The CSinPA data dashboard is now available!

The dashboard contains CS student and teacher data for the 2021-2022 school year.

Highlights include:

• Detailed view of demographics of students participating in CS, with options to see intersectional populations (e.g. multi-racial students who are English learners).

• Changes in CS enrollment from 2020-21 to 2021-22 school year

• Comparisons between student enrollment in CS and total student enrollment

• Demographics of CS teachers, including CS certification

• Comparisons between demographics of CS students and teachers

We will share dashboard snapshots and quick guides soon. We’re working to incorporate data from additional years and will continue to update it as annual data is released.

More information about CSinPA data can be found in the CSinPA Educator Toolkit.
