These reports can be built using STAAR or local assessment data. Teachers can access their own version: the [Class Quintile Report](/v1/docs/class-quintile-report-for-texas-districts). The Quintile Analysis Report uses individual or aggregate assessment data and distributes students into five equal groups, or quintiles, with an average percent correct displayed for each quintile. Quintile analysis reports help identify performance gaps and which students might need intervention. ## **Access** - Principals can see individual student data and school-wide summary data. This data cannot be filtered to a specific course period/section. - District data viewers can see individual student and district-wide summary data. This data can be filtered to a single school. ## **Creating a Quintile Analysis Report for****Principals or District Data Viewers** ### Quick Guide 1.
