Parent Portal - Reviewing Student Scores – SchoolCity

The Parent Portal is where parents can view their student’s scores on a variety of assessments, including Item Bank Assessments, Answer Key Only Assessments, Express Assessments, and Performance Based A+ Assessments. Once a Parent Portal Account request has been validated by a district designee, the parent is able to log into the Parent Portal. This lesson reviews how to review student scores.

Where to Start

All test security measures and/or data embargoes that apply to a student, also applies to the parent. If test security measures or embargoes are in place, test results may not be available for specific assessments.
