Progress monitoring option
It would be nice for our intervention teachers to have an option to progress monitor students on individualized learning plans to ensure students are making adequate progress towards their goals. This may be an option through additional paid platforms, but we only have access to MAPS Growth for the time being.

RIT Reference Chart Updates
The latest RIT Reference Chart Brochure is from 2019. An updated copy with the 2025 norms would be VERY helpful as it is a great visual for new teachers doing MAP testing for the first time along with parents. It gives a great example of where students are currently at.

Share the Complete Norms Table
In the 2025 MAP Growth Norms Technical Manual, the achievement percentiles are represented in increments of 5. This would be more useful if you posted the entire table, similar to the 2020 norms, with Pct. 1-99.

Adding back student data to Student Profile graphs!
When clicking on individual students reports, at the bottom of the report on the line graph that shows the data over time, you used to be able to click on any term, and all the student information appeared. (RIT score, percentage, how many minutes the test took, Rapid Guessing percentage, etc.). Now - that information is no longer available!! It only shows the students' RIT score. Why would you take away all that helpful data?!? If I'm trying to look at students' data over time to look for patterns, why would you not keep it all in the same place??…

Allow accommodations to be added to multiple grade levels
Allowing accommodations to be added to multiple grade levels would be really helpful to our HS campuses. Courses often have multiple grade levels and when adding accommodations to multiple students at once, they cannot see the grade levels.

K-2 measurement and data questions
For the K-2 measurement and data questions, we've noticed so many questions geared towards entering the times for a digital clock, and very few questions around measuring length or reading a graph. The digital clock questions also are tricky formatting wise (for example, if the time is four thirty, students need to know to put the 4 immediately to the left of the colon and not in the first blank space). I think it would be a more accurate reflection of measurement and data abilities to include more measuring length and reading data questions in this section of the test…

Chemistry
MAP Growth science assessments provide a valuable overview of student performance in Life Science, Earth Science, and Physical Science. However, as our high school chemistry curriculum becomes increasingly rigorous and specialized, we believe that a Chemistry-focused MAP test would offer more targeted insights into student understanding, readiness, and growth in this subject area.
A Chemistry-specific assessment could help:
-Provide data directly aligned with high school chemistry standards and learning objectives.
-Identify gaps in prerequisite knowledge that may affect student success in advanced science courses.
-Support teachers with precise instructional planning and interventions tailored to chemistry content.1 vote -
Site navigability
In general, it is very hard to find what I am looking for on the website. I wish the dashboard took me directly to both fluency and MAP Growth reports. Instead, I have to search each time I log in to get the information I am seeking. I find the website has a lot of information, but it is cumbersome to navigate. I have to go many clicks deep to find what I am looking for. Often, when I try to look for something that I’ve found before, I give up because I cannot easily locate it.

Allow growth percentiles to appear when hovering over past RIT scores on individual performance plots.
At present, both achievement and growth percentiles are reported for the most recent score, but only prior achievement percentiles appear when hovering over previous data points on the individual student performance graph for a subject. student growth percentiles should also pop up because relative growth at different times can be a crucial diagnostic.

Include growth norms and plots for Grade 11 Science even if sample size is smaller & confidence intervals are larger than for other subjects
Presently, Science Growth plots stop at Grade 10. Yet, high school science education continues, and exit exams offered by many states and districts come at the end of Grade 11. Science Growth & Achievement data through at least Grade 11 would be extremely valuable, even if national sample sizes are relatively small -- they're large enough to generate means and confidence intervals.

Restore permissions to users to update our own districts
Removing our permissions to edit our own district has been disastrous. We've had to add a new school, and where we could have done so immediately in the past, we have now waited over a week, and the school still has not been updated. This is ridiculous.

Bring back the “Create Student” button in Active Session for Proctors
Ever since the recent update, the “Create Student” button in Active Session has disappeared for District Proctors.
I get it — streamlining user roles is probably meant to improve clarity and control. But honestly, this was not a smart move. That button was essential for those last-minute situations when a student shows up for testing but isn’t rostered yet.
Having to go through Manage Students or upload a full roster file just to create one student profile is not efficient, especially in high-pressure testing moments. The old setup let us create a student in seconds, right in Active Session. It…

Growth linear bar graph on the teacher view

Emails
An admin reported that teachers are receiving emails when new user accounts are created. They’ve asked that these notifications be suppressed, as they will handle user communication directly. Please update the system to stop these emails from being sent to end users upon account creation.

Improve Email Security from Your Domains
Currently NWEA does not have SFP records for its domains. This allows any SMTP server to say they are from NWEA when they are not. SFP records state to the world which SMPT servers are allowed to email on your behalf. Currently the entire world is able to email on your behalf because you don't have SFP records defined in your domain. I can not whitelist any domain to be allowed into our network if anyone can spoof who it is coming from. Please add needed SFP records to all you domains so we can trust emails are coming from…

Add or remove available tests for a school within a district
Allow tests to be added or removed from a school within a district rather than only district-wide.
If I have an Elementary School, I want them to have access to different tests than a high school or middle school or even a summer school, where we may just use screening tests.
Having to scroll through every test makes it more stressful, with a higher likelihood of mistakes.

Please include the amount of time tested on the Achievement Status & Growth Summary with Quadrant Chart
Please include the amount of time tested on the Achievement Status & Growth Summary with Quadrant Chart. It is very helpful for the teachers to have this information as they try to encourage their students to take more time on future tests.

Potential Cheating Indicators
Since AI misuse has become prevalent, NWEA should develop "indicators" to flag test results for potential cheating behaviors. Districts could investigate to confirm or refute flagged scores.

Bring the NWEA Secure Browser app up to industry standards.
This is more focused feedback than a suggestion, and we hope it's not taken lightly.
The NWEA Secure Browser app on Windows is notoriously worse at handling any kind of network disturbance—interruptions, hiccups, temporary disconnections, you name it—than its ChromeOS counterpart.
We’ve spent countless hours “troubleshooting” issues with NWEA support between the Winter 2024–2025 and Spring 2024–2025 periods, but the word troubleshooting is doing some heavy lifting here. While every person who has assisted us by phone has been polite, professional, and willing to help, it’s clear that NWEA lacks the systems and tools necessary to effectively support large schools…
