MDE Data Reports and Analytics

The following list highlights additional public data reports available from MDE that may be useful to educators beyond the assessment results outlined on the Use Statewide Assessment Data page. Each data report can be downloaded or viewed on MDE's Data Reports and Analytics page.

• Minnesota Common Course Catalogue (MCCC) Reports - The MCCC provides information about courses taught in Minnesota school districts. The MCCC is divided into 23 Subject Areas, such as Mathematics, Visual and Performing Arts, Health Care Services, and Manufacturing. Each Subject Area is further divided into more specific categories. For example, Visual and Performing Arts includes four categories—Dance, Theater, Music, Visual and Media Arts. Each Category contains particular course Classifications, and school districts assign local courses offered to one of these particular Classifications. Course reports can be generated by the larger MCCC Subject Areas, the more specific Categories or the particular Classifications.
• Staffing Reports - View the Staffing Reports on the Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board site.
• ACT Data - The Minnesota student ACT® test data reported here were provided by ACT. The ACT is one of the most widely administered college entrance exams in the United States. Although many Minnesota high school students take the ACT, participation is voluntary, and participants may not be representative of either Minnesota high school students or Minnesota college-bound students as a whole.
• Child Count - The information contained in the child count reports is collected each year through the Minnesota Automated Reporting Student System (MARSS) and represents a count of the children and youth, ages birth through 21, in Minnesota who are eligible for and receiving special education and related services. It is reported to the U.S. Department of Education and provides the most basic and useful information regarding special education demographics in Minnesota. Statewide child count information under the Child Count section on the MDE Data Center is available by Age, Disability, and Race.
• Discipline Data - Public school districts self-report student disciplinary data through MDE's electronic disciplinary incident reporting system (DIRS). The reports below summarize the disciplinary incident data as well as student demographic data (grade, gender, race/ethnicity) for disciplinary actions (suspensions, exclusions and expulsions) by district and state totals for the most current school year. There is also a trend report of student disciplinary actions by district and state totals for the last three school years.
• Minnesota Student Survey - The Minnesota Student Survey monitors risk and protective behaviors among students. Beginning in 2013, students in grades 5, 8, 9, and 11 responded to the survey. While many categories remain consistent over time, others are adjusted to reflect current priority topics. Some categories include tobacco, alcohol, and other drug use; nutrition; physical activity; sexual behavior; school safety; mental health; and relationships. The survey is voluntary, confidential, and anonymous.
• Student - These reports and data files provide information about district and school student demographics. The reports aggregate student- level data in seven major groupings:
  • Enrollment: unduplicated counts of students reported as enrolled in the fall of the school year (October 1). Public school student enrollment counts are disaggregated by school, by district, by county and statewide. A separate enrollment data file is provided for counts of students enrolled in non-public schools.
  • Membership: Adjusted Average Daily Membership is derived from end-of-year data.
  • Student Data-Child Counts: Special Education Child Counts, derived from December 1 counts and located on the Special Education section of the MDE website
  • Graduation Rates: calculations of the rate of graduation based on ESSA definitions.
  • Languages: counts of the number of students reported as of October 1 by Home Language.
