States are required by federal law to create annual report cards for the public with key data about how their students and schools are doing. The Data Quality Campaign (DQC) decided to find out if these report cards are easily found and understood. In summer 2016, DQC took the following steps: (1) reviewed 51 report cards (all 50 states and the District of Columbia) to see what information states include on students throughout the state, how they display it, and whether they make it accessible and understandable to a broad public audience; (2) spent nearly 100 hours doing basic Internet searches and exploring state websites; and (3) looked for more than 60 data points to better understand what information states share and how. DQC found that states are not communicating effectively with the public, and finding and interpreting state report cards is confusing and frustrating. This report discusses the findings of DQC's inquiry.
