Data Reported

Results from the ɬÀï·¬ Interim Assessments are reported in Cambium's centralized reporting system (CRS). CRS contains district-, campus-, and student-level reports. Reports at the student level will include the following data:

  • the student’s response to each test question,
  • the TEKS student expectation for each test question,
  • a pop-up window that shows the test question,Ìý
  • Item-level reporting information, and
  • reporting category targets.

Reports will continue to include data files and percentages representing the statistical probability of achieving Approaches, Meets, and Masters grade level expectations on ɬÀï·¬.

Although educators are able to view secure interim test items within CRS as they are viewing student results, these secure test items should NOT be downloaded or printed. Ìý
