Interpretting easyCBM Results

When interpreting easyCBM results, it is important to refer to the percentile rank associated with a given raw score at the time of year the measure was administered.

These percentile ranks are based on national norms, which are re-calculated and updated every five years. Because of the way percentile ranks work, performance at or near the 50th percentile rank can be interpreted as average performance for students in that grade level at that time of the year. Scores above the 50th percentile rank indicate performance above average for students in that grade at that time of the year, and scores below the 50th percentile rank indicate performance below average for students in that grade at that time of the year.

The easyCBM system has a variety of reports designed to help teachers identify students at risk, pinpoint what content they may need additional support to master, and track improvements over time.
