The Equity Profile Dashboard provides current data about performance and trends in the following categories: Student Demographics, Student Success, College & Career Readiness, Student Well-Being, School Climate and Engaged Workforce. Using this data as a benchmark, the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) will monitor these areas to ensure that gaps in achievement, opportunity, access, and attainment are addressed. Please note that this inaugural dashboard does not include Student Well-Being, School Climate and Engaged Workforce data but will do so on future dashboards. The equity profile dashboards will be updated annually.

Student Well-Being
Create an environment that fosters the growth of the whole child. APS will nurture all students’ mental and social-emotional growth in healthy, safe, and supportive learning environments.
The Your Voice Matters survey is conducted biannually and provides insight from APS families, students in grades 4-12, staff, and teachers. Topics include safety (school and community climate), health and well-being, voice, and engagement. The results are used to inform work across both the school division and the County. The data also provides APS with new benchmarks for measuring progress with stakeholders on the Strategic Plan.
For the purposes of the Equity Profile Dashboard only student responses and selected questions from the Student Well-being category were used for this summary.
