About the Demographic Sub-Group Report

In any Assessment Report for multiple students, you can use the Breakdown By button in the Features & Tools menu to compare performance between different demographic sub-groups. You may want to do this, for example, in order to identify sub-groups that need more instructional support.

If you prefer, you can view a record of students' past demographic data, including enrolled grade, by setting a date for which to view students.

To view test results by demographic sub-groups:

1.Click Breakdown By in the Features & Tools menu . The Breakdown Attributes window opens. Select up to three demographic categories.

There is also an Include unspecified values checkbox, explained below:

• Some students who complete tests do not have specific demographic information in TIDE. These students are considered to have unspecified values.
• To include data for these students, mark the checkbox.

2.Click Apply. Demographic columns appear, one for each category. These columns replace the columns to the left of the Total accordion section. A row appears for each possible combination of demographic sub-groups in the selected categories. If there are no students in a particular combination, no row appears for that combination.

For information on viewing a single combination of demographic sub-groups, refer to About the Demographic Combination Report.
