How to Report Cumulative Senior Averages

School boards often use cumulative senior averages to measure the performance of the district's high schools. Cumulative averages represent the total scores, such as grade points and test performances, of students over the entire course of their educational career. Performance initiatives, such as No Child Left Behind and Race to the Top, allocate funds to schools based on the quality of student performance determined by the cumulative averages of seniors. Learning how to report the cumulative senior averages allows you to demonstrate the quality of performance for your school and graduating students.

      Determine the metrics that you will report. Follow the guidelines of any initiatives or grant programs to which you intend on providing your report. For example, you might provide cumulative grade point averages and average test scores for seniors.

    • 2

      Break down the statistics to provide more in-depth information. Segregate averages according to demographics such as Title I or English as Second Language status.

      Write an introductory paragraph describing what averages you will present and what parameters, such as Title I status, you used to analyze the averages. Summarize the results, comparing your school's performance to established benchmarks.

      Create a template to present the statistical data. Include visual displays, such as bar graphs, to further illustrate the distribution of cumulative senior averages.
