School Administrators and District Administrators can run the Cumulative Performance report to pull student data from Imagine Language & Literacy in a highly customizable format. You can choose a global (preset) filter or create your own.
This article explains how to access the report and then explains the three sections of the report: the Main Filters, the Results, and the additional Filters. The FAQs at the end of the article provide further guidance on using this report.

- Up to 250 results load at one time. If you wish to view all of your results, keep clicking Load More at the bottom of the page until the button becomes disabled, which means there are no further result to load.

| Grade Level | Select one or more grade levels to include in the report. The default setting is all applicable grade levels. Only the grade levels of students rostered in Imagine Language & Literacy in your school or district appear in the menu. If you are at a K-5 elementary school, for example, sixth grade will not be an option for you to select. |
| Assessment Type | Select one or more assessment types to include in the report. Only the choices applicable to your school or district will display. The possible selections are Embedded (the default Imagine Language & Literacy Benchmark), RLA (the Reading Level Assessment), NWEA, Galileo, and none. None means that the student started an assessment but has not yet finished. (A student who has been rostered but has never logged in yet will not appear on the report at all.) |

Filters section
This portion of the report contains additional filters beyond what is available in the Main Filters section. It is for those who want to take a deeper dive into the data.
Notes
- The filters on the right side of the screen filter the entire data set, not just the results that have been loaded on your page.
- Only the filter options applicable to the groups, teachers, and schools you've selected will appear. For example, if none of the students in your filters have completed more than an hour in the program, 60+ will not appear as an option to select in your Activity Time per Week (Year-to-Date) filter. However, if you edit the filters and select different schools, 60+ will appear in the Activity Time per Week filter if the students in the new schools you selected have reached this usage milestone.
- The filters are cumulative, meaning that they work together (i.e., if you select multiple filters, the results contain only the students who meet all the requirements of the all filters.)
- Use the options on the far right side of the screen to apply filters to the report. To edit an individual filter, click the yellow Include all button or hover over the top right corner of a filter and click the pencil icon that appears.
Many filters also contain an arrow you can click to access the edit window. - To turn a filter off, click the radio button in the slider. The slider will turn from yellow to gray. Turning the filter off is equivalent to setting it to Include All. Turning a filter off means that the filter will not impact the data.
- When you uncheck a selection, it shows in red in the filters once you exit the editing portion of the filter.
- To save filter settings, click the vertical ellipsis icon and select Set as My Default Filters.
- To revert filters back to their defaults, click the refresh symbol.

-
It is best to filter on one Benchmark/assessment at a time since the score ranges differ for each.
Tip
If you use the Cumulative Performance report to view growth, you need to perform the calculations yourself. The IL&L Benchmark Growth report and the Imagine Galileo ELA Benchmark reports automatically calculate and display growth.
