Reports show students performance in benchmark categories which are very general. Only covers the grade level of the student so it does not provide any out-of-grade testing. If schools want to use this to guide differentiated instruction, it would not be sufficient. Nor would it be sufficient to really help a classroom teacher. Teachers would/should already know their students' general strengths or weaknesses so the reports' summative information wouldn't be that helpful. Would be useful as a school wide accountability measure for large districts to monitor how schools are doing and whether they are on target to hit benchmarks.
