Our Growth Reports are designed to help educators monitor student progress over time by tracking the number of unique skills completed. These reports are available for My Math Academy (MMA), My Reading Academy (MRA), and My Reading Academy Español (MRA-E) and are one of the primary tools for understanding what students are learning—not just what they’re doing.
You can run a Growth Report at the district, school, class, or individual student level. All versions of the report are designed to help answer this core question:
How much have students learned during a given time period?
- How to Access Growth Reports
- What Is a “Skill”?
- Key Elements of the Growth Report
- What Growth Reports Don’t Show
- Common Teacher Questions
- Summary

Here's what the Reports Center looks like:
What Is a “Skill”?
In both MMA and MRA, a skill is a standards-aligned learning objective. It is only marked “completed” when the student has demonstrated mastery, not just participation.
Examples
MMA: “Count backwards from 10 to 1”
MRA: “Identify the first sound in a spoken word”
✅ Students engage with activities (games, books, videos).
✅ They complete skills when the system determines they’ve mastered the objective.
❌ Completing an activity does not automatically complete a skill.
Key Elements of the Growth Report
Unique Skills Completed
This is the core metric shown in the Growth Report: the number of distinct skills a student has completed during the selected reporting period.
Each skill is counted once per student
In class-level reports, this is shown as an aggregated class total
In student-level reports, it's broken out by domain and strand
Skill Completion Growth Bars
Each domain or strand includes a green horizontal bar representing growth over the selected time period:
The start of the bar reflects the number of skills completed at the beginning of the period
The end of the bar reflects the current total
The +X label shows how many new skills were completed
Use these bars to quickly compare growth across domains and identify where students (or the class) are making the most progress.
Student-Level Reports Include More Detail
In individual reports, you’ll also see:
Number of skills completed vs. remaining per strand
% growth during the reporting period
Clearer breakdown of where progress is (and isn’t) happening
What Growth Reports Don’t Show
To avoid confusion, here are a few things that are not included in the Growth Report (and where to go if you're looking for them):
| Not Included | Instead, try this |
|---|---|
| List of specific skills completed | Not currently available in any report |
| Sequence or type of activities played | Learner Activity Report shows activity counts, but not names or types |
| Student-level data in class reports | Run student-level Growth Reports to view individual progress |
| Instructional recommendations | Check the Mastery AI Assistant in the Progress Dashboard > This Week view |
Common Teacher Questions
“Do skills completed = activities completed?”
No. Students may complete multiple activities before demonstrating mastery of a skill. Or they may engage with activities and still not complete a skill if they’re struggling.
“Can I see which specific skills a student completed?”
Not at this time. Growth Reports show how many skills have been completed in each domain or strand, but they don’t list skill names or IDs.
“Can I see which activities students played?”
No. However, you can run a Learner Activity Report to see:
Total activities completed
Time on task
Logins and session counts
This can help you understand how much students are working, even if it doesn’t show exactly what they’re working on.
“What does 'Number of Students' mean in Growth by Domain or Growth by Standards?”
In both the Growth by Domain and Growth by Standards sections of the report, the “Number of Students” indicates how many students have engaged with content related to that domain or standard during the reporting period. Specifically, it refers to the number of students for whom there is data available—whether they are in progress, have completed a skill, or are struggling with it.
It is not the total number of students in the class.
It is not limited to students who completed the standard.
It is not grouped by status like “Needs Support” or “On Track.”
Instead, this number tells you how many students have reached a point in their adaptive learning path where the system was able to collect and report data tied to that specific domain or standard.
“Can I tell which students need support from the class-level report?”
Not directly. Class-level reports are anonymous. To identify students who may need support:
Run individual Growth Reports
