2013-2014 Student Assessment

  1. Submit student assessment records during reporting periods 2, 3 and 5 for students in KG-12 membership who have been targeted for reading intervention consistent with the district’s K-12 Comprehensive Reading Plan. Generally, report three scores a year; one in October, one in February and one at the end of the year. Send only assessment information that has not been sent in a previous reporting period and only assessment information that is not being reported via the Progress Monitoring and Reporting Network (PMRN).

  2. Also submit student assessment records during reporting period 5 for students who took one or more Advanced Placement Test (APT), Cambridge Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) or International Baccalaureate Program (IBP) exams during the school year. For specific reporting information see the chart below.

  3. TEST SCORE: Submit up to two Test Score/Test Score Type combinations for the Test Subject Content area being reported. Zeroes may be a valid test score. If only one Test Score is being submitted on a record, report all zeroes for the second Test Score.

  4. TEST SCORE – Test scores must be reported as numbers, not letters, on this format and must be four digits, right-justified with leading zeroes. Test score conversions from letters to numbers for the AICE and IBP exams are provided in the table below.

  5. TEST SCORE TYPES: For standardized tests, submit a normal curve equivalent (NC) for the first Test Score Type/Test Score combination and a scale score (SS) for the second Test Score Type/Test Score combination or a lexile score (LX) for the first Test Score Type/Test Score combination and a national percentile (NP) for the second Test Score Type/Test Score combination. Test scores types to be used for the APT, AICE and IBP exams are provided in the table below.
