Student Data File Template Fields

Student Field Guidelines

●     Student location information fields, such as District/Area, School/Building, and Class, provide the data that match a student to a location in the location data file. When you enter student location information, ensure that each location you provide is an exact match to the locations in the location data files or locations that have already been imported into DataManager.

●     The student grade value must match a class-level location with the same grade value in the location data file. This ensures that your students are properly imported into a class with a matching grade level and helps prevent scoring problems.

●     Gender is the only required field that you can use to filter score reports. If additional data disaggregation is needed, you should include student program participation and ethnicity/race data for each student. For even more coding flexibility, you can use the Test Administrator Use Only (Test Admin) fields to create any number of unique coding attributes that will be available as filters for score reports.
