All measures are based on the latest educational research and are rigorously tested to ensure that they produce reliable and valid results.

Use Meaningful Comparisons

Put your results in context by viewing them against two different types of benchmarks:

Trend Lines:
One of the most important things that schools can focus on is the change in their results over time. Assess the impact of policy or practice changes through multi-year trend line comparisons.

National and Provincial / State Norms:
Our reports display your results alongside national or provincial/state norms to help you interpret how your district, school or individual grades compare.
