There are two types of student data that can be exported from Renaissance:
-
Historical: Gives you access to test data for Star Early Literacy (English or Spanish), Star Math (English or Spanish), Star Reading (English or Spanish), Star CBM, Star Custom, and Accelerated Reader Independent Reading. Historical extracts are useful for planning for a new school year (based on where students ended the previous year), comparing predictions of students' performance on state tests with their actual test results, and identifying trends in performance and growth for students or teachers.
Historical extracts are comma-separated value (.csv) files that can be opened in a spreadsheet program. -
Growth Expectation: Gives you access to growth expectation data for the current school year for Star Early Literacy, Star Math, or Star Reading. Growth Expectation extracts are useful communication tools, providing information that can be used for evaluating educator effectiveness or during data retreats with staff, as well as aiding with school year planning (both at the end of the current school year and the start of the next one).
Growth expectation extracts are comma-separated value (.csv) files that can be opened in a spreadsheet program.
Exporting data for a large number of schools can take up to 48 hours to complete.
Creating a historical extract
Students must be enrolled in a class in the current school year to be included in a historical extract.
- On the Export Student Data page, Star Historical Extract should already be selected in the Export type drop-down list ; if it isn't, select it.
- Use the Assignment Type drop-down list to select the assignment type you want to create the extract for:
-
Assignments from assessment apps: When you select this assignment type, second-level (Application) and third-level (Assignments) drop-down lists will appear; use them to more narrowly focus on a particular type of data to include in the export:
