Accessing Benchmark Performance Levels
Overview of Benchmark Performance Levels
The Benchmark Performance Level Report categorizes student progress on a series of benchmark assessments that have been placed on a common scale. This report displays the students' Developmental Level (DL) score and performance level relative to the cut score on each assessment taken. By default, the cut scores on the benchmark assessments are set to correspond to percentile ranks that were identified to facilitate the classification of students for intervention or enrichment. Students with scores at or above the "passing' cut score are classified as having met the standards on the benchmark test. In the report a chart displays the percent and count of students in each performance level, and provides access to the dis-aggregated data that is being displayed in the chart.
Note: If your district provided state test scores for forecasting, then the cut scores on the benchmark assessments are set to correspond to the cut scores on the state standardized test. Additionally, the performance levels will reflect the language of the levels on the state test.
