Overview of the MyPath Assessment report

 Note

This article covers the new version of the MyPath Assessment report, which includes domain-level reporting. Your organization will have access to this report once your 2024 reset has occurred and you begin the 2024–2025 academic session.

The MyPath Assessment report provides students' overall grade-level placement information as well as detailed information about student performance in each assessment domain in Math and Reading. The students' overall and domain-level assessed grades are determined using the scaled score ranges located here. The report prominently displays those areas where students need the most help or require your most attention and intervention.

The MyPath Assessment report updates in near real-time after students complete an assessment, and information is available at the student, class, grade, school, and district levels. Teachers and Administrators can view the organizations or classes and students under their purview. 

 Caution

This report applies only to students who take the MyPath Assessment, not the NWEA Growth or Renaissance Star Assessments.

To access and run the report:

  1. Log in to Imagine MyPath.
  2. Depending on your role and the information to which you have access, from the left navigation pane, select a district, school, or class you wish to view.
  3. Go to Reports and select MyPath Assessment Report.
  4. The report opens with 3 main sections:
    1. Overall Placement (At-a-Glance View)

    2. Domain Performance (5-Minute View)

    3. Data Table (Detailed View)

     Note

    The image above is of a school-level report. Your view will look slightly different if you open it at the district or class level, and significantly different once you drill down to the student level. The MyPath Assessment report for individual students contains only 2 sections.

  5. Use the Subject and Assessment drop-down menus in the top left to select which data appears in your report. 

    Subject drop-down menu: 


    Assessment drop-down menu:
    Use the checkboxes to select/deselect the desired assessment(s), then click Apply Changes.

     Note

    Growth calculations can only appear in the report when more than one assessment is selected.

  6. In the bottom section of the report, you can drill down all the way to an individual student level by clicking the school and/or class hyperlinks.

  7. Throughout the report, the following terms and symbols are used. With the exception of Growth, these items only appear on the student- and class-level reports.

    Term or Symbol Description
    Growth A numeric value of the difference in scaled scores over time, either for the MyPath Assessment as a whole or within each domain. Growth can only be calculated when students have taken more than one assessment.
    Quantile® 

    The Quantile measure (Q) is a measure of the student's math ability. It helps identify the math concepts students already know as well as match students with the concepts they are ready to learn.

    The Quantile measures range from EM400 to 1650Q. (EM stands for Emerging Mathematician.)

    Lexile® 

    The Lexile measure (L) is a measure of the student's reading ability. It provides information to educators about the appropriate text complexity of reading materials.

    The Lexile score ranges from BR1300L to 1825L. (BR stands for Beginning Reader.)

    Percentile

    This is the student's National Percentile Rank. It is the percentage of students nationwide in the same grade who scored the same as or below the student. For example, if a student's Percentile is 72, then 72% of students in the same grade scored the same or below this student. By extension, 28% of students nationwide in the same grade scored higher.

    National Percentile Rank ranges from 1 to 99.

    Rapid Guessing flag

    This symbol alerts you that the student likely rushed through the assessment without carefully considering each question. Rapid Guessing is defined as a student answering 20% or more of the questions on the assessment in less than 5 seconds each. Consider reassigning the assessment to students with this flag, so they can take the assessment again and get a score more in line with their true abilities.

    Spanish indicator

    This symbol lets you know that the student took the Math assessment in Spanish. (The MyPath Assessment is only available in Spanish in Math, not Reading.)

     Tips

    Throughout this report:

    • A1 = Assessment 1, A2 = Assessment 2, and A3 = Assessment 3.
    • Hover over a portion of a bar graph to view more details.
             
    • A gray pipeline running through a graph separates those students working on or above grade level from those students working below grade level.
    • Unless otherwise indicated, the color-coding in the report is as follows:
      Color Meaning
      Red 2 or more grades below
      Orange 1 grade below 
      Mint green On grade level 
      Dark green Above grade level
