Districts Achieving 90% or Higher Completion Rates
2023-2024 School Score Report Guidance
Schools are encouraged to disseminate student testlet score reports accompanied by the OPI provided parent guidance letter in a manner that parallels district progress report delivery. Parents/guardians should receive any newly available testlet reports provided at the next regular reporting interval with all available testlet score reports provided by the end of the year. Testlet reports delivery options include:
- Presenting score reports during parent teacher conferences
- Sending score reports home through the mail with report cards/progress reports
- Sending score reports home with district-provided assessment results
- Secure file transferring digital reports.
As score reports include data on field test items, it is imperative for schools and families to understand while score reports can provide insight into how participating students performed on items aligned to topics taught in class, each question is still in the field-testing phase and will undergo further analysis to ensure validity and reliability. Therefore, score reports should NOT be disseminated or saved in the following manner:
- Included in student cumulative files.
- Digitally included in district Student Information Systems (Infinite Campus/Power School)
- Used/included in IEP/504 determination, evaluation, or documentation
- Used to determine or influence student grades
Please find a link to the School Score Report Dissemination Guidance document to help support districts in sharing student score reports while in extended field testing. Student score reports from Testing Window 2 will be available on January 4, 2024.
