    The Subject and Assessment Types drop-down lists.

    Math Star Math Algebra
    Math Star Math Geometry
    Math Spanish Star Math Spanish. Note: You will not need to select an assessment type; Star Math Spanish is the only assessment type and will automatically be chosen.
  2. Use the School drop-down list to select a school.

    One school being selected from the School drop-down list.
    • If you are assigned to only one school, you will not see the School drop-down list.
    • School administrators and school staff can only select their own schools.
    • Teachers can only select schools that they are assigned to.
  3. Use the Students drop-down list to select either a single class at the chosen school, or choose All Classes to select all the classes at the chosen school.

    All Classes being selected from the Students drop-down list.
    • School administrators and school staff can only select classes in their own school.
    • Teachers can only select their own classes.

    To select specific classes, groups, or students at the chosen school, use the links below the Students drop-down list. Selecting one of these links will open a corresponding pop-up window; in that window, check the box at the top of the list to select all the available choices, or make individual selections below it. You can enter search criteria in the field at the top of the window to find a specific class, group, or student. (In the "Select Students" pop-up window, district- and school-level users can select a grade to narrow down the list of students.)

    Examples of the pop-up windows that appear when the Classes, Groups, or Students links are selected. In each case, a search field at the top lets you search for specific classes, groups, or students; a check box above the listed classes, groups, or students lets you select or deselect all of them at once; and the Clear All link, Cancel button, and Save Selection buttons are at the bottom. In the Select Students window, there is a drop-down list to the left of the search field where district- and school-level users can specify a single grade to search within.

    • School administrators and school staff can only select classes, groups, or students in their own school.
    • Teachers can only select their own classes, their own groups, or students enrolled in one of their own classes.

    Once you have made your choices, select Save Selection at the bottom of the pop-up window.

  4. If you want to use demographic data to further refine the data in the report, select Change Demographics... (or Choose Demographics...)

    The Change Demographics button.

    By default, the "All" option is chosen for Ethnicity, Gender, Language, and Grade Level. To reduce the scope, choose the "Select" option at the top of the appropriate column and then check your selections in that column.

    All ethnicities, all genders, two languages (English and Hmong), and three grade levels (grades 2, 3, and 4) have been selected.
    In the example above, the user has selected two Languages and three Grade Levels, while leaving Ethnicity and Gender at the default "All" options. Note: The Filter Reports by Ethnicity user permission may be set to prevent the use of ethnicities as a filter.

    By default, the "All" option is chosen for Characteristics. To reduce the scope, choose Select Characteristics... and then check each characteristic you want students in the report to have. You must also choose any or all (after "Include students with") to specify whether students with any of the selected characteristics will be included in the report or only those with all of the selected characteristics.

    Two characteristics have been selected. The Apply and Cancel buttons are at the bottom.
    In the example above, the user selected two Characteristics (ADA and ESL). Because any is selected, the report will include students who are ADA, ESL, or both. If all had been selected, only students who are both ADA and ESL would be included. Note: The Filter Reports by Characteristics user permission may be set to prevent the use of characteristics as a filter.

    Once you are finished choosing demographic options, select Apply at the bottom of the window to save your choices (or Cancel to close the window without saving your choices).
  5. Use the Date Range drop-down list to choose the dates you want to generate the report for. You can select an existing marking period, screening window, or you can select Custom... and set your own dates (use the calendars to select a range of dates or type them in the fields using m/d/yyyy format; then select Apply to use the dates you have chosen or Cancel to close this pop-up without saving your selection).
    The user has chosen to select custom dates. A pop-up calendar is open, allowing the user to choose the dates. The dates can also be entered in the fields above the calendar. The Apply and Cancel buttons are in the upper-right corner of the pop-up window.

    If schools use their own unique date ranges within a district screening window, those ranges will all have the same name. To help you tell them apart, the dates they cover will be added to the end of the name.

    Three Fall screening windows, with three different date ranges to differentiate them (9/1 to 9/10, 9/10 to 9/20, and 9/20 to 9/30).

  6. If necessary, use the Scale drop-down list to choose which scale you want to use for the scores on the report.

    The Scale drop-down list.

    notes on the scales

    • The Lexile® Scale will not be a selectable option if the report is being run for Star Early Literacy Spanish, Star Math English, or Star Math Spanish.
    • The Star Enterprise scale is only available in Mississippi; however, if the Star Scale Transition Preference is set to Show Unified Scale Only for sites in Mississippi, the Star Enterprise Scale will not be an option in this list.
  7. Finally:
    The check boxes described below.
    • Check Show Grade Equivalent to include Grade Equivalent scores in the report.
    • Check Show Testing Location if you want the report to show whether students tested at the school or remotely.
    • Check Page Break Between Students to have each student's report start on its own page.
    • Check Hide Students Without Data if you want to have students without test data omitted from the report.
    • Check Show Accommodation Details if you want to include a detailed list of any accommodations used by a student during an assessment.
  8. Once you are done choosing report options, select Update Report.

    The Update Report button.
  9. The report will generate and then open at the bottom of the page.
    An example report. The test-taking data for a single student is shown, including testing dates, scores, and whether the student tested at the school.
    • The test record for each of the selected students is shown. Every test (of the type selected) taken during the chosen date range is listed, with the most recent test at the top. The total number of tests taken is listed at the bottom.
    • The date of each test is listed, along with the scores from that test. You will also see whether the student took the test in school (if you selected that option earlier; "N/A" means either the test was taken before this tracking feature was added to the program or your school/district is not tracking this information). The scores shown will vary based on the type of test selected; the example above shows scores from a Star Math Enterprise (English) assessment.
    • If the student had accommodations enabled during the test, icons indicating this will be attached to the date of the test (audio , accommodations , assistive technology , unlimited/extended time , or alternate response ). If you checked Show Accommodation Details earlier a detailed breakdown of the accommodations will be shown:

      A test with detailed accommodations information shown.

    notes on the scores

    • If you selected a scale earlier, the score in the Score column is shown in that scale.
    • If the following conditions are met:
      then the Lexile® range will be shown instead of the ZPD.
    • If the report is for Star Math Enterprise (English) or Star Math Progress Monitoring (English) assessments and the Quantile® measure preference has been set to show Quantile® Measures, the report will show Quantile® measures. (At this time, Quantile® Measures are not available for Star Math Spanish, Star Math Algebra, or Star Math Geometry assessments.)
  10. You can change any of the options you have selected and then regenerate the report by selecting Update Report.
  11. To print the report, select the PDF icon at the top of the screen: .
  12. To return to the Reports page, select either Back to Reports or the report icon at the top of the screen.
