The New Jersey Assessment
The Individual Student Report (ISR)

SRA menu

   Every 11th grader is required to take the HSPA in language arts literacy and mathematics (see the current Statewide Assessment Schedule). The state later creates reports for the student (the ISR), for the school and district, and then for the whole state (see NJ's Education Information Resource).
   We have prepared an ISR for an imaginary student named Monisha. We use this report to show you how the full report looks, as well as the parts of the report and how they relate to one another. Then we looked to see how Monisha did on her HSPA, as well as what her next steps are.

THE FULL REPORT
1. Example of an Individual Student Report

        We have made up an ISR for a made-up student, Monisha Crenshere.
        NOTE: The top one-third of the report gives demographic data (the school, the district, her birthdate, and which school she attends).

PARTS OF THE REPORT
2.
Monisha's Proficiency Scores

        Did Monisha reach proficiency in both langage arts literacy and mathematics?

3. Monisha's Cluster Scores
       Does Monisha have cluster scores which are greater or lesser than the JPM (Just Proficient Mean)? Which are greater, and which are less?

MONISHA'S RESULTS
5. How did Monisha do with regard to the JPM?

6. Did Monisha qualify to take the SRA?
