ODE will be piloting two new collections for the 2025-26 school year, Graduation Pathway and Course Grade History. These collections will include course grades and credits as well as total credits and GPAs for high school students. File formats are available on the ODE District File Formats page. The data will be used to help evaluate ODE and legislative initiatives to support high school success, and ODE is also planning to use the data to support the Direct Admissions Initiative being developed by the Higher Education Coordinating Commission.
The pilot collection, with data to be collected in Summer 2026, will be used to further develop file formats and business rules for full implementation in the 2026-27 school year. ODE is encouraging districts to participate in the pilot to help us ensure the data collection is flexible enough to meet the needs of school districts, ODE and the Direct Admissions Initiative. If you are interested in participating in the pilot, please contact Jon Wiens.
