How Recent Is the Data?
To the right of the School and/or Class or Group drop-down list(s), you'll see the date and time when data was last updated. When you're viewing data for all schools, the data is updated nightly. When you're viewing data for individual classes, the data is current.
Choosing How to View the Data
Once you have chosen which data to view, use the options above the table to decide how to view the data. If you are viewing data for all schools, you can choose to view data by School or Grade. The choice that you make determines what appears in the first column of the table and how data is grouped.
If you view data for one school, you can choose to view data by grade, teacher, or class/group.
Using the Screening Data
The table helps you see your screening progress in Star CBM. Depending on the choices you made on the page, you will see data for each school, grade, teacher, or class/group. For each of these, you'll see the following (based on the criteria you selected at the top of the page).
You can sort the table by any column by selecting the column heading; select the heading again to reverse the order.
- % Screened: For students who are in grades K-6 for Star CBM Reading, grades 1-4 for Star CBM Lectura, or grades K-3 for Star CBM Math, this is the percentage of students who have completed the recommended screening assessment in the selected screening window.
What are the screening windows?
Each year, Star CBM includes three screening windows, whose dates cannot be changed:
- Fall Starts on the school year start date or August 1 (whichever is earlier) and runs through November 30.
- Winter is from December 1 through March 31.
- Spring begins April 1 and runs through the end of the school year or July 31.
What are the recommended screening measures for each grade?
The recommended screening measure for each student is based on the student's grade; see the table below. Since Proficiency Rate is based on the scores on the recommended measures for all students, different measures are included in the rate based on the grades of the students in your school(s).
