Online Score Reports for Educators: A Powerful Tool for Student Success

In today’s data-driven academic landscape, educators need clear, accessible insights into student performance. When students take assessments in the SAT Suite—such as the SAT, PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, or PSAT 8/9—their results are available through the College Board’s Online Score Reporting Portal for Educators.

What Are Online Score Reports?

Online score reports are digital dashboards that provide comprehensive results from the SAT Suite of Assessments. These reports are available via the College Board’s secure portal and are organized by assessment, grade level, and student demographics.

Educators can use the reports to:

  • View individual and group scores
  • Analyze trends across years or grade levels
  • Identify strengths and areas for improvement
  • Inform instruction and curriculum planning
  • Monitor college and career readiness progress

Accessing the Educator Score Reporting Portal

To access online score reports:

  1. Go to the K–12 Reporting Portal: Visit the College Board’s K–12 portal at k12reporting.collegeboard.org (do not include this link in your published page for AdSense).
  2. Log in with your College Board account: Only authorized school and district personnel with proper access credentials can view score data.
  3. Select your role and organization: Once logged in, choose your institution and view available score reports for your school or district.

You must be assigned one of the following roles to view reports:

  • Access Manager
  • Score Reporting Viewer
  • Institution Administrator

District leaders can also access aggregated data across multiple schools.

Key Features of Online Score Reports

1. Interactive Dashboards
Visualize student performance using charts and tables. Filter by grade, test type, score range, subgroup, and more.

2. Student Roster
Get a list of all students who took a specific assessment. Each entry includes:

  • Total score
  • Section scores (Reading and Writing, Math)
  • Benchmarks (college readiness indicators)
  • Growth over time (if prior test history exists)

3. Skill and Content Domain Analysis
View how students performed across specific content domains, such as:

  • Algebra and Advanced Math
  • Craft and Structure
  • Standard English Conventions

This helps educators see which areas need reinforcement or extension.

4. Benchmark Indicators
Benchmark scores help educators assess whether students are on track for college readiness. The reports show if students are meeting or exceeding grade-level expectations.

5. Comparison Tools
Compare performance across student groups (e.g., by gender, race/ethnicity, or program participation). This helps identify opportunity gaps and inform equity-focused strategies.

6. Downloadable Reports
Export data to spreadsheets or PDFs for team meetings, parent conferences, or district reporting.

How Educators Can Use Score Reports

1. Guide Instruction
Use domain-level data to tailor lesson plans, group students, or offer targeted interventions.

2. Support Counseling and Advising
Help students understand their readiness for advanced coursework, dual enrollment, or AP classes. Use the scores to start college planning conversations.

3. Monitor Progress Across Years
Track individual student growth over multiple years using the SAT Suite. Early PSAT scores can predict later SAT performance, making intervention more proactive.

4. Evaluate Programs and Curricula
Analyze data to determine the effectiveness of academic programs and adjust strategies to boost outcomes.

5. Identify Students for Opportunities
Use performance data to nominate students for scholarships, advanced learning opportunities, or academic honors.
