Choosing the correct report
The Class Profile report is designed to be a more intuitive and interactive update to the Class report, and can serve as a replacement for the Class report in most cases. However, there is still some data that can be found only in the Class report. The comparison of data and features table lists some key differences between the two reports.
Comparison of data and features: Class Profile report and Class report
| Class Profile Report | Class Report | |
|---|---|---|
| Interactive sortable data (not a static report) | ✔ | No |
| Ability to navigate directly to individual Student Profile reports | ✔ | No |
| Data from screening tests | No | ✔ |
| Data from invalid test events | No | ✔ |
| Data from test events that do not meet growth criteria | No | ✔ |
Reviewing Achievement Details
Achievement refers to a student’s performance in a given subject area. MAP Growth measures that performance using RIT scores, among other data points, which you’ll see in the Class Profile report. To put that achievement data into context, MAP Growth reports also compare students’ scores to national norms for other students in the same grade.
Achievement Percentiles:Performance compared to the national norms
Review the breakdown of your students across the different achievement percentiles to see how their performance compares to other students across the country.
Comparisons:Achievement by grade level
For classes with students in multiple grades, review the average RIT score and median percentile for students at each grade level.
Fewer than 10 students in a grade: If you have fewer than 10 students within a grade, the averages and medians in the Comparisons section may not provide useful data because the sample size is small. Instead, we recommend using the Student Details section to learn about your students' individual achievement measures.
Student Details: Individual student achievement details
The Student Details section includes all students rostered in the class you selected, regardless of whether they have test results. Student achievement results are grouped by which tests the students took.
Student Achievement
Achievement is reported using the following measures:
- Percentile (RIT compared to grade-level norms)
-
RIT score on the test overall
- Lexile (for reading only)
-
Quantile (for certain math tests only)
-
RIT scores for specific instructional areas
Note: Instructional area categories may be labeled differently depending on your test version or state assessment.
Interacting with Student Details data

Sort by columns: Click on column headers to sort in ascending or descending order.
-
Learn more about each student: Select a student’s name to open their individual Student Profile report in a new tab.
Students With No Test Results
Students who are rostered in the class you selected will appear on the Class Profile report, regardless of whether they have test results. Students without test results will be listed at the bottom of the report. If you’re unsure why certain students are lacking data, refer to the Class Profile Troubleshooting Guide.
Reviewing Test Details
For an overview of which tests your class took, as well as other test event data that can help you to interpret your class’s achievement results, select the Test Details tab.
| ➊ | Find your class's testing statuses in the Test Details section. |
| ➋ | Learn how many students in your class took each test in the What Tests Were Taken? section. |
| ➌ | Identify which specific students have each test status or have taken each test in the Student Details section. |
Test Details:Testing statuses for students
The Test Details section displays the testing status of all students using the following possible statuses:
| Status | Definition |
|---|---|
| Completed tests | These students have completed tests and have not exceeded the Rapid-Guessing Percentage threshold of 30%. |
| Completed but retest is recommended | These students have completed tests but have exceeded the Rapid-Guessing Percentage threshold of 30%. We recommend retesting these students so that you may collect more accurate data. Here are some resources about increasing engagement. |
| No score available or No test results | These students have either:
For more details about invalid tests, refer to Invalid Tests and Growth Criteria. |
What Tests Were Taken?
This section lists the MAPGrowth tests taken by your class.
Student Details: Individual student achievement details
The Student Details section of the Test Details tab includes all students rostered in the class you selected, regardless of whether they have test results. They are arranged alphabetically by default.
Achievement
Achievement data in the Test Details tab is the same data in the Achievement Details tab, except it does not include scores in specific instructional areas. The Achievement data includes:
-
Percentile (RIT compared to grade-level norms)
-
RIT score on the test overall
-
Lexile (for reading only)
-
Quantile (for math only)
Test Details
| Column Name | Definition |
|---|---|
| Standard Error of Measure (SEM) | Estimates the accuracy of your student’s test results. The closer it is to zero, the more precise your student’s test results may be. Typical SEM values for the MAP Growth range from 2.8 to 3.5, although the assessment is considered valid up to an SEM of 5.5. For more information refer to Standard error of measure: Definition and calculations. |
| Test Duration | Indicates the amount of time your student took to complete their test. Typical test duration varies depending on the test assigned. For more information, review test length/duration details on Test Descriptions Summaryor consult Average MAP Growth Test Durations. |
| Rapid-Guessing Percentage | An answer is flagged as a rapid guess if the student answers significantly faster than the determined average response time for the test question, to the point where it is impossible that they’ve read the question with enough time to consider their answer. NWEA has determined that any student who has guessed 30% of the time or more will be flagged as recommended for retesting because their test results will not accurately represent their achievement. Note for partners who view MAP Growth information from state assessments: Rapid guessing information is not available for assessment data derived from state assessments. |
| Test Taken | Indicates the MAP Growth test each student was assigned and has completed. Dashes will appear in this column if no test was taken or there's no score available. |
| Test Date | Indicates the date the test was taken. |
