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
Follow these steps to print the report:
- If you are not already on the Reports page, select Reports on the Home page; then, select Accelerated Reader / Reading Practice in the menu that opens.
When you go to the Reports page, the Accelerated Reader / Reading Practice tab will be selected. - Select School Wide Summary Report in the Monitor Progress section of the page. (If you have added the report to the Pinned Reports, you will find it under that section at the top of the page.)
- In the Subject drop-down list, Accelerated Reader will be selected. In the Assignment Type drop-down list, select Reading Practice Quiz.
- Select the School drop-down list (if available) and choose your school.
- The Students drop-down list defaults to all of your classes in the selected school. If you want to select a single class instead, select it from the drop-down list.
If you want to include multiple classes, but not all, select the Classes link under the drop-down list. Then, in the Select Classes window, tick the classes that you want to include. To find specific classes quickly, search for them using the field at the top of the window. To clear any boxes you have ticked so far, select the Clear All link at the bottom of the window. When you have finished selecting classes for the report, select Save Selection. The Students drop-down list will show you how many classes you chose.
If you want to select specific groups instead, select the Groups link under the Students drop-down list; then, check the groups to include. You can search for groups or clear selections as you can when you select classes. When you're done, select Save Selection. - If you want to use demographic data to focus the report on specific students, select Choose Demographics.
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.
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.
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).
- Next, choose how to group information on the report: by year, or by class or group.
- By default, the report will include the current school year. If you want to choose all time, a marking period, or custom dates instead, select the date field.
If you want to use one of the marking periods that have been added to your school, select the marking period in the list. (You can also select "All Time".)
If you want to use custom dates, select Custom. Then, type the start and end dates in the fields (using four digits for the year), or select the start date and then the end date in the calendar (use the arrows to the left and right of the months to go back or forward). When you have finished, select Apply. - Next, choose whether to report on the students whose average percentage correct is below 90%, 85%, 80%, or 75%.
- For Accelerated Reader quizzes/assignments, select the Reading Level Scale drop-down list to choose whether to show ATOS book levels or Lexile® Measures on the report.
- If you only want to include classes or groups that have data, tick Hide Groups Without Data.
- Select Update Report under the report options.
- The report will open below the report options, showing a table for each year or for each class or group.
