Michigan Pre-Built Reports Guide MEAP PERCENT PROFICIENT REPORT What: Proficient versus not proficient students report or performance level break down report
Why: Captures students (by percentage or counts) that are proficient or not proficient by ethnicity, Special Ed, socio economic or grade. This report can also be changed to report by performance level
When building the report, you have the option to include state mandated AYP targets. You can include targets for future years to gauge how close your students are to meeting a future target.
MEAP REPORT What: Student performance level and scaled score review on the MEAP test
Why: Review student data relative to the cut scores on the MEAP test
The Display Cut Scores option when building the report is only available when all students on the report have taken the same test. For example, if the report is limited to the 2007-08 6th graders, then the option is likely available. If students in the report represent scores from more than one test, cut scores cannot be displayed.

PIVOT TABLE REPORT What: Compares matched proficiency level results from the MEAP tests, exams in a test series, and grades by direct comparison (linear view) or by degrees of change (differential view)
Why: Identifies specific students who demonstrated performance level growth or decline, or remained the same
After the report is built, click the Differential button to view the degree of change, then click the total student numbers at the bottom right side of the report; these are the students whose performance levels rose, and potentially need intervention.
MULTI YEAR MEAP PERFORMANCE SUMMARY REPORT What: Longitudinal comparison of MEAP performance level data from two consecutive years
Why: Identifies the percentage of students that scored within a given performance band from one year to the next You can build this report to view your current or previous student’s performance in consecutive years, or run a year-toyear test comparison.
MEAP/MME PERCENT PROFICIENT TREND ANALYSIS What: Multi-tiered analysis of students proficient on the MEAP or MME
Why: Compare growth trends in number of students proficient or at the varying proficiency levels for multiple years. Use the targets to compare number of different student groups proficient with the proficiency targets for each year
Select Cohort Report to see only students who took any of the selected assessments. Select Limited Cohort Report for students who took all selected assessments. The Year to Year Comparison compares students and their test results from one academic year to another. Michigan Pre-built Reports Guide
