New Bedford Schools
New Bedford is a city in Massachusetts. The Mayor and District Superintendent wanted to build a tool for parents and caretakers so they can better assess the performance of their child's school and advocate for necessary changes.
In collaboration with Finding Common Purpose, North Arrow built a set of interactive charts and dashboards showing district-wide and school-level performance for grades K-12. The result is an engaging community tool that clearly communicates current key performance indicators and the city's targets for 2024.
