The essential fields in the “Report Criteria” section are as follows:

  • Report Types—This option indicates an entity, either LEA (district) or school.
  • District—This option is only applicable for users who are associated with more than one LEA. For most users, the LEA with which the user is associated in TOMS will already be selected. This field, which is indicated by an asterisk, is required.
  • School (not shown).This option is only applicable for users, such as LEA-level users, who are associated with more than one school. For most users, the school with which the user is associated in TOMS will already be selected. Users associated with multiple schools will have additional values (that is, schools) from which to select. Users can filter results by typing part of or the complete school name or school ID in the Search field. This field, which is indicated by an asterisk, is required.
  • Test Instrument—Select the test type from the Test Instrument drop-down list, which displays available assessments, which can include the following:
    • CAA ELA & Math
    • CAA Science
    • CAST
    • CAST Interim
    • CSA
    • ELPAC Interim
    • Initial Alternate ELPAC
    • Initial ELPAC
    • Smarter IAB (for the interim assessment)
    • Smarter ICA (for the interim assessment)
    • Smarter Summative (ELA and mathematics; computer-based and PPT)
    • Summative Alternate ELPAC
