Viewing the Placement(s) of Students – MyPath

Use this page to view the ILP grade placement of students.

Some items to note about student placement:

If a student retakes an assessment and receives the same or higher score, the placement date will update to display the latest date the assessment was taken. Should a student score lower, the original placement date will remain.
The Source field shows how the student was placed. The item options are:
- - MyPath- our in-house MyPath Assessment
  - NWEA- partnership through NWEA
  - Renaissance- partnership through Renaissance
  - Manual- the student was manually placed by an educator
  - System- For SEL, students are automatically placed in their grade level when SEL is enabled for their class

To learn more about how a student's placement works, review the student placement rules page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Placement Date mean if NWEA or Renaissance was used?

The Placement Date for NWEA and Renaissance student placements shows the date that the placement was generated for the student, based on assessment results.
Note that this date is updated accordingly if NWEA or Renaissance placements are updated during the school year and synced by an Administrator.

When reassigning a grade level, will all the associated RIT ranges display for selection? And are RIT ranges shown for each goal area, since the MAP assessment breaks down students into goal areas?

In our new program, we are taking a slightly different approach from the current 10-point arbitrary “RIT Range” approach that Pathblazer has today. There is not a strong instructional reason why each range should span 10 points, so in our new program, we align overall Goal/Instructional Area RIT scores to grade-level expectations in each instructional area and then place students accordingly. This makes it easy for teachers to see how the NWEA scores result in instructional-level placement in our curriculum.

In the future, will schools have the option to choose how placements are determined in the system?

This is not planned at this time.
