This Interpretive Guide is intended to help parents and educators understand how to read and find information contained in the family report. The cover letter is a document schools can print and send to parents along with the family report.

These sample score reports show a student’s best performance on the HSA-Alt Assessments in ELA and Mathematics and the HSA-Alt Assessment in Science. The sample reports also show what areas are assessed in each subject, what the student's proficiency level is in the different subject areas, and provide additional resources and answers to frequently asked questions about the HSA-Alt Assessments.

The student’s performance on the items is summarized in an overall test score referred to as the scale score. The scale scores are divided into four performance levels using three performance standards (i.e., cut scores). The scale score ranges as of July 2019 for each performance level are provided in this table.
