Open HMH Growth Reports (2024)

HMH Growth Measure Reports show class and student results from growth measure assessments. All Growth Measure Reports provide comparisons, such as the change in a student's score from one testto another and the difference between the student scores and the end-of-year state testing performance levels for each score group. The growth measure assessment scores appear as Scaled Scores.

To open a Growth Report:

Or

–In the banner, click the Reports tab, and then in the left panel of the page, click Growth Report. The Growth Report page appears. By default, the report shows the class report (All Students) for the most recent test in the selected subject.

Note: The report page is blank until at least one student in the selected class has completed the growth measure assessment.

Note: The Class Key Performance Indicator (KPI) widget in the left panel of the page provides a quick view of the class average scaled score and the class average grade level equivalency (GLE) for the report; this widget remains in place as you scroll down the report page.

2.Above the report graphs, use the lists provided to select the report that you want to view, as follows:

○Within the dialog box, click Create Group to create a group of the students listed in this domain performance level.
