Data and Analysis for School Leadership (DASL)

FCIS partners with the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), along with 30 associations, to give our schools a resource which provides data for settings goals, assessing progress, and planning for the future. That resource is Data and Analysis for School Leadership (DASL). As a result, all FCIS schools are able to benchmark themselves and make comparisons using data from other FCIS schools. Also, schools are able to make comparisons with schools in other associations of which they are members. In addition, the FCIS Office is able to draw from this data to support its member schools. The possibilities and the benefits to our schools are immense.
