A new Spring 2024 Reporting Infographic has been posted on our website. This new infographic includes all of the Achievement reporting dates in one location for easy access! Specific reporting dates for each assessment are also included in the District Test Coordinator Important Tasks Checklists (for AASA and AzSCI), the ACT Aspire Schedule of Events, and the ACT Reporting Schedule.

Electronic reports, including Student Data Files, Individual Student Reports, and PDF reports for AASA, AzSCI, and ACT Aspire will be available in the respective PearsonAccess Next sites. Electronic reports for ACT will be available in ACT's online reporting system at success.act.org. 

Two paper copies of each Individual Student Report will be sent to districts and charters. One copy is to be distributed to parents/guardians, and the other copy is to be placed in the student's secure file. Paper copies of ACT Individual Student Reports are sent directly to schools rather than to the district office.

Achievement testing score reports are not embargoed. However, it is important to remember that individual student scores can only be shared with those who have an educational need to view them and with parents/guardians.  

Please note the following as scores are published over the coming weeks.

The Student Data File Layout for each Achievement assessment is posted on the Achievement District Test Coordinator page of our website, under the "Reporting" dropdown for each assessment.

The AASA Reporting Guide and the AzSCI Reporting Guide have recently been updated and are published on the Achievement District Test Coordinator webpage. 

Resources for interpreting ACT and ACT Aspire reports are located on the ACT-hosted website, under Step 7: Interpretation. 

It is the responsibility of districts and schools to verify that all students who tested receive scores back. This is especially important for paper-based testing schools to ensure all paper test materials were received by Pearson for scoring. Districts and schools should verify scores using the electronic reports that will be published in PearsonAccess Next (PAN) and should not wait until paper copies are received to complete this task. If a student is not included in the electronic reports in PAN, then they will also not receive paper copies of reports. Any discrepancies must be reported to ADE as soon as possible and no later than June 28, 2024.

The AASA Parent Portal is an optional resource schools and districts/charters may use to allow families to securely access and view their student's AASA score reports online. The Parent Portal is available for AASA only. Hard copies of Individual Student Reports will still be sent to districts/charters and should be provided to parents. 

In order for families to access their student's score reports in the AASA Parent Portal, a claim code will be required. The claim code can only be obtained from the student's school; however, schools are not required to distribute Parent Portal claim codes. 

A claim code file (in CSV format) is available in PearsonAccess Next, under Reports > Operational Reports > Students & Registrations > Claim Codes, to users with the following user roles: AASA District Test Coordinator, AASA District Report Only, AASA School Test Coordinator, and AASA School Report Only.

A Parent Portal User Guide is published on the AASA website in English and Spanish and can be used to distribute claim codes to parents/guardians.

Per § 15-741.F, districts may request a district data file for AASA. The Spring 2024 district data file will include student and item information and other relevant data points not contained in the standard data file, including item type, theta scores by reporting category, scale score by reporting category, and number of items by reporting category. For a district or charter to receive an AASA district data file, a request must be submitted to ADE by  June 7, 2024 by completing the following request form:

The Move on When Reading (MOWR) indicator will be included on the AASA Grade 3 score reports. In order to determine whether third grade students met the MOWR requirements for promotion to the fourth grade, please complete the following after scores are published:

The AASA Grade 3 ELA-Reading Summer Administration, available June 17 - July 19, only applies to Grade 3 students who fail to meet the cut score for MOWR on the Spring 2024 AASA ELA administration and who do not qualify for one of the good cause exemptions. Please see the AASA Grade 3 ELA-Reading Summer Administration infographic for additional details.

The Achievement Assessments team will be hosting a webinar on May 8, 1:00-2:00pm to provide additional information and answer District Test Coordinator questions regarding the AASA Grade 3 ELA-Reading Summer Administration. Use the registration link below to register for the live event. The webinar will be recorded and posted on the Achievement District Test Coordinator page of our website after the live event. An FAQ will also be created to answer questions received during the webinar.

Any AASA, AzSCI, ACT Aspire, or ACT test records with an unmatched student name, date of birth, or SSID will begin to appear in the ADEConnect Corrections Application beginning in late May. Unmatched records must be reviewed and matched by the Achievement District Test Coordinator.

Access the Corrections Application by: logging into ADEConnect > Assessments > Corrections > Student Demographic Corrections or by: logging into ADEConnect > File Metrics > Student Demographic Corrections.

Automated weekly emails will be sent to Achievement District Test Coordinators to inform of any outstanding records in the Corrections Application. Please review and correct any test records in the Corrections Application as quickly as possible. The deadline to complete corrections is June 28, 2024.
