I'm often asked, "What reports do you think are most useful?" Of course, the answer depends on the question you are trying to answer with data!
However, one report that is extremely useful and efficient is the R-616 Test Item Analysis Roster report. This report provides a roster of students with information about performance level, scaled score, and the student's individual test item performance (including strand and question type) for a particular test. For 2010, this report also includes the SGP (student growth percentile) for each student.
Hyperlinks within the report allow you to click through to the test item iself as well as additional student detail. If you save the report as PDF, those links will remain in place (although a person would need to have data warehouse access to click through to the student detail reports.)
Note that while other 600-level (student) reports often result in a single page (or more) per student, this report is unique in that it provides efficient access to student data in a roster format.
Also note that even though the data warehouse doesn't provide reports at the classroom level, the roster of students for R-616 can be customized to reflect a single classroom of students. Simply use your mouse to select the students you'd like to include in the report (you'll see this in the second step of running the report) to customize the report for a classroom, intervention group, or other subgroup.
