Common Education Data Analysis and Reporting System (CEDARS)

What is CEDARS?

CEDARS is North Carolina's PreK-13 State Longitudinal Data System. The system is composed of various DPI source data collection systems, a student and staff identification system, a centralized data repository, and associated reporting and analysis (or "business intelligence") tools.

CEDARS enables state, local, and federal policymakers, and service providers to analyze trends and relationships between various educational factors and student performance over time. 

From this site, NC public school staff have access to each registration system and registration process, security administration requirements, and the associated user guides and support documentation.
