The Standards Report helps administrators monitor student growth against state or district standards across their school(s). Using a dynamic Momentum Score and Smart Groups, it provides a high-level view of performance while allowing you to drill down into results by standard, grade, teacher, or individual student.

An active School or District Premium subscription is required to access the Admin Standards Report.

To open the report from the Premium Hub, navigate to:

Premium Reports → Standards Report

From there, you can analyze standards performance across the schools associated with your administrator account.

Before analyzing your data, ensure the report is aligned to the appropriate set of state standards (e.g., TEKS).

The report is built around two main sections. Within each section, you can organize results in multiple ways to better understand performance across your school(s).

2. Performance Breakdown: This detailed view provides a sortable data table with specific metrics for a granular look at performance.

After selecting a report section, choose how you'd like to organize the data.

Detailed filters at the top of the report allow you to customize the data displayed. The available filters update automatically depending on which view you are using:

The Momentum Score is a teacher-facing metric that reflects not only what students know, but how their skills are growing.

Skill Exposure measures how much practice a student has completed for a given standard. This helps you interpret how reliable a Momentum Score is.

Performance trends show whether a student’s mastery of a skill is improving, declining, or staying steady over time.

Replay rate indicates how often a student revisits and retries exercises.

The Admin Standards Report is designed to help administrators understand student performance at both the standards level and the school- or district-level. This section explains how standards are connected to Quill skills, how grouped results are calculated, and how student work is attributed over time.

The report lists standards by their official ID (for example, 7.10.D.ii) and description. To make these standards actionable, Quill connects them directly to the writing skills students practice every day.

Each standard is mapped to one or more skill sub-categories that cover those requirements. These are the same skills found in the Skills Report, creating a unified view that helps you move seamlessly from abstract requirements to concrete instructional steps.

The report lets you view results grouped in different ways—by Standard, Grade, Teacher, or Student.

When you group by Student, you see each student's individual results. As a note, the Student view is only available after selecting a specific teacher. Once a teacher has been selected, you'll be able to view individual student results for that teacher's classes.

When you group by Standard, Grade, or Teacher, students are combined, and the metrics displayed—such as Average Momentum Score and Average Questions Answered—represent averages across those student groupings.

The calculation works the same way regardless of how the data is grouped:

Only students who practiced during your selected timeframe are included, and only the questions answered during that timeframe contribute to the calculations.

Suppose the Grade 5 view shows that three students practiced during your selected timeframe.

Each student answered ten questions aligned to Grade 5 standards and received Momentum Scores of 90, 65, and 85, respectively.

The report averages those scores:

(90 + 65 + 85) ÷ 3 = 80

The Standard and Teacher groupings work the same way—the only difference is which questions are included for each student.

Every question a student answers remains connected to the class where the activity was completed.

This means student work is associated with the class's grade level and teacher at the time the work occurred—not the student's current grade or current teacher.

For example, if a student completes activities while enrolled in a fourth-grade class, those responses remain associated with Grade 4 and that teacher. If the student moves into a fifth-grade class the following year, their previous work will continue appearing when viewing Grade 4, while their new work will appear under Grade 5.

This historical approach ensures the report accurately reflects where learning occurred over time and allows administrators to analyze trends across school years without historical data changing as students advance through grades.

Smart Groups organize data based on your Momentum Score Goal (the default goal is 80).

These groups provide a quick way to identify standards, grades, teachers, or students that may benefit from additional attention.

The Smart Groups are powered by a customizable Momentum Score Goal.

By default, the goal is set to 80, creating four Smart Groups:

To change the goal that powers your Smart Groups, click the "Change goal" button.

A modal will appear where you can set a new goal between 50 and 100. When you save, your Smart Groups will automatically update.

After saving, your Smart Groups will automatically update.
