You can now access 2010-11 district-level teacher salary and experience data, physical fitness test results, and average class size data on the Ed-Data website.
Teacher Salaries:
Our Teacher Salaries reports include information on a district's salary schedule as well as the highest salary offered, district contributions to teacher benefit plans, percent change in salary over the prior year, and information on teacher credentials and experience.
Using Ed-Data's Compare Districts tool, you can also see which districts have the highest, or the lowest, salaries in the state or compare your district to similar districts.
Please note: Salary and benefit information comes from a teacher salary report (J-90) that districts are not required to file. About 20% of districts (about 1% of the state's ADA) do not file this report and so will have no data in the Teacher Salary, Teacher Benefit, or Supplemental Salary tables.
Physical fitness data:
The California Department of Education (CDE) just updated 2010-11 results from the California Fitness Tests. You'll find this latest data in the Performance tab of the Accountability reports at the school, district, county, and state levels.
Average class size data:
We've also posted Average Class Size data in the profile reports. But please note, the state did not release average class size information for self contained classrooms for 2010-11.
Important note about the data:
As many of you know, the state continues to experience some data collection issues in the transition to the new student-level data system. We've flagged and explained problems wherever possible in the text accompanying the data. For more information, please see our Data FAQ article.
What's Next on Ed-Data:
The CDE recently updated 2009-10 cohort graduation and dropout data. We are loading it now and hope to bring it to you soon. The Department is also in the process of updating 2011 Accountability data including API Growth, AYP, and PI information. We'll refresh the information on Ed-Data as soon as possible.
