Looking at the Student Report This part of the report provides the individual student’s achievement level and scaled score 11
Looking at the Student Report This part of the report provides a comparison between the performance of this student and her or his school, district, and state 13
Looking at the Student Report This part of the report gives specific information about the student’s performance in content area subcategories 15
Looking at the Item Analysis Report This part of the report gives specific information about the released items and student performance on individual items 20
Looking at the Item Analysis Report This part of the report represents all of the items used to compute student scores - points are displayed by subcategory. Each student’s Scaled Score and Achievement Level are shown. 22
Looking at the Item Analysis Report This part of the report is where group, school, district and state summary results are located for the Released Items only. 24
Looking at School Results Report – Testing Year Schools can view reports for Testing Year (2009-10) 27
Looking at School Results Report – Teaching Year or for Teaching Year (2008-09) 28
Looking at the Results Report – Content Area Results Cumulative Totals…provide information on multiple cohorts of students exposed to the program of instruction at a specific grade. Caution should be used if the program of instruction has changed significantly. 34
Looking at the Results Report – Content Area Results Mathematics Total Possible Points includes both common and matrix items (not field-test). Total Possible Points also represents the test’s balance of representation. 36
Looking at the Results Report – Content Area Results Please note: The Total Possible Points column is organized differently on the Reading Results Report 106 possible points are represented here – they are sorted by “Type of Text” The same 106 possible points are represented here – they are sorted by “Level of Comprehension” 37
Looking at the Results Report – Content Area Results Reading Total Possible Points includes both common and matrix items (not field-test).
Looking at the Results Report – Content Area Results Writing Total Possible Points includes both common and matrix prompts (not field-test).
Looking at the Results Report – Disaggregated Results Important Note: Disaggregated results are not reported for sub-groups of less than 10 41
Looking at the Results Report – Disaggregated Results Because this is a small school, and so many of the sub-groups are smaller than 10, this part of the report is not as useful. Does this data match what we know about the district’s program? But we can still look at district and state disaggregated results. 42
