Navigating the Common Assessment report for Admins

Admin reports of Common Assessments are divided into Summary, Deep Dive, and Items sections.



Performance bands, which are defined while creating the Common Assessment, appear across all three sections. These bands help you consistently interpret accuracy data, whether you’re viewing overall performance, standards-level insights, school or class comparisons, subgroup summaries, or item-level results. Here’s what each band suggests: 

• Did not meet expectations (Red): Below the expected threshold; may require reteaching

• Partially met expectations (Yellow): Emerging understanding; may need additional support

• Met expectations (Green): Solid understanding; meets expectations

• Exceeded expectations (Blue): Strong mastery; ready for enrichment

These bands provide a clear and uniform way to understand performance patterns throughout the report.
