Comparing MRA Scores
Two dropdowns give you more control over which results you're viewing and what you're comparing them to.
Switch MRA and Change Comparison controls, annotated
Switch MRA
- • Select which MRA's scores you want to view.
- • Find this dropdown in the top-left corner of the dashboard.
- • Each MRA now shows a version number.
Change Comparison
- • Select which previous MRA the current one is compared against.
- • Only MRAs with the same version number can be compared, so scores line up correctly.
Longitudinal Measure Charts NEW
Click the chart icon on a Leadership, Culture, or Academics card to open a trend line for that Measure.
Longitudinal charts for Staff Leadership, Supportive Environment for Staff, and Empowering Teachers
What It Shows
- • Changes in a Measure's score across years.
- • Scores from every previous validated MRA (version 2) the school has completed, in chronological order.
Tracking an MRA in Progress
Until enough surveys are in, the dashboard shows an "In Progress" status with clear minimums, instead of leaving results blank.
An MRA marked "In Progress," with survey completion tracked against targets
Minimum Responses Needed
- • At least 10 student responses
- • At least five staff responses
- • At least 10 family responses
Results stay unavailable until at least one survey type reaches its minimum.
MRA PDF Report: Reorganized Measures and a New Category
The Measures in the PDF report were reorganized for clarity, an outdated name was corrected, and a category missing from the old report was added.
Pre-update report (left) vs. post-update report (right)
What Changed
- • An outdated Measure name was corrected.
- • Measures were regrouped more consistently under Leadership, Culture, and Academics.
- • A new Life-Readiness category covers Group Collaboration and Future-Focus, which the old report was missing.
School Data Spreadsheet: From Raw Rows to Visual Charts
The school data spreadsheet used to be a long list of individual responses. Now it rolls those responses up into color-coded charts you can read at a glance.
Pre-update: one row per response, per question
Post-update: percentages rolled up into stacked bar charts
What Changed
- • Raw response rows are now summarized as a percentage of each response category, such as "Almost every day" and "About half the days."
- • Each question gets a horizontal stacked bar, color-coded from red (least favorable) to green (most favorable).
- • A shared legend makes every chart on the sheet easy to read the same way.
District Roll-Up Report: Date Ranges and Email Delivery
The Download button on the district dashboard is now a report builder, so district staff can choose exactly which MRAs to include.
The new MRA Rollup Report panel: pick a date range, then email the report
What Changed
- • The Download button is now a dropdown with date-range options.
Key benefits
- • Increased access to data: Pick any Starts At and Ends At range, and email the report directly.
- • More accurate averages: The report now accounts for schools completing their MRA at different times.
New Rows and Columns in the Roll-Up File
The roll-up spreadsheet now includes more context about each school's MRA and breaks district averages down further.
New rows: completion date, MRA version, and response counts
New columns: district averages broken down by survey type
New Rows: More Info About Each School's MRA
- • Date the MRA was completed
- • MRA version chosen (such as Elementary, Secondary, or Both)
- • Number of responses received (for the district row, this is now a total, not an average of averages)
New Columns: District Averages by Survey Type
- • District averages are broken down by All, Elementary, Secondary, and Both.
- • The district name and the report's time range are labeled at the top of the sheet.
