What's New
New updates and improvements to Equity Analytics
List of Current Low Performing Students
Improvement
Figuring out your current low-performing students just got easier!
Calculating your low-performing students (LPS) can be difficult - especially with your enrollment changing constantly! Equity Analytics does all the hard work for you - each night. You can view your LPS list by going to the "Current Low Performing Students" module on your Equity Analytics homepage whenever you need to look at it. Only teachers of math and ELA in 4th through 8th grade and English II and Algebra I teachers have access to this module because these are the only teachers with an LPS cohort.
This update also squashed a few bugs and includes graphical user interface updates to improve your experience, whether with a smartphone, tablet, laptop, or computer.

Full Academic Year Updates
Improvement
Alongside the new updates to the tracker - we have completely overhauled full academic year status for students. Now when you view your data tracker, you have enhanced filtering for full academic year status! At a click of a button, you can see all students who do not meet full academic year status - or vice versa - you can see all students who do meet full academic year status.

Automatic Sign Out After 10 Minutes
Improvement
Equity Analytics takes data security seriously. After 10 minutes of inactivity - you will be redirected to the log-in page. This is to prevent any unwanted actors from gaining access to personal identifiable information (PII) without proper authentication into Equity Analytics.
Missing SLAIF Scores
Update
Good news! Districts and schools are able to view all students without prior year SLAIF scores. SLAIF stands for "student level accountability information file" - this is the file that is released each school year by the Mississippi Department of Education. When a student does not have a SLAIF score - they are not counted in the growth component.
Now, when viewing your assessment results all district and school users can choose the "MAAP Missing SLAIF Scores" score filter. This score filter provides you a list of students with missing SLAIF scores. These students can be exported in CSV and PDF.
