Informative reports provide tracking of individual students’ progress over time, as well as comparisons of school performance against similar schools and international standards.
Extensive, reliable data
Participating schools receive a comprehensive set of data, which includes the performance of each student and class, aggregated whole school data and valuable comparisons to an international cohort.
Identify trends and patterns
Interactive reports allow educators to investigate and analyse their data to gather diagnostic information and identify patterns. Useful summary statistics further support the evaluation of school programs and target setting.
Easily distribute and communicate results
Multiple report formats make it easy for schools to distribute results to parents, classroom teachers and school leaders. Data is also provided in spreadsheet format for importing into data management systems.
Reports available for:

Unique insights with the ISA
Track student progress with scale scores
ISA reports use scale scores, rather than raw scores, enabling all students across grades to be compared within the same subject. These scores also enable student performance to be accurately compared from one year to the next, providing quantitative evidence of student progress over time.
Compare school performance internationally
ISA reports allow schools to see how they are performing internationally, based on a large cohort of students from around the world. See the list of participating schools.
Comparisons are provided to three different groups:
- All schools participating in the ISA
- Schools in the same region
- Schools with a similar proportion of students with an English-speaking background
National comparisons are also provided for Grade 8, 9 and 10 participants, based on the reference of the most recent PISA administration.
“ISA results provide a good external benchmark for us to assess how we are doing. It provides additional data sources to support our self-evaluation of program progress and development.”
Webinar: Introduction to the ISA
The ISA Team regularly hosts online webinars for schools who would like to learn more about the ISA.
Inform school improvement
Comprehensive reports help school leaders and teachers to identify trends and patterns in comparison with all other ISA schools. Schools can evaluate instructional programs against objective evidence of student performance and identify gaps in student understanding, as well as growth in learning.
Extensive support material is available to help schools to use their data to inform and improve their teaching programs. Contact us for more information.
