When you download a Progress Report for one of your students from Subject, you’ll receive a PDF that looks similar to the example below.

At the top of the report (circled in red), you’ll find key student details:

  • Student Name

  • Student Email Address

  • Section Name (this typically refers to the class or group name used by your school)

  • School Name


Below the student information, the course section (circled in blue) provides an overview of the student’s progress in their Subject course(s). Depending on the student and how you generate the report, there may be multiple courses listed.

For each course, you’ll see:

  • Course Name

  • Score (one of three options — see the FAQ section below for more on how these work)

  • Course Start Date

  • Progress: how much of the course the student has completed

  • Time on Course: total time spent in the course

  • Status: whether the student is on pace, ahead, or behind based on their school’s pacing schedule


The final section of the report includes a Suggested Letter Grade Scale and a reminder that teachers have final discretion when determining the student’s official grade in their Subject course.


FAQs

Q: What are the three different Score options I can choose for a Progress Report, and how do they differ?

When downloading a Progress Report, you’ll be asked to choose from three Score options:


1. Attempted Score

This score represents the student’s average across only the work they’ve submitted so far.

For example:
If a course has 100 possible points and the student has completed work worth 80 points, the Attempted Score is calculated out of 80 (the points they’ve attempted), not the full 100.


2. Current Score

This score reflects the student’s grade based on their current pacing — it assumes that any work they should have completed by now but haven’t is counted as a zero.

For example:
If a student has completed 80% of a 100-point course and earned 100% on those assignments, but should be at 90% progress, their Current Score would be 80/90 = 88.9%.

If the student is working ahead of schedule, the denominator (total possible points) for the Current Score will match their Attempted Score.


3. Projected Final Score

This score estimates what the student’s final grade would be if they did not complete any additional work in the course.

It calculates the grade out of the total course points and marks all unattempted assignments as zeros.

For example:
If a student has completed 80% of the course and earned 100% on all submitted work, their Projected Final Score would be 80/100 = 80%.
