PeerPower

Reporting on Virginia SOL tests

Overview

PeerPower is a browser-based service designed to provide K-12 students their percentile scores in their school, district, and state. After inputting some simple data such as school division and the test the student took, PeerPower will automatically search through its data and compute percentiles. A PeerPower Percentile Report requires purchase.

Approach

Students, parents, teachers, and school administrators can use PeerPower to see how a student compares to his or her peers. After creating an account, users can input these required pieces of data: the state in which the student took the test, the school division, the school name, and the test taken. PeerPower will identify and create a Percentile Report which can be downloaded.

PeerPower requires states to submit information regarding their school systems and scores. As of October 23rd, 2015, Maryland and Virginia have provided PeerPower data in order to generate a Percentile Report. For example, students in Virginia can view their school, division, and state percentile for the Standards of Learning tests. If a specific state is not listed during the search, users are advised to contact PeerPower to add their state.

Implementation

PeerPower is browser-based and requires an internet connection to use.
