Healthy Indicators Overview

Percent Screened (formerly HI #1)

This report shows the percentage of students assessed on the selected default assessment for the building and grade during the screening window.

A healthy system has a robust screening program that includes all students possible. Screening essentially all students (95%) ensures the data are representative of the whole system and ensures we catch all students who need support while gaps are smaller and relatively easier to address.

Percent At or Above Benchmark (formerly HI #3)

This report shows the percentage of students who are at/above benchmark on the school’s selected default assessment.

A healthy school has universal instruction that enables the majority of students to meet benchmarks for “low risk,” without a lot of additional support and resources.

Percent Improving with Intervention (formerly HI #2)

This indicator displays the percentage and number of student interventions where the progress monitoring trend data indicates that students are growing at a rate that will close or narrow the gap based on the established intervention goal. 

A healthy school monitors student progress regularly in order to quickly adjust if an intervention is not working as well as needed to close the gap. In a healthy school, teachers value having frequent data and use it often to improve outcomes for their students.

Weekly Progress Monitoring

This report shows the percent of students who scored below benchmark on the selected default assessment during the most recent screening window and are monitored weekly within a 12 week period. This display helps identify patterns of weekly monitoring activities that may be helpful for identifying areas for improvement.

A healthy school values the availability of frequent progress monitoring data for students receiving interventions, not for compliance, but because infrequent data makes it difficult to evaluate whether interventions are working as intended and when to intensify or change instruction

Percent Receiving Intervention (formerly HI #5)

This report shows the percentage of students who had a risk status of "persistently at risk" at the conclusion of the starting window for the time span displayed and have an intervention in place in Student Success.

A healthy school provides robust, evidenced based interventions to improve outcomes for students who need them. The interventions are documented both to keep a record for the student, and also to allow for systematic evaluation of the effectiveness of interventions.

Percent Maintained (formerly HI #4)

This report shows the percentage of students at/above benchmark who remain at/above benchmark across screening windows on the selected default assessment.

A healthy school is able to sustain learning for students who are not at risk, with few students falling into the risk category over time. The combination of universal instruction and interventions maintains success for students

Percent with Growth (formerly HI #6)

This report shows the percent of students moving from below benchmark in one screening window to at/above benchmark in a subsequent screening window on the selected default assessment. 

A healthy school is able to provide students at risk with strong universal instruction as well as evidence based, effective interventions and improve their performance, moving them out of risk status.
