About the Cross-Sectional Report

When the Cross-Sectional Report is available, you can view an institution’s performance, irrespective of enrolled students, on a single test family across multiple test reasons Categories for test opportunities. Here, an institution can refer to either a teacher, a school, or a district. This helps you understand how the institution’s performance has improved or declined across student populations.

Unlike the Longitudinal Report, the Cross-Sectional Report does not track a particular set of students. The set of students may vary across test reasons, depending which ones were enrolled and took the tests at the time.

• A teacher can view a report for all their students.

• A school-level user can view a report for their school.

• A district-level user can view a report for their district or any school within it.

To open a Cross-Sectional Report:

1. When viewing either a teacher-, a school-, or a district-level Assessment Report for a test that has a Cross-Sectional Report available, click the Build Cross-Sectional Report button in the Features & Tools menu. The Cross-Sectional Report window opens, displaying report options.

2. From the list of school years and test reasons Categories for test opportunities, select up to three test reasons you wish to compare.

3. Click Generate Report. The report appears, displaying data for the test family to which the test belongs.
