Consolidated Ranking Report

  • Updated

The Consolidated Ranking Report shows how students in each class performed on selected assessments in the reporting period you select, and ranks scores.

How do I get to this page?

  1. Log in to Renaissance.
  2. On the Home page, select Reports; in the drop-down list, select Administrator. (Note: If you would normally only have access to administrator reports, there will be no drop-down list; selecting Reports will take you directly to the Administrator tab.)

  3. On the Administrator tab on the Reports page, under “Customisable Reports,” select Consolidated Ranking Report.

Who can do this with default user permissions?

School Network Level Administrators, School Network Dashboard Owners, School Network Staff, School Level Administrators, School Staff

  1. Use the Students drop-down list to select either a single school or choose All Schools to select all the schools in the school network.

    • School administrators and school staff can only select their own schools.

    To select specific schools or classes, 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 school or class.

    Examples of the pop-up windows that appear when the Schools or Classes links are selected. In each case, a search field at the top lets you search for specific schools or classes; a box above the listed schools or classes 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.

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

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

  2. 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).
  3. Use the Group By and Then list drop-down lists to determine how the data in the report should be arranged.

    The Group By choice you make hierarchically determines the Then list options available. For example, if you choose to group by Teachers, you can only list by Classes or Students.

    For some customers in larger school networks, the options in the Group By and Then list drop-down lists are limited to the following:

    Group By Then list
    School Network Schools
  4. Tick Hide Sections Without Data if you want to omit sections of the report that have no data in them.
  5. In the Add Columns section, use the Subject and Assignment Type drop-down lists to choose the assignment types to include in the report.
    On the left, with Reading as the selected subject, there are six assessments and six practices that can be selected as the Assignment Type. On the right, with Maths as the selected subject, Star Maths (the only option) is automatically selected as the Assignment Type.
    The selection you make for Subject determines what appears in the Assignment Type drop-down list. Typical assignment types are shown below for Reading (left) and Maths (right).

    If Maths is the subject, you will not need to choose an assignment type; the only option (Star Maths Enterprise) will be chosen by default.

  6. Use the Measure Category drop-down list to choose the measure you want the report to track. The available measures will change depending on the assignment type you have chosen. For example:

    On the left, Reading is the subject and Star Reading Enterprise is the Assignment Type: this makes five measure categories available. On the right, Reading is the subject and Article Quizzes is the Assignment Type: this makes four measure categories available.

    If you select Percentile Rank (PR) - Proficiency Score, a side menu will open where you can choose the value of the proficiency score (the default is 50).

    If you select Scaled Score (SS), the Unified Scale is used.



    After you select the measure category, use the tick boxes below the drop-down list to choose whether to view Average values for the measure or Median values (or both). (If you selected Percentile Rank (PR) - Proficiency Score as the measure category, these boxes will be Number At/Above and Number Below instead.)

  7. Use the Reporting Period drop-down list to select a marking period or screening window for the measure. You can also 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.

  8. Select + Add New Column to add a second (optional) assignment type and measure for the report (follow the same steps you did for the first one).



    If you add a second column and then change your mind, select the trash can in the upper-right corner to delete it.



  9. Once you are done choosing report options, select Update Report.

  10. The report will generate and then open at the bottom of the page.
    An example report. There is a set of columns for each measure and reporting period. Each student's value for the selected measure is shown, with a ranking of the students in the following column.
    • The data for the selected students is shown, grouped as determined in step 3. (In the example above, the data is grouped by school network and listed by student.)
    • The measures for the chosen assignment types are shown in separate columns—each assignment type spans its own set of columns covering the marking period, the selected measure, and ranks the students based on that measure.
    • The overall averages for the measures are in the bottom row.

      notes on the scores

      • When the average Scaled Score is calculated for a group of students, the Rasch scores are averaged first; that average is then converted to the average Scaled Score for the group. This method is more accurate than using each student's individual Scaled Score for the calculation.
  11. You can change any of the options you have selected and then regenerate the report by selecting Update Report.
  12. Select the PDF icon at the top of the page or the Print or Save button above the first table in the report to create a PDF of the report. You can also select the Download Data button above the first table in the report to download a CSV (comma-separated values) version of the report that you can open in a spreadsheet program.
    The Print or Save and Download Data buttons.
  13. To return to the Reports page, select either Back to Reports or the report icon at the top of the screen.
