The purpose of the SC Longitudinal Data System is to enable efficient and accurate management of core SDE data. The resulting system will allow

users to access, analyze, & aggregate SDE datagenerate timely & accurate data for reportingfacilitate research to improve student learning & close achievement gapspromote linkages across the state & with other states.

Our Goal for LDSSC Longitudinal Data System

Replicate core data from SASI and other sources daily from 89 districts to SDE throughSIFs* vertical reporting framework or some other methodObjectives*Schools Interoperability FrameworkSC Longitudinal Data System

Expand district horizontal integration of data systems using the Schools Interoperability FrameworkObjectives

ObjectivesSC Longitudinal Data System

Provide educators and the general publicwith attractive, clickable dashboards of educational graph and tables designed toanswer questions such as:a. What community do I want to live in?b. How is my school and district doing?c. What school do I want to send my children to?d. Which schools and districts add the most value to the growth each year of students?e. Where are priority sub-groups identified by NCLB doing the best?ObjectivesSC Longitudinal Data System

Improve the overall quality and reliability of all SDE education dataObjectivesSC Longitudinal Data System
