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.

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 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, any students in your jurisdiction 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.

Navigation between Assessment Reports is simple:

Users can easily navigate from a higher-level Assessment Report to a lower-level one and vice versa. For example, school-level users can access the Student Performance on Test report for each student listed in their School Performance on Test reports. To navigate back to a higher level, use the links in the breadcrumb trail at the upper-left corner of each report.
Assessment Reports for groups of students may display a dropdown list in the heading of each report table. This dropdown list allows you to switch to the report for any other assessment in the same top-level test group that was taken with the same test reason. You may find it easier to navigate using the assessment dropdown list than to return to the Performance on Tests page to find a different assessment.

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

Other features of some Assessment Reports, found in the Features & Tools menu:

When you’re accessing a report on multiple students, the Breakdown By button allows breakdown by student demographic categories. For more information, refer to About the Demographic Sub-Group Report.
If a Build Longitudinal Report button appears, the report has a supplementary Longitudinal Report that tracks students’ performance over time. For more information, refer to Overview of Longitudinal Reports.
If a report for a summative test has a Build Cross-Sectional Report button, you can access a institution’s performance, irrespective of associated or enrolled students, on a single test family across multiple test reasons. For more information, refer to About the Cross-Sectional Report.

Other features of Assessment Reports that list individual students:

When a student completed multiple test opportunities 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). Only data for one opportunity is used to calculate the average scores and performance distributions for the student's associated teachers and institutions.
A notification appears below the report 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 in each reporting category, as well as view those items. Reports for adaptive tests 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.

If a report displays a Build Item Analysis Report button in the Features & Tools menu, you can view aggregate data on the test items. For more information, refer to About the Item Analysis Report.

An item may sometimes 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.
