MEAP PERCENT PROFICIENT REPORT

What: Proficient versus not proficient students report or
performance level break down report

Why: Captures students (by percentage or counts) that are

proficient or not proficient by ethnicity, Special Ed, socio
economic or grade. This report can also be changed to report by
performance level

When building the report, you have the option to

include state mandated AYP targets. You can include
targets for future years to gauge how close your
students are to meeting a future target.

MEAP REPORT
What: Student performance level and scaled score
review on the MEAP test

Why: Review student data relative to the cut scores on

the MEAP test

The Display Cut Scores option when building

the report is only available when all students on
the report have taken the same test. For example,
if the report is limited to the 2007-08 6th graders,
then the option is likely available. If students in
the report represent scores from more than one
test, cut scores cannot be displayed.

view)

Why: Identifies specific students who demonstrated performance

level growth or decline, or remained the same

After the report is built, click the Differential button to view the
degree of change, then click the total student numbers at the
bottom right side of the report; these are the students whose
performance levels rose, and potentially need intervention.
