The English Language Arts, Mathematics and Science sections of the BIE Consolidated Report Card details the participation and proficiency levels of BIE students who participated in the Bureau-wide annual assessment. The overall participation goal established by the BIE is a participation rate of 95% or higher for each of the three sections.
Proficiency and Participation - ELA, Mathematics, Science
Logic
This section of the BIE Consolidated Report Card uses student data records stored on the certification table of the BIE Assessment Data Mart. Additional logic can be reviewed in the Logic section of the BIE Assessment Data Mart article.
Participation
Participation reflects the number of students who have participated in the Bureau-wide annual assessment. Student's who do not take the assessment will be counted as a non-participant in the participation calculation.
Participation Details - Science Example
| Element | Description | Location |
|---|---|---|
| The participation goal for each assessment area is 95% or higher. | ||
| Did Not Participate | Reflects the percentage of students whose participation status was "did not participate". If a student is enrolled within the school during the entire testing window and does not complete one or more items, the student will be counted as a nonparticipant. Students must be enrolled within the school for the entire testing window and take the annual assessment to be considered as participated and included in the participation calculation. | Data Mart: BIE Assessment Data Mart Data Table: BIEDMAssessmentCertification Element: testType of ELA testType of MTH testType of SCI participationStatus |
| Regular Assessment | Reflects the percentage of students whose participation status indicates they took a regular assessment. | Data Mart: BIE Assessment Data Mart Data Table: BIEDMAssessmentCertification Element: testType of ELA testType of MTH testType of SCI |

Proficiency
Proficiency reflects the level of understanding students have reached based on a standard assessment. Proficiency standards include: Exceeds, Meets, Below and Well Below. Students who make up the "Exceeds" or "Meets" percentages have demonstrated an understanding at or above the standard for their grade level. For this, a bar chart is used.
| Skill Level | Description |
|---|---|
| Exceeds | Reflects the percentage of students who’s proficiency level is Exceeds (Level 4). |
| Meets | Reflects the percentage of students who’s proficiency level is Meets (Level 3). |
| Below | Reflects the percentage of students who’s proficiency level is Below (Level 2). |
| Well Below | Reflects the percentage of students who’s proficiency level is Well Below (Level 1). |
Field Descriptions
Demographic data reported for the ELA, Mathematics and Science sections of the BIE Consolidated Report Card is collected from the BIE Assessment Data Mart. Refer to the BIE Assessment Data Mart Reported Fields section of the BIE Assessment Data Mart article for additional field information and logic.
Proficiency Example - Mathematics
If a demographic subgroup has ten or less students, a lock icon will display for the subgroup to protect student privacy and prevent student identification.
| Field Name | Description | Location |
