Analyzing the district-level Cumulative Standards Proficiency report in Imagine MyPath

The district-level Cumulative Standards Proficiency report helps Administrators:

• Compare performance patterns across schools and grade levels
• Identify schools needing additional support in specific domains
• Make data-driven decisions about resource allocation and professional development

District and School Administrators with access to multiple schools: After reading the Overview article and accessing the report on your device, use this article to help you analyze district-level data in the Cumulative Standards Proficiency report.

To analyze the district-level Cumulative Standards Proficiency report:

1. Use the filters to customize the displayed data.
   A. Select a Subject (Math or Reading)
   B. Select a Rostered Grade if you want to focus on a specific grade level across schools
   C. Adjust View Standards by Grade to analyze performance on different grade-level standards—the default is the lowest grade-level standard that appears in a student's learning path
   

    Note

   The number to the right of the report title is the number of students in the school, not necessarily the number of students in the report. Only students in the selected rostered grade who have been assessed on items mapped to relevant standards at the selected grade level will display in the report.

2. Review the Overall Performance bar chart (top left) to see a distribution of assessed standards, categorized into different proficiency levels.
   • Each bar represents the number of standards at that proficiency level
   • Total standards assessed at the selected grade level are displayed at the bottom
   • A list of low-performing schools or grades may appear depending on what view you have selected
     

3. The Domain Performance section (top right) provides data for domain-level analysis:

   • Average scores for each domain are shown
   • Student distribution across proficiency levels is shown in horizontal bars with the number of students in each proficiency level displayed within each bar
   • Domains are arranged from lowest to highest average score
     

    Note

   The screenshots in this article show domains and standards from Common Core State Standards, but the domains and standards that appear in your report will be specific to your state's educational standards.

4. The Data Table (bottom) presents domain- and standard-level performance data for each school or grade level, allowing you to compare individual school averages to the district average and analyze performance patterns across domains/standards.
   

   View options:

   • Toggle between School and Grade views using the tabs
     
   • School view displays individual schools with student counts
     
   • Grade view organizes data by rostered grade levels
     

   Domain-level analysis:

   • The collapsed view shows domain averages for the district and schools or grades
     
   • The District Average is shown in the top row for easy comparisons to data within the table. Look for patterns in domain performance across schools or grade levels. For example, students in this district appear to be consistently struggling to achieve proficiency in the following domains: Number and Operations in Base Ten and Operations and Algebraic Thinking.
     

   Standard-level analysis:

   • Click a plus sign in a domain header or Expand Domains to view standards within each domain
     
   • View individual standard scores for the district and schools or grades. Identify standards that show low proficiency across schools or grade levels.
     
   • Click a minus sign in a domain header or Collapse Domains to return to the domain view
