Rules for Test Definitions

PowerSchool provides test definitions, as well as the upload definition to load test data.  Do not modify the setups which are provided. If you need to upload data differently, create a copy of the test score setup and upload definition. Contact Customer Support if you need assistance copying setups.

If your district had test data defined prior to the defined standard tests, you may continue to report testing information based on previous test definitions. To report data using the non-standard tests, you must define the state code equivalent for each test field to report to EMIS. This section details how you must set up your tests to report Test Score information.

Ohio AIR OCBA/AASCD

Use these codes to report AIR Assessment test scores, which are subdivided into 2 AIR Assessment Types:

• OCBA - Regular assessments (GE and GN records)
• AASCD - Alternate assessments (GA and GX records)

By default, the State Code Equivs refer to the Regular Assessments (AIR Assessment Type = OCBA) to report GE and GN records. ODE requires Alternate Assessments to be reported as GA and GX records. If the AIR Assessment Type = AASCD, eSchoolPlus will map the records as follows:

• Grades 3-8 GN = GA
• High School GN = GX
• GE = GX

Refer to the table below for individual subtest codes and the correct mapping:
