Report Population Logic

Students must comply with the following logic in order to be included in the report:

All:

  • The student is not state excluded.
  • The student has an active enrollment record at some point during the reporting period (and not marked as No Show).
  • The student has a Unique ID.

Pre-K:

  • The student was in grade Pre-K at any time during the reporting period.
  • The student had an assessment with a Parent Test or Child Test with a code of BOY or EOY that contains a Percentile Value or Raw Score that occurred during the reporting period.

Kindergarten:

  • The student was in grade KG at any time during the reporting period.
  • The student had an assessment with a Parent Test or Child Test with a code of BOY or EOY that contains a Percentile Value or Raw Score that occurred during the reporting period.
  • For all students that were enrolled on the assessment date but were not assessed, the user will need to enter a -999 score for that student on that assessment in order to be reported correctly to the state.
