Mappings Overview

The information below summarizes where key data elements are loaded from across student score data files that are submitted. The column names referenced may not match the column name in the file exactly as this changes over time.

Key Field(s)	Mapping(s)
System Student ID	Scores are linked to students using the Student ID column in the file. We match to students in the student information system using the following (in order of preference): The Student ID Number matches the System Student ID* in your SIS. The Statewide Student Identifier matches the State Student ID in your SIS. The Student Last Name, Student First Name, and Date Of Birth columns exactly match the Last Name, First Name, and Date Of Birth in your SIS. * See your student information system page for information on this mapping.
System School ID	Scores are linked to schools using the first populated school code value in this order: Tested School Code Listening Tested School Code Speaking Tested School Code Reading Tested School Code Writing This is matched to a school in My Schools. Please contact support to resolve incorrect or failed matches.
School Year	Scores are linked to school years using the first populated test completed date value in this order: Test Completed Date Listening Test Completed Date Speaking Test Completed Date Reading Test Completed Date Writing Schoolzilla assumes that if the test date is during or after August the assessment is associated with the upcoming school year (e.g. 8/1/2019 test would be part of the 2019-2020 school year). Note: Summative Assessments taken in the Fall of 2020 are associated with the Spring 2020 summative assessment window due to covid.
Test Period	Scores are linked to test periods using the Assessment Type (IA, IE, and 22 = Initial; SA, SE, 21 = Summative)
