Overview

The Performance Analysis report provides a technical breakdown of learner achievement across subject-specific scales. It is primarily used to evaluate grade performance through visual graphs and scale summaries for various mark types, including Promotion, Merit, and Year marks.

Reports > Learners > Marks and Achievements: Performance Analysis

Purpose of Feature

This report allows school management to identify performance trends and ensure that academic results align with departmental expectations. It is a critical tool for:

• Visualising Achievement: Using graphs to identify the distribution of learners across different achievement levels (1–7).

• Promotion Auditing: Reviewing final results calculated via Promotion Formulas.

• Compliance Verification: Ensuring that marks captured throughout the year are correctly weighted for official submissions.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Define Basic Parameters

1. Year: Select the relevant academic year.

2. Mark Type: Choose the specific calculation type (e.g., Promotion Mark, Year Mark, or a Custom Mark type).

3. Grade: Select the grade level you wish to analyse.

2. Select Subjects and Generate

1. Identify the required subjects in the left-hand list.

2. Move the subjects to the right-hand block using the arrows.

3. Click Generate to view the graphs and scale summaries.

System Behaviour

• Formula Dependency: If no data appears for a specific grade or subject, it indicates that Template Formulas or Subject-Specific Formulas have not been configured.

• Real-time Data Processing: The report pulls data directly from the Mark Capture module. If a mark is updated, the graphs will reflect the change immediately upon re-generation.

• Hierarchy Alignment: For schools performing Departmental (DOE) submissions, the system requires marks to be captured at the Task level (Orange Level) throughout the year to ensure formula accuracy in this report.

Restrictions & Reasons

• Missing Data: If a subject is selected but no graph is generated, the most common reason is an unfinalised Subject-Specific Formula.

  • Reason: The system cannot analyse performance without a defined mathematical rule (weighting) to determine how raw scores reach the final mark type.

• User Rights: Access to this report is restricted to users with Curriculum Setup or Academic Reporting permissions.

  • Reason: This report contains sensitive consolidated academic data used for high-level decision-making and departmental compliance.
