Exporting Star CBM Assessment Scores (Downloading Data/CSV Files) – Star Help

In Star CBM, you can export any of the following to a comma-separated value (.csv) file, which can be opened in many spreadsheet programs:

All reading or math scores for a class or group and the current school year
All reading or math scores for a specific student across school years
All scores for a specific student and measure for the current school year

If you prefer to save results to a file (PDF) or print results, you can use the Print or Save option instead.

Note: Scores for measures that are being Field Tested are not included in exported data.

Who can do this with the standard user permissions?

What Is In the Exported Files?

The exported .csv files include a row for each assessment, and each row includes the following information. For students who have not taken assessments, you will see one row without data. Exported files include columns that apply to Star Reading, Star Math, and Star Early Literacy; those columns are empty when you export information for Star CBM.

client ID (a short form of the name for your Renaissance site)
school name
class name
teacher name (for the class)
student ID
student name
student's grade at the time of the assessment

CBM benchmark (if available for the measure and grade) - At/Above Benchmark, On Watch, Intervention, or At Risk
off-grade check mark - for scores that don't have benchmarks for the current grade and season, the column shows "Yes" for scores that would be At/Above Benchmark in the nearest grade and season where benchmarks exist for the measure (for Sight and High-Frequency Words, Passage Oral Reading, or Encoding, when the student is assessed at another grade level, the benchmarks for the assessment's grade level and the nearest season to the student's grade are used for the check mark); "No" means the score would not be At/Above benchmark; "N/A" means the score has benchmarks, so this field does not apply

correct / minute - equated CPM (correct per minute) score
goal name (for activities that apply to a goal - this is only shown when you download data from the Student Details page)*
rate of improvement (only in files downloaded from the Student Details page) - for assessments that are part of a goal, the increase in CPM scores per week between the initial test and this test; the initial test has a dash in this field*
percent correct
Percentile Rank
decile - for scores with benchmarks only (groups of Percentile Ranks;
PRs of 1-10 = 1,

41-50 = 5,
51-60 = 6,
61-70 = 7,
71-80 = 8,
81-90 = 9,
and 91-100 = 10;
1 is the lowest group of scores, and 10 is highest)
quartile - for scores with benchmarks only (groups of Percentile Ranks;
PRs of 1-25 = 1,
26-50 = 2,
51-75 = 3,
76-100 - 4;
1 is the lowest group of scores, and 4 is highest)

time taken (in seconds)
date and time completed based on UTC time, not local time zones - for example, 2020-12-04T17:57:33.686Z would indicate a test was administered on 12/4/2020 at 12:57 PM EST
