In 1983 the Maryland State Department of Public Education (MSDE) issued a request for proposals for "The Development of the Score Reporting System for the Maryland Functional Testing Program." The MSDE called for a literature review, a national survey, a statewide survey of user needs and capabilities, an assessment of the state's report producing capability, and a final design for reports and a user's manual. Following a literature search, national and statewide surveys of reporting practices and information needs were conducted by Measurement Incorporated. Common and unique needs of district and building administrators, teachers and counselors, and parents and students were found. Using the nationwide search results, the information needs of students, parents, teachers, guidance counselors, principals, and district administrators in Maryland were surveyed. Score report design was based upon these studies emphasizing the accountability function of the tests. Four levels of reporting and seven content areas necessitated 28 separate score reports. Examples of four levels of reports (student, class, school, and local education agency) are presented. Each report is oriented to a specific audience, visual clutter is reduced, and diagnostic information is briefly presented. A user's guide provides thorough background on score interpretation at multiple levels. This score reporting system appears to meet the responsibilities and information needs of all its audiences.
