Student Demographics

The “Student Demographics” section of the [MyTOMS at a Glance] tab (figure 9) displays a color-coded pie chart showing the percentage of students associated with the selected student demographics groups by assessment. Table 5 describes each student group.

Use the first drop-down list in the “Student Demographics” title bar, on the left, to change the selected assessment for display. The default assessments are “SBAC ELA/Math” for CAASPP and “Initial ELPAC“ for ELPAC. Use the second drop-down list, on the right, to change the selected demographic student group for display. The default demographic group is “Ethnicity.”

Each percentage is calculated by dividing the count of students included in the demographic group by the total count of all enrolled students in the LEA or all registered students for the selected assessment, and then multiplying that number by 100. Each percentage is rounded to three decimal places, and then truncated to display two decimal places.

If no students for a demographic group are associated with the user’s LEA, the demographic group will not be available on the drop-down list.

For CAASPP, select the [Download Report] down-arrow [Report download icon.] icon to request the LEA-Level Student Demographics Report, as shown in figure 8.
