Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get started?
Most first-time visitors are looking for school data or best practice information. To get to the school data pictures, just enter a school or district name in the search box (on the home page), then select your school or district from the list (in blue). Best practice information is found by clicking on the B block on the left.
I can't find ...
Remember, whenever something is shown in blue on EdResults.org, there is data or a chart behind it. Also, your "navigation" for the web site (how to go back and forth) is found at the top of the screen (as opposed to using your browser arrows).
If you still can't find what you are looking for, click here and visit our Site Map which lists all of the pages available on a single page.

We'll answer it, and make sure it gets included in a future version of the How-to guide or on this page.
What does this report mean?
While we think the EdResults.org data pictures are easy to understand, when you are looking at them for the first time, questions often arise. The How-To guide mentioned above includes information about interpreting the charts. If you still have specific questions about what you can and cannot view on EdResults.org, email us with your question.
How can I help?
With over 6 million students in California, there is plenty of work to do in school improvement. EdResults is entirely supported by philanthropy and through the efforts of our partners. To find out how you can help, just email us.
It didn't work.
Well, first, try again. If it still didn't work, verify that you are running a recent version of your web browser program. Internet Explorer or Netscape should be at least version 5 to successfully use the site. EdResults staff have tested a variety of hardware, operating systems and browser software but it is still possible that you might have a configuration that we haven't seen before. Email our webmaster with the details on your configuration and we will try to assist.
How can I link from my web page directly to my EdResults.org data
Use our Direct Link feature.
On your web site use this format for the link URL:
http://www.edresults.org/find.php?cds=XXXXXXX or
http://www.edresults.org/find.php?cds=XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
You can replace the "X" characters with the 7 digit district portion of your CDS code or your complete 14 digit CDS code. If the CDS code is for a school site, it will take you directly to the Summary Page for your site. If the CDS code is for a district, it will take you directly to the list of schools in your district so you can select the appropriate school.
I really need help!
If you've read everything above and you still need help, please email EdResults staff and we'll do our best to assist.
