How to Use the APR Report Designer for Performance Information

To use the APR Report Designer for Performance information:

  1. Click the test year of your choice, for example, Performance on State Assessments (2003-2004).
  2. Choose a Subject (e.g., Math) and a Grade (e.g., Any K-12) from the pop down menus.
  3. Under Map Divisions either use the Default (states will display in 5 colors reporting 5 equal division of report values) or Custom build your divisions and select your own incremental analysis, such as Display values in increments of 10% starting at 0%.
  4. Select Proficient/Not Proficient or a specific achievement level for each performance metric you would like to view. For example, check every Proficient box to view a report for all proficient levels, or click on each Proficient box in the Alternate Assessment categories for a report on Alternate Assessment proficiency.
  5. Click the button, Run Report.
  6. Click the PDF button to receive a PDF version of the report.
  7. To run a new report, click the Back button.
  8. To clear all filters, click Reset button. (It is recommended to Reset before starting a new report.)
