Subgroup Comparisons
Allows users to select specific student groups for comparison
The 2015 PARCC assessment scores set a new baseline. A trend line of information will be available in the fall of 2016 after the next administration of the PARCC Assessment.
The display allows you to see the comparison of test results between various student groups. You may select from the filters listed on the right (Grade, Subject) to refine the display. After making any selection, click “Go!” to see the information, and select student groups to compare with the checkboxes. If a subgroup has fewer than 10 students, no comparison data will be shown. This is done to protect student privacy.
The drop-down Grade menu allows you to select a Summary (all grades at this school averaged together) or Each grade at this school. The drop-down Subject menu gives access to all subjects or to one at a time, and the Select Group check boxes allow you to add (by checking) or remove (by unchecking) student groups to the chart.
The "Excel" button downloads this information into an Excel file.
Clicking “View Details” displays the exact percentage values of achievement gaps. It also shows the number of students in each subgroup tested over several years. This information is displayed beneath each graph.
Students may be counted in more than one subgroup. For example, a white student receiving free lunches would be counted in both “white” and “low-income” categories. Comparing student groups is a useful tool for determining patterns and trends at academic, social, and economic levels. This information helps educators plan for instruction and interventions for struggling students, as well as programs and strategies to assist all learners.
If a subgroup has fewer than 10 students no comparison data will be shown. This is done to protect student privacy.
