Winter Data Upload Completed
- December 14, 2020This week we finalized the data upload to SLEDS and ECLDS.
Minnesota has developed the Minnesota Statewide Longitudinal Education Data System (SLEDS) matching student data from pre-kindergarten through completion of postsecondary education and into the workforce. By bridging existing data with other incoming data a range of education programmatic and delivery questions can be answered to gauge the effectiveness of current programs and design targeted improvement strategies to help students.
The Minnesota P-20 Education Partnership governs the SLEDS system. The project is managed jointly by the Minnesota Office of Higher Education (OHE) (opens new window) , Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) (opens new window) , and Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) (opens new window)

Minnesota's Early Childhood Longitudinal Data System (ECLDS) web tool combines data collected by the Department of Education, the Department of Human Services and the Department of Health into one online, interactive database. The system shows population results on children's growth and achievement in relation to their participation in a variety of educational and social programs over time.
This week we finalized the data upload to SLEDS and ECLDS.
Ever since the coronavirus pandemic took hold in Minnesota, priorities have shifted to respond appropriately to this public health emergency. Such was the case of the Early Childhood Longitudinal Data System (ECLDS)’s comprehensive services map, which re-imagined its potential use and application towards finding essential services at a local level in Minnesota.
We are thrilled to roll out the new combined logo for Minnesota’s Early Childhood Longitudinal Data System and the Statewide Longitudinal Education Data System.
We Have Expanded Our Regional Coaching Network!
In August, we finalized the data upload on SLEDS for both the public site and secure reports.
According to SLEDS Enrollment Report, approximately 20% of Minnesota high school graduates (11,550) enroll annually in college outside Minnesota.
We start 2020 taking a deep look into the employment outcomes of Minnesota college graduates a few years after graduation.
We are wrapping up our series of SLEDS tutorials series with two videos that explore the Developmental Education and Entering the Workforce reports. Both tutorials offer step-by-step guidance on how to navigate the report using the filters for detailed data exploration.
According to the latest data release on SLEDS, the class of 2018 was comprised of 59,919 high school graduates, a slightly higher number than in recent years. The High School Academics report shows proficiency results in Statewide Accountability Tests and ACT test scoring that you can use to gauge how prepared Minnesota public high school graduates are for postsecondary education, or how students at your district school are performing against statewide results. ACT test-taking hit an all time high with the class of 2018; 85.2% of high school graduates took the ACT compared to 68.2% of the class of 2015.
We are launching two new tutorials that explore the High School Graduates’ Enrollment Report and Completing College Report. Both tutorials offer step-by-step guidance on how to navigate the report using the filters for detailed data exploration.
Our most recent Employment report on SLEDS offers you information on the job status of recent Minnesota college graduates from 2014 and 2015, one and two years after graduation.
We are excited to announce the completion of our Fall data upload to SLEDS.
To allow SLEDS users learn by themselves how to explore the website and the reports published on it, we have a started producing a series of video tutorials specially created for SLEDS beginner and intermediate users.
The Rigorous Course Taking report offers you information about Minnesota public high school graduates who enrolled in rigorous courses or took rigorous exams at any point while in high school.
Using filters allows you to look up data related to a particular school district or economic development region. Filters can also offer you richer information regarding educational outcomes, either by shining light on inequities or helping you identify possible predictors and pathways to success.
Do you ever wonder what high school graduates do once graduation is over, if they don’t go to college in the fall? According to our latest high school graduates report, approximately 23% of Minnesota’s 2015 high school graduates entered the workforce. In the 12 months following senior year, the majority (58%) were working less than 20 hours per week on average, earning $11.06 per hour.
