About the District Performance on Test Report

District-level users can access the District Performance on Test report, which displays a row of data for each school in the district that completed the given assessment.

To access the District Performance on Test report:

In the Performance on Tests report, click an assessment name.

Table 9 describes the columns in the District Performance on Test report. The columns vary depending on the test. Adaptive test results do not include item-level data at this level. In reports with item-level data, clicking the Standards Keys toggle in the row of filter details below the report table heading allows you to view the standards for each item.

Table 9: Columns in the District Performance on Test Report
Column	Description
School	This column includes the following rows: State: Displays aggregate data, such as mean average scores, for all the students in the state who completed the assessment. These aggregates may be delayed depending on your state's policies, and may not be available for all tests. District: Displays aggregate data, such as mean average scores, for all the students in the district who completed the assessment. [School Name]: Displays aggregate data, such as mean average scores, for the students in that individual school. To access the School Performance on Test report, click a school name.
Total	Displays student performance data for the entire assessment. This column consists of multiple sub-columns, which may include the following: Student Count: Number of students who completed the assessment. Average Score: Mean average assessment score. Performance Distribution: The percentage and count of students who performed at each performance level. Percent Proficient: Percentage of students who achieved proficiency, as determined by performance level.
5 Items on Which Students Performed the Best	When there are 10 or more items, this column displays the five assessment items with the highest mean average score for students in the district, ordered by their sequence in the test. Item Numbers, Max Points and Points Earned: This sub-column is divided into further sub-columns. Each one displays the item number, below that the maximum score possible for the item, and below that the mean average number of points earned for that item. When you toggle the report to show the standards to which items are aligned, standard keys appear below each item number. You can click the more information button beside each key or set of keys to view a pop-up legend containing the full text of each cluster (category of standards) and each standard.
5 Items on Which Students Performed the Worst	When there are 10 or more items, this column displays the five assessment items with the lowest mean average score for students in the district, ordered by their sequence in the test. Has the same layout as 5 Items on Which Students Performed the Best.
[Reporting Category]* (multiple columns)	Displays student performance data for each reporting category. Each column contains sub-columns, which may include the following: Average Score: Mean average scores in the reporting category. Performance Distribution: The percentage of students who performed at each performance level for the reporting category. Item Numbers, Max Points and Points Earned: This sub-column is divided into further sub-columns. Each one displays the item number, below that the maximum score possible for the item, and below that the mean average number of points earned for that item. When you toggle the report to show the standards to which items are aligned, standard keys appear below each item number. You can click the more information button beside each key or set of keys to view a pop-up legend containing the full text of each cluster (category of standards) and each standard.
Writing Dimensions	Displays information on how each group of students performed on each writing dimension. Writing dimensions measure different aspects of writing performance. Contains the following columns under the Essay header: [Essay type]: An essay type in the test. [Writing dimension]: A writing dimension within the essay type, as listed in item rubrics. [Point value]: A sub-column for each possible item point value for the writing dimension. Each point value sub-column displays the percentage and number of students who earned that number of points. For each dimension, the lowest and highest point values are sometimes highlighted and marked with arrow icons in the rows with the highest percentages. This allows you to quickly identify groups of students who are performing well and those who may need additional support. Note that highlighting and arrow icons will not appear where they are not useful. A report containing only one row of data will not have them, and neither will a row in which the percentages are "n/a" or are all the same. To learn more about highlighting and arrow icons, click the more information button in the Essay header. A legend expands.

*For assessments without multiple reporting categories, this column is labeled "Total Items" and displays data for all the items on the assessment.
