DRIVE CHANGE WITH RELIABLE DATA
I2D2’s interactive “IA Data Drive” dashboard is here to empower decision-makers with accessible data in an easy-to-use format. What in the past may have been visits to dozens of different websites is now just a click away – early childhood trends, local vs. state data comparisons, and more. IA Data Drive provides an assortment of indicators aligned with the most recent statewide annual report from ECI.
You need to make decisions quickly, but you want to make them in an informed way. I2D2’s unique dashboard will let you do both and drive forward with confidence.
NOTE
Early Childhood Iowa (ECI) indicators were computed for this dashboard using the same data sources specified in the descriptions of the indicators. Notes have been added if an indicator was computed using alternative data source (due to inaccessibility of the original data) or different method. Definitions for ECI indicators were adopted from ECI Indicators and Data Dictionary 2022.
The dashboard might look slightly different depending on the user's environment (screen size and resolution of a device, as well as its orientation). For the best experience it is recommended to interact with the tool using PC or tablet.
Early Childhood Iowa (ECI) Statewide Indicators
The front side of the cards show the most recent statewide values for the available ECI indicators, along with the information about corresponding year and source of the data. The back side provides description of the indicator. Several indicators are normalized using population estimate from American Community Survey (ACS). If ACS data is not available for the year of the numerator than the most recent ACS year is used for computation.

This indicator is based on a school district values annually reported by Early Childhood Iowa (ECI). Data for districts with less than 30 students tested is suppressed in the reports, therefore those school districts are not taken into account when computing county or statewide values. When a school district is geographically located in multiple counties, the district is asssigned to the the county in which the district office is located. Prior to 2017, the data is only reported at a scale of ECI Area (a solid black line in the map below shows boundaries of each ECI region).
