Office of Data, Analysis & Research

The Office of Data, Analysis & Research processes educational data collections, fulfills data requests, and prepares state and federal reports.

Data plays an important role in improved outcomes for students, starting with the data itself through data gathering, collection and storage, then providing information through data integration, access and retrieval, then into knowledge through data analysis and use, resulting in improved student outcomes

Federal & State Reporting

The Rhode Island Department of Education annually collects a wide range of information from schools and districts. The Department uses a web-based system, eRIDE. Authorized district and school staff are now able to login to eRIDE and submit state and federally mandated data and reports throughout the year.

RIDE uses eRIDE to manage the State Assigned Student IDs (SASID), the state Data Dictionary, publish School and District Report Cards, Statistical Reports, Frequently Requested Education Data (FRED) and other public education data.

NECAP Reporting by Year, State, District & School

The NECAP Student Report provides schools and parents/guardians with information about individual student performance.
The NECAP School Results Report and the NECAP District Results Report provide results for schools and districts based on the testing of local students in grades 3 through 8 & 11.

Discipline Data Reporting

Includes in-school suspensions, out-of-school-suspensions, and alternate program placements.
This critical data is used for determining compliance with federal special education law by identifying districts with discrepancies in the rates of short and long-term suspensions for students with disabilities, and for decisions regarding a district’s use of funds.
Based upon this data, districts may be required to review and revise policies, procedures, and practices, reserve 15% of IDEA funds for coordinated early intervening services, and report on the revision of policies, procedures, and practices.
