  1. Use the Subject drop-down list to select the subject for the report: Reading or Maths.

    Reading Star Reading Enterprise
    Reading Star Early Literacy

    (If Maths is the chosen subject, you will not need to select Star Maths Enterprise as the Assessment Type.)

    • You can only create the report for one school at a time.
    • School level administrators, school staff, and teachers can only select one of their own schools.
    • If you only have access to a single school, you will not need to make a selection (the School drop-down list will not be shown in this case).
  4. Use the Students drop-down list to select either a single class at the chosen school, or choose All Classes to select all the classes at the chosen school.

    • School administrators and school staff can only select classes in their own school.
    • Teachers can only select their own classes.

    To select specific classes, groups, or students at the chosen school, use the links below the Students drop-down list. Selecting one of these links will open a corresponding pop-up window; in that window, tick the box at the top of the list to select all the available choices, or make individual selections below it. You can enter search criteria in the field at the top of the window to find a specific class, group, or student. (In the "Select Students" pop-up window, school network- and school-level users can select a year to narrow down the list of students.)
    Examples of the pop-up windows that appear when the Classes, Groups, or Students links are selected. In each case, a search field at the top lets you search for specific classes, groups, or students; a tick box above the listed classes, groups, or students lets you select or deselect all of them at once; and the Clear All link, Cancel button, and Save Selection buttons are at the bottom. In the Select Students window, there is a drop-down list to the left of the search field where school network- and school-level users can specify a single year to search within.

    • School administrators and school staff can only select classes, groups, or students in their own school.
    • Teachers can only select their own classes, their own groups, or students enrolled in one of their own classes.

    Once you have made your choices, select Save Selection at the bottom of the pop-up window.

  5. If you want to use demographic data to further refine the data in the report, select Choose Demographics...

    By default, the "All" option is chosen for Ethnicity, Gender, Language, and Year Level. To reduce the scope, choose the "Select" option at the top of the appropriate column and then tick your selections in that column.

    In the example above, the user has selected two Languages and three Year Levels, while leaving Ethnicity and Gender at the default "All" options. Note: The Filter Reports by Ethnicity user permission may be set to prevent the use of ethnicities as a filter.

    By default, the "All" option is chosen for Characteristics. To reduce the scope, choose Select Characteristics... and then tick each characteristic you want students in the report to have. You must also choose any or all (after "Include students with") to specify whether students with any of the selected characteristics will be included in the report or only those with all of the selected characteristics.

    In the example above, the user selected two Characteristics (Children from Service Families and EAL Competent). Because any is selected, the report will include students who are Children from Service Families, EAL Competent, or both. If all had been selected, only students who are both Children from Service Families and EAL Competent would be included. Note: The Filter Reports by Characteristics user permission may be set to prevent the use of characteristics as a filter.

    Once you are finished choosing demographic options, select Apply at the bottom of the window to save your choices (or Cancel to close the window without saving your choices).
  6. Use the Group By drop-down list to choose how you want the information in the report to be grouped: by classes/groups or years.

  7. Use the Date Range #1 drop-down list to choose the dates you want to generate the report for. You can select an existing marking period, screening window, or you can select Custom... and set your own dates (use the calendars to select a range of dates or type them in the fields using dd/mm/yyyy format; then select Apply to use the dates you have chosen or Cancel to close this pop-up without saving your selection). Dates can be in the current school year or up to three years prior to the current school year.
    The user has chosen to select custom dates. A pop-up calendar is open, allowing the user to choose the dates. The dates can also be entered in the fields above the calendar. The Apply and Cancel buttons are in the upper-right corner of the pop-up window.

    If schools use their own unique date ranges within a school network screening window, those ranges will all have the same name. To help you tell them apart, the dates they cover will be added to the end of the name.

    You can also select + Date Range next to the Date Range #1 field to create another Date Range field (you can have up to 10 date ranges on the report). Any date ranges you add beyond the first will have a trash can icon near the upper-right corner—select it to delete that date range.

  8. If necessary, use the Scale drop-down list to choose which scale you want to use for the scores on the report.


    The Lexile® Scale will not be a selectable option if the report is being run for Star Maths.

  9. To the right of the Scale drop-down list, tick Hide Groups Without Data if you want groups without test data omitted from the report.
  10. Once you are done choosing report options, select Update Report.

  11. The report will generate and then open at the bottom of the page.
    An example report. For the selected class, a graph shows their average scaled scores in two date ranges, showing their position in relation to the Pathway to Proficiency. Tables at the bottom show a summary of the average scaled scores and indicate which students are on the Pathway to Proficiency.
    • For each class or group, a graph shows the average test scores during the selected date ranges, measured against the scale you selected, along with a line indicating the pathway to proficiency (a legend below the graph defines the pathway and explains what the various elements of the graph represent).
    • If the graph shows data for at least three date ranges, a trend line is also shown. A trend line is a straight line intersecting a group of data points on a graph; its location and slope are determined through statistical analysis. It indicates whether the overall scores for the class are rising, falling, or remaining the same.
    • The data is also summarized in two tables below the graph. The first table is a summary of the data used to create the graph, including numerical and percentage breakdowns of the students who tested who are below or on the pathway to proficiency. The second table is a list of the students who are on the pathway to proficiency (based on their most recent test scores). This list also includes data about the students' most recent test: the class/group and teacher when the test was taken, the date of the most recent test, and the students' test scores.
  12. You can change any of the options you have selected and then regenerate the report by selecting Update Report.
  13. To print the report, select the PDF icon at the top of the screen: .
  14. To return to the Reports page, select either Back to Reports or the report icon at the top of the screen.
