Overview of the Assessment Reports

Each Assessment Report provides information about how students performed on a particular assessment. Assessment Reports display a section showing student performance data for the assessment as a whole and, typically, additional expandable sections showing more detailed performance data, such as performance within reporting categories Topics or skill areas.

Assessment Reports are available for each assessment at various levels:

• The District Performance on Test report, available to district-level users, provides information about how your district performed on the assessment, by school.
• The School Performance on Test report, available to school- and district-level users, provides information about how a school performed on the assessment, by roster A group of students typically representing a class and by student.
• The My Students' Performance on Test report, available to teachers, provides information about how a teacher's associated students performed on the assessment, by roster and by student.
• The Roster Performance on Test report provides information about how a roster's students performed on the assessment, by student. If students are not grouped into rosters, they can be found in an ad hoc roster called (Students Not In Any Roster).
• The Student Performance on Test report provides information about how an individual student performed on the assessment.

Users can navigate from a higher-level Assessment Report to a lower-level one. For example, teachers can access the Student Performance on Test report for each student listed in their My Students' Performance on Test report. To navigate back, use the links in the breadcrumb trail at the upper-left corner of each report.

To learn how to customize report tables, refer to Working with Report Tables. For help exporting and printing reports, refer to Printing.

When viewing a report on multiple students, you can use the Breakdown By button in the Features & Tools menu to break it down by up to three student demographic categories. For more information, refer to About the Demographic Sub-Group Report.

If a Build Longitudinal Report button appears in the Features & Tools menu, the report has a supplementary Longitudinal Report that compares the students' performance information for related assessments. For more information, refer to Overview of Longitudinal Reports.

If a report displays a Build Cross-Sectional Report button in the Features & Tools menu, you can view an institution’s performance, irrespective of enrolled students, on a single test family across multiple test reasons. For more information, refer to About the Cross-Sectional Report.

If a Get Instructional Resources button appears in the Features & Tools menu, the report includes supplementary information you can access, such as resources that Cambium Assessment, Inc. has provided for the assessment in Tools for Teachers. For more information, refer to Accessing Additional Report Information.

When a report lists students and a student completed multiple test opportunities Instances of a student taking a test for a given assessment, a row of data appears for each opportunity. appears next to the most recent opportunity (most recent test start date). Previous opportunities are marked with numbers , starting from the first one (earliest start date). appears next to the first opportunity, and that opportunity is used for aggregation purposes. Only data for one opportunity are used to calculate the average scores and performance levels for the student's associated teachers and institutions.

A notification appears below a report listing students if a student's test opportunity for the assessment could not be scored. For more information about non-scorable test opportunities, refer to Appendix A.

Data on Individual Items

Depending on the assessment, you can view performance on the individual items The questions on a test in each reporting category, as well as view those items. (Reports for adaptive tests Computer-administered tests that tailor the selection of test items during the administration of the assessment based on the responses of examinees using the adaptive algorithm show individual items only at the individual student level. Reports for summative tests do not show any item-level data.) If a student's test contains items with editable scores and you have hand scoring permissions, you can modify the student's scores for those items.

Some items are broken down into multiple sub-items in the report, because they have multiple scoring assertions. Each sub-item has its own column to the right of the main item column. Sub-items are labeled "[item number]-[sub-item number]", for example, "1-1", "1-2", "1-3". To view the scoring assertion for a sub-item, click to the right of the sub-item number.

An item may somethings have "n/a" listed instead of a score. In some cases, the student did not respond to the item, or the item was not included in that form of the test.
