Understanding the Graph

Taking action based on students' projection probabilities can affect their academic outcomes. If a student's projection report indicates a low probability of success, and educators respond by providing additional support and interventions, the student may outperform the projection.

Student information is not available when the following is true:

  • You do not have access to student reports

Student Testing History

Reference Population

The Reference Population refers to the population of students who took the available assessments. This reference is used as the comparison for analysis.

Focus Subject

Each graph displays selections with different colored shapes representing each subject. The shapes at the foreground of the graph represent the selected Tests and Subjects on the right Testing History panel. The gray shapes in the background represent other tests and subjects that have not been selected.

Growth Across Time

None Selected

When you select None Selected under the Growth Across Time options for the Testing History graph, you can view a visual representation of a student's testing history. None Selected provides student testing history across all subjects.

Past Expected

When you select Past Expected under the Growth Across Time options for the Testing History graph, you can view a visual representation of calculations based on the student's past testing history and current cohort of test takers.

  • The bell curve represents the possible range of likely scores for the student.
  • The dotted line represents the most likely score the student will achieve.
  • The shaded yellow portion of the bell curve represents the student's actual score they achieved.
  • The colored squares represent the actual score for the selected Focus Subject.
  • Past Expected is calculated using the predictive model, which might differ from the model used in value-added reporting.

Past Projected

When you select Past Projected under the Growth Across Time options for the Testing History graph, you can view a visual representation of calculations based on the student's past testing history prior year's cohort of test takers.

  • The bell curve represents the possible range of likely scores for the student.

  • The dotted line represents the most likely score the student will achieve.

  • The colored dots represent the actual score for the selected Focus Subject.

Future Projected

When you select Future Projected under the Growth Across Time options for the Testing History graph, you can view a visual representation of calculations based on the student's past testing history and prior year's cohort of test takers.

  • The bell curve represents the possible range of likely scores on a test a student has not yet taken.

  • The dotted line represents the most likely score the student will achieve.

  • The shaded area within Projection Probability represents the probability of reaching each performance level/state percentile for the selected assessment or, Focus Subject.

Testing History

The testing history table provides additional information about the student assessment history.
