As noted above, the Grade filter will display all grades, regardless of your selections.
The School, Grade, Teacher, and Classroom filters allow you to select multiple items. For example, you can view data for just "Grade 7" and "Grade 8".
After selecting all your preferred filters, click the Apply filters button to narrow down the results displayed, accordingly.

What diagnostic data is included
The Admin Diagnostic Growth Report only displays data for diagnostics assigned by a teacher linked to a school for which you are an administrator. For example:
If no teachers assigned the Intermediate Diagnostic (Baseline Pre), then it will not appear in the table in the Performance & Growth Overview tab.
If only teachers with 7th grade classrooms assigned a diagnostic, then only Grade 7 will appear in the table in the Performance & Growth Overview and Overall Skill Growth tabs (when Grade is selected from the Group by: dropdown menu).
If a teacher has not assigned any diagnostics, then they will not be listed in the table in the Performance & Growth Overview and Overall Skill Growth tabs (when Teacher is selected from the Group by: dropdown menu).
A Post diagnostic will be excluded from the Admin Diagnostic Growth Report if it was not completed in the same timeframe (e.g. This school year) as the Pre diagnostic.
