Examples of questions you can address with the Rising 9th Grade Roster from Quickr

Which of my incoming 9th grade students are currently struggling in core courses?

You can investigate this by filtering the roster to select all students who had a “D”, “F”, or “Incomplete” grade mid-year in any or all of their 4 core classes.

Using the filter button in the lower-right-hand corner of the header row (i.e., the top row of the spreadsheet), un-check “A”, “B”, and “C” in the drop down for one or more of the columns containing mid-year grades for language arts, math, social studies and/or science. The remaining list of students will only be those with below a C at mid-year in that course. If you choose more than one course at a time, the list of students you obtain will be those with below a C in all the courses you selected. Which of my incoming 9th grade students are currently enrolled in Math I in middle school?

To obtain a list of students currently enrolled in Math I in middle school, Filter “Column BV” (Using the filter button in the lower-right-hand corner of the header row for “column BV”): Un-check the “Select all”, and check the box next the all the course titles used for Math I (Local Option CC Math I, LOCAL OPTION COMMON CORE MATH I, MATH I, …). Click OK.

By scrolling left, you can look at those students’ performance on the CASE 21 quarterly assessments for Math I (“columns AT and AU”) . Which of my incoming 9th graders are struggling in Language Arts?

You can create a list of students who are struggling in Language arts in their current grade by using the Case 21 achievement levels for quarter 1 (Column AN) or quarter 2 (Column AO).

Click on the filter arrow for “column AN” and un-check 3-, 3+, 3, 4-, 4, 4+, blank. This gives you a list of students who scored below a 3 on their first quarter assessment. Repeat the same operation on “column AO”, to only keep the students who did not perform better at the end of the second quarter.

If you want to be able to look at Case 21 Reading assessment results and First Semester Reading grade side by side, follow these steps:

Select “columns AP” to column BR” by hovering over “AP”, clicking the left mouse button and moving to the right until “BR”, then click the right mouse button and choose “delete” in the drop down. Which of my entering 9th graders have a probability of 50 or more of scoring at or above the college benchmark on their ACT?

The EVAAS probabilities of scoring at or above college benchmark on the ACT are displayed in columns BI to BJ. For each of the column, click on the filter button (in the lower right corner), select “Number Filters”, a pop up box will appear. In this box, select “Greater Than Or Equal To”. A pop up box called “Custom Auto Filter” type 50, and click Ok. You can repeat these steps for each of the ACT College Benchmark EVAAS Probabilities, to obtain the list of students who have a probability of 50 or more to meet all ACT college benchmarks.
