The Assessment Validations for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science opened on Thursday, June 21 at 1 PM in the Achievement Data Insight (ADI) application and will remain open for validation through Friday, August 24 at 5 PM. A “How to Review” document is linked in the Instructions at the bottom of each validation.

The new columns for ESSA 100% Performance Denominator, ESSA 95% Performance Denominator, ESSA Applied Denominator, and ESSA Percent Met are currently hidden in the RC Summary tab and download files, but they will be available starting next Thursday, June 28.


OAKS Online Science and Social Sciences partial test records (any test where the student completed one or more questions, but never finished the test) will be available on Friday, June 22 in the Student Centered Staging, Accountability Warehouse Extract (AWE) and Secure Assessment Reports (SAR) applications. (If you do not have access to these applications, please contact your district security administrator.)

Social Sciences records where the student completed 1-4 questions have a Test Attempted flag of ‘P’ and no scores or performance levels. Records where the student completed 5 or more questions have a Test Attempted flag of ‘Y,’ a Rescore flag of ‘Y’ and an adjusted total score (no strand scores) and performance levels. Science records where the student completed fewer than 5 questions have a Test Attempted flag of ‘Y,’ since the first part of the test included NGSS field test items.

Be sure to resolve errors in Student Centered Staging before downloading or reviewing records online so that the data is as accurate as possible. Please contact your Regional ESD Partner for more information or for assistance accessing these records.

More information about Annual Cumulative ADM and the web training from May 10 is on the Video Training - 2017-2018 webpage. If you have any questions, please contact your Regional ESD Partner or Amanda Hiaasen.


The Class Roster Collection opened on May 10 and will remain open through the end of the day on Monday, July 2.

The purpose of the Class Roster Collection is to link teachers and students with instructional courses, and it is the source for the Class Size Report. A web training was held on May 3, and a recording of this training is posted on ODE’s Video Training site. For more information, please see the Class Roster Resources page or contact your Regional ESD Partner or Beth Blumenstein at 503-947-5767.


The Freshman On-Track Collection opened on May 10 and will remain open through the end of the day on Monday, July 2. Students are considered to be on-track for the purposes of this collection if they have, by the end of their first year of high school, accrued at least 6 credits towards graduation, or 25% of their district’s total credit requirements for a regular (Oregon) high school diploma, whichever is higher. Districts should submit the majority of their on-track students during the spring collection window. There will be a review window in August, which is meant to allow districts to submit students who obtained the needed credits during summer school. There will also be a validation, opening July 12, in the Achievement Data Insight (ADI) for these data.

A web training was held for the Freshman On-Track Collection on May 8, and a recording of the training is posted on the Video Training - 2017-2018 webpage.
