Grade Report

This MAP report lists all students in a district or school grouped by grade with summary and optional detail information for test events in the term. Administrators and Assessment Coordinators can use this report to analyze performance and aggregate results at the grade level in a school.

Detail information may include:

• Survey and Survey with Goals test types
• Valid and invalid tests
• Growth and non-growth tests.

Summary information shows only growth tests.

The grade report does not include Skills Checklists or Screening test types or incomplete test events.

Grade Reports can include optional grouping of the results data by gender or ethnicity. They are available for any term in the current or previous academic years where data are available.

For information about each part of the report, see the Reports Reference, available from the MAP Reports landing page.

For information about conducting a response to intervention screening using this report, see How to Screen for an RTI Program.

Field Descriptions

The fields and options shown depend on the following:

• Your role in the MAP system
• Whether you are assigned to only one school
• Whether you select more than one school

Use the following required fields to order this report:

Term: List of terms in the current and previous academic year for students in your district. The default setting is the current term.

School: List of schools. Administrators may be able to select more than one school if they are assigned to multiple schools.

Grade: List of grades in the selected schools.

Subject: List of subjects.

Report Options: Use the following options to customize report information:

Group By: Always provides summary information by subject. If Test Name is specified, also provides summary information by test taken.

Optional Grouping: Includes additional summary data by gender or ethnicity in addition to grouping by subject. If optional grouping is not selected, the summary data is grouped by subject and optionally by test taken. The default option is None.

Student Detail Display: Shows detail information if selected. All reports have an overall summary page.

Sort Order: Specifies the order of report results for the selected grade by:

Student Name sorts students in alphabetical order.

Test RIT sorts by student RIT score in ascending numeric order.

Goal Performance Display: Shows any individual goal RIT performance data for growth tests and other valid tests if selected. The number of goals and their names is based on the specific test event. Clear this check box to exclude the goal scores from the report. This selection is available only when information is grouped by test name.

Goal Range: Includes goals for the test events by:

• Goal Descriptor translates the percentile to one of the following:
  • Low: Student goal scores are lower than the 21st percentile
  • LoAvg:  Student goal scores fall within the 21st-40th percentile
  • Avg: Student goal scores fall within the 41st-60th percentile
  • HiAvg: Student goal scores fall within the 61st-80th percentile
  • High: Student goal scores fall within the 81st percentile or higher
  • If goal performance cannot be calculated, an asterisk (*) appears. The student may have answered too many items incorrectly, too few items may have been available in the RIT range assessed, or norms data for percentiles may be unavailable.
• Goal RIT Ranges reports the student’s goal RIT range, such as 198-213.

Small Group Display:Overrides the report summary default and reports summary data for groups of fewer than ten students with growth test scores. Because summary data for small groups is not statistically reliable, it is typically not included in reports.

Report Format: Sets the report output file type as PDF (default) or spreadsheet file in XML format.
