This report can be generated by first selecting the Test Completion Rates option from either the Completion Status home page or the Completion Status Reports drop-down list (indicated in figure 1).

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: 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 (i.e., 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 tests, which can include the following:
    • CAA (for ELA and mathematics)
    • CAA Science
    • CAST
    • CAST Interim
    • CSA
    • ELPAC Interim
    • Initial Alternate ELPAC
    • Initial ELPAC
    • Smarter ELA (for the summative assessment)
    • Smarter IAB (for the interim assessment)
    • Smarter ICA (for the interim assessment)
    • Smarter Math (for the summative assessment)
    • Summative Alternate ELPAC
    • Summative ELPAC
  • Administration: This option allows for the selection of the current test administration year, which is the only option.
  • Test Name: This option enables the selection of one or all of the test names from which to generate a report.

Step 2. Generate the Report

Refer to the Column Definitions subsection in the Test Completion Rates Reports section for a description of the columns in the Excel or CSV reports.
