The School Wide Summary Report provides a school wide summary of students' performance on Accelerated Reader quizzes over a specified period of time.

You can group the report by year or by classes and groups. For each year or class/group, the report shows you:

  • the number of students
  • the percentage of students whose average percentage correct is below the value you chose (75%, 80%, 85%, or 90%)
  • the overall average percentage correct for the year or the class/group
  • the average book level (difficulty level) or the average year (where this applies)
  • the total points earned and the median of points earned (for Reading Practice Quizzes and Article Quizzes)
  • the average points earned and the median

    the Choose Demographics button

    How to choose demographics

    By default, the "All" option is chosen for ethnicity, gender, language (the students' primary language, if specified), and year. To focus the report on specific groups, choose the "Select" option at the top of the appropriate column and then tick your selections in that column. Note that ethnicity, gender, primary language, and year may be specified for students when you add them to the software, but only years are required; other information may not be available for your students.

    the demographics window with two years ticked
    In the example above, the user has selected two Years, while leaving Language, Ethnicity, and Gender at the default "All" options. Note: The Filter Reports by Ethnicity user permission may be set to prevent the use of ethnicities as a filter.

    By default, the "All" option is chosen for Characteristics. To focus the report on students with specific characteristics, choose Select Characteristics; then, tick the characteristics that you are interested in. You must also choose any or all above the tick boxes to specify whether students with any of the selected characteristics will be included in the report or only those with all of the selected characteristics.

    the demographics window with two characteristics selected
    In the example above, the user selected two Characteristics (Low Prior Attainment and Middle Prior Attainment). Because any is selected, the report will include students who have either or both characteristics assigned. If all had been selected, only students who have both characteristics assigned would be included. Note: The Filter Reports by Characteristics user permission may be set to prevent the use of characteristics as a filter.

    Once you have finished choosing demographic options, select Apply at the bottom of the window to save your choices (or Cancel to close the window without saving your choices).

  8. Next, choose how to group information on the report: by year, or by class or group.
