📍 Where to Find This Report
OnPoint → Assessment → STAAR → STAAR Quintile Report
This report replicates the lead4ward Quintile analysis model within OnDataSuite, allowing districts to examine student performance distribution and growth across five performance bands.
👤 What this report shows
The STAAR Quintile Report groups students into five equal performance groups (quintiles) based on their STAAR percent correct score.
Students are ranked from lowest to highest performance and divided into five groups:
| Quintile | Description |
|---|---|
| Quintile 1 | Lowest performing 20% of students |
| Quintile 2 | Lower-middle performing students |
| Quintile 3 | Middle performing students |
| Quintile 4 | Upper-middle performing students |
| Quintile 5 | Highest performing 20% of students |
Within each quintile, the report shows:
- Student Name
- Percent Correct
- Annual Growth Measure
This layout helps educators analyze student growth patterns relative to achievement levels.
💡 Suggested Uses
Districts and campuses use the STAAR Quintile Report to:
- Identify growth patterns among high and low-performing students
- Determine whether high-performing students are still growing
- Analyze instructional impact across achievement levels
- Identify students who may need enrichment or intervention
- Support data discussions during PLCs or instructional planning
This report is especially helpful when evaluating growth distribution across the full achievement spectrum.
🧭 Data Sources
The STAAR Quintile Report is generated using:
- STAAR Assessment Results
- Percent Correct values
- Annual Growth Measure indicators
- Student demographic and enrollment records
The quintile grouping is calculated by ranking students by percent correct score and dividing them into five equal-sized groups.
Growth indicators are derived from the STAAR Growth Measure.

📑 Visuals and Data Views
The report displays results using a five-column quintile layout.
Each column represents a quintile group and includes:
- Average Percent Correct for the quintile
- Student-level data including:
- Student Name
- Percent Correct
- Growth Indicator
Growth Color Indicators
| Color | Growth Result |
|---|---|
| 🟧 Orange | N – No Credit |
| 🔵 Blue | P – Partial Credit |
| 🟩 Green | F – Full Credit |
| Blank | No Prior Year Growth |
These colors allow users to quickly see how many students in each performance band are showing growth.
📊 How to Interpret This Report
Look for Growth in High Quintiles
Students in Quintiles 4 and 5 should still demonstrate growth. Lack of growth in these groups may indicate a need for advanced instructional strategies.
Examine Lower Quintile Movement
Students in Quintiles 1 and 2 should ideally show partial or full growth, indicating progress toward grade-level expectations.
Compare Average Percent Correct
Each quintile displays an average percent correct, which illustrates the distribution of performance across the grade level.
Evaluate Instructional Effectiveness
If most growth occurs only in certain quintiles, it may indicate instructional strengths or gaps affecting different performance groups
