Frequently Asked Questions

What is MyData?

MyData is a web-based reporting tool that provides student-level data to teachers and administrators to improve instruction, identify and provide interventions for at-risk students, monitor the performance of students, and inform other decisions. MyData contains student reports such as state test scores (CST, CELDT, CAHSEE), student grades, attendance, A-G coursework, periodic assessments, English Learner data, special education status, and more. Greater availability and usability of student data will allow LAUSD educators to differentiate their instruction to meet the individual learning needs of each student. Teachers will have access to classroom-level data, school-site administrators to school-level data, and local district and central office staff to District-level data.

Can I access MyData from home?

How current is the data?

The latency of the data depends on the type of data it is. State test data is uploaded, for example, annually, while attendance data is uploaded daily. Classroom rosters are updated weekly (data is extracted from the source(s) on Friday night and uploaded to MyData the following Monday night, available to users by Tuesday morning), as well as some reports from the school menu, such as Attendance, A-G, Discipline Referrals and Alert Reports. The rest of the reports from the school menu are updated monthly.

What role does MyData have in an accountability system?

MyData is a tool intended to help support administrators and teachers by providing formative data to help engage in data-driven conversations about how to improve student instruction. The District’s tools for accountability include the Report Card and performance reviews. MyData will help educators monitor student achievement and make adjustments throughout the year but should not be used for accountability purposes.

How can I use MyData to improve instruction?

If you are a teacher, MyData can help you monitor student progress, develop lesson plans, target interventions, customize student learning, discuss the effectiveness of your teaching with colleagues, and identify needs for professional learning and other resources. If you are an administrator, MyData can help you identify professional learning needs and other resource needs for your faculty, plan your course/curriculum availability, monitor attendance, and plan strategically for improving outcomes that will inform the School Report Card.
