District Managers have the ability to adjust the default benchmark cut-off scores for each assessment. Setting custom benchmarks will override the system defaults and use the custom benchmarks to determine risk levels instead. If a district decides to no longer use custom benchmarks, they can reset to the default. This is an all-or-nothing action and cannot be reversed. This article guides users through setting custom benchmarks and resetting them if needed.
Setting Custom Benchmarks
- Select the District Manager tab.
- Select Assessment Info.
- Select Custom Benchmarks.
- Use the dropdown menu to select an assessment
- Use the dropdown menu to select the assessment period.
- Enter into the textbox to update the benchmark value.
-
Low Risk: Any score above the value will be represented with a White Star which is the College Pathways Benchmark. (This is not available for all assessments)
-
Some Risk: Any score below Some but higher than High Risk will have one exclamation point.
-
High Risk: Any score below High Risk will have 2 exclamation points.
-
- When finished entering benchmarks:
- Select Cancel to cancel the action.
- Select Save to apply new benchmarks,
Current benchmarks for each risk level are displayed by default. Selecting a different assessment period loads the associated benchmarks. If there are no benchmarks for a screening period, it means we do not currently have benchmarks for that period or grade.
Reset Benchmarks
- Select the District Manager tab.
- Select Assessment Info.
- Select Custom Benchmarks.
- Select Reset All Benchmarks.
Resetting Custom Benchmarks applies to all benchmarks. This action is irreversible and cannot be undone.
