Accessing and Navigating the Progress Report

Q: Why can’t I see the Progress Report tile on the Reports page?

A: The Progress Report tile will be visible on the Reports page on the first day of the new school year. If the previous school year has ended and the new school year hasn't started, the Progress report won't be visible. Check your school start and stop dates on the Reports page. If they are not correct, please reach out to our Customer Support Team.

Q: Why can't I update filters inside the report to see a custom group I created?

A: To see custom groups in the Progress Report, select Groups from the Reports page before you open the report. If you don't do this before opening the Progress Report, you will not be able to see or move between your custom groups.

Initial Standing, Placement, and Progress Report Metrics

Q: What does it mean if I see "student has not been placed" instead of a number on the Progress Report?

A: If you do not see a number in the Initial Standing column of the Progress report, it means the student hasn't completed the placement tasks required to determine their initial standing, or starting point, in DreamBox Math. The placement tasks depend on the district's subscription type.

Q: Is a student ‘placed’ in the Progress report if they log in over the summer?

A: The Progress report will only capture data during your school/district's calendar year dates. If a student signs in and plays DreamBox Math over the summer, when they sign in during the first day of the new school year and either complete a lesson with proficiency or complete Launchpad and then complete a lesson with demonstrated understanding they will be placed on the Progress report.

Q: Why do I see different average lessons on the Progress and Usage report?

A: This is likely due to the selected timeframe on the Usage report. The Progress report reflects Year To Date data overall, vs the data in a selected date range (which is possible on the Usage report).

Q: What happens to student progress data if Launchpad is activated in the middle of the school year?

A: When Launchpad is enabled, the data source for each student's initial standing is changed and their progress metrics need to be recalculated. The Progress Report will not show any progress from the start of the district school date through when the district enables Launchpad. Students' initial standing level will be calculated after they complete Launchpad and one lesson with demonstrated understanding. Student progress will begin calculating from this point. Proficiency data on additional DreamBox Math reports is preserved.

Q: Will lessons completed on the same day my student completes Launchpad count toward their progress?

A: At this time progress is measured daily. If a student completes Launchpad on Monday and then completes 10 additional lessons in that same day, those 10 lessons are not counted toward that student’s progress.

Q: Should grade-level standing percentages always equal 100%?

A: The percentages shown in the report are rounded to a whole number when standing percentages are calculated. The actual calculation will always add to 100%, but the total rounded percentages may not.
