New DESE tools put school district data at your fingertips


(From the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education)

The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) has launched the new School Building and District Matrix data visualization tools designed to support families. These resources enhance access to clear, user-friendly, and high-quality education data for communities across Missouri.

“When parents have clear, easy-to-understand information, they can make confident decisions about their children’s education and their communities,” said Commissioner of Education Dr. Karla Eslinger. “These tools make data easier to access and use.”
