lead4ward (Texas Only) - Quintile and Subcluster Intervention Reports

  • Updated

The Quintile Report uses individual or aggregate assessment data and distributes students into five equal groups, or quintiles, with an average percent correct displayed for each quintile. Quintile Reports help identify which students are in need of intervention. The Subcluster Intervention Report organizes student performance by subclusters (specific concepts or topics) to guide teachers in providing targeted intervention. Within each subcluster, students are organized into two categories - "Got it!" and "Not Yet" - using a selected cut score. The Quintile and Subcluster Intervention reports utilize one process to filter to the desired subject, students, and assessments, which provides users with an in-app combined report. This lesson walks through how to create this combination report.

lead4ward reports are only available for Texas districts. Texas districts can request these reports be enabled through their Customer Support Manager or the SchoolCity Support team.

This allows users to view student performance level at a glance. These highlights can be mixed and matched to show none, some, or all performance band colors at once, with any combination of Growth highlights and/or Column Visibility.

The STAAR Performance Level checkboxes do not function as filters. The selections draw attention to the students who earned the selected performance levels in the selected year.
