This dashboard displays data about K-12 students completing at least one Digital Literacy or Computer Science (DLCS) course in a given school or district. The first tab shows side-by-side comparisons of students enrolled in the state, school, or district compared to the students in the state, school, or district who are enrolled in a DLCS course. For example, in Massachusetts as a whole, female students are underrepresented in computer science, whereas male students are overrepresented in computer science. Use the dropdown menu to select a district or school of interest to see their participation in DLCS by student group, compared to their overall demographics. The second tab shows how participation in DLCS by student group has changed over time.

Digital Literacy and Computer Science (DLCS) knowledge, reasoning, and skills are essential both to prepare students for personal and civic efficacy in the 21st century and to prepare and inspire a much larger and more diverse number of students to pursue the innovative and creative careers of the future. In Massachusetts, DLCS instruction includes the areas of computing and society, digital tools and collaboration, computing systems, and computational thinking.
