Performance on the Common Placement Test Report for 2007 High School Graduates

The 2007 report on High School Graduates’ Performance on Common Placement Tests is available online

at http://www.fldoe.org/articulation/perfCPT/. Student-level performance data can be accessed via the

mainframe as a sequential file or in a formatted report. This mainframe access allows districts to query

and print specific information needed for local reporting purposes. The data for this report is maintained

by the Department of Education's K20 Education Data Warehouse, which collects data across years and

surveys.

The following instructions are to assist district MIS directors in accessing student-level performance data

via the mainframe. The database name for the sequential file is DPS##.EDW.PERFCPT.DATA.Y0607

(##=district number), and the following format is provided. The dataset name for the formatted report is

DPS##.EDW.PERFCPT.REPT.Y0607. If you have questions, please contact Education Information

Services at (850) 245-0400. In the event that a duplicate student record appears in a school report, please

note that this can occur when the data warehouse receives variations in student identifiers over time, such

as social security numbers or last name, first name, etc. (i.e., Bill vs. Billy). We ask that districts

determine which data is valid for any duplicate listings. These duplicates were not included in the reports

published on the web.

General questions about students’ Performance on Common Placement Tests or the High School

Feedback Report can be referred to Dr. Shruti Graf at shruti.graf@fldoe.org or (850) 245-7820.
