3.0’s Dashboard Will Help Secondary School Users Measure Performance

The National Student Clearinghouse’s StudentTracker 3.0 is almost here, ready to deliver new functionality and insights. StudentTracker 3.0 features an interactive dashboard with visualizations that allow users to see and explore three key performance indicators (KPIs) as soon as they log on.

• Enrollment
  • The dashboard’s visualizations show student enrollment patterns, allowing secondary school leaders to quickly see how many graduates are enrolled in higher education. The dashboard also indicates dual enrollment rates (students who took college classes during high school), a new outcome available with StudentTracker 3.0.
• Persistence & Retention
  • Users can also track how many of their high school graduates return to their higher education institution in year two, whether they transfer to another institution, or if they stop out. Counselors can use this data to advise students more effectively on the optimal academic pathways.
• Completers
  • Users can see the completion outcomes of their graduates in real-time. The dashboard shows students’ credentials, including bachelor’s degrees, associate degrees, and certificates. As certificates become more popular, the dashboard will allow users to view the number of students who earned certificates, the total number of credentials, and the highest credentials earned.

Users can interact with their dashboard data by choosing the high school class for any outcome they want to see and using breakdowns and filters to see outcomes for different combinations of the demographic data elements. StudentTracker 3.0’s in-app help will guide users through using its dashboards and other features and makes it easy to get questions answered instantly.

“While StudentTracker 3.0 will bring some useful new changes, we have ensured the things users loved about StudentTracker for High Schools will remain,” according to Michele Gralak, Senior Product Manager, Learner Insights who oversees StudentTracker 3.0. “The focus will remain on the three KPIs crucial for gauging learner outcomes: enrollment, retention and persistence, and graduation.”

The Clearinghouse will begin migrating secondary subscribers (high schools, districts, consortiums, and state education departments) to StudentTracker 3.0 in late summer 2024. In the meantime, you can learn more about StudentTracker 3.0.
