Student - School Association Data

Introduction

The purpose of the Student School Association (SSA) file is to capture the school(s) in which a student attends in your district throughout the currently selected school year for funding and accountability purposes.

Selection Criteria

Selection criteria determine which database records are used in the report. Refer to selection criteria for analysis when the report does not return the correct records.

Student Selection

The report selects records from the [Students] or [ReEnrollments] table based on the following criteria:

  • The student is not flagged as Exclude from State Reporting.

  • The school is not flagged as Exclude from State Reporting.

  • The student's school enrollment falls within the Report Start and End Dates.

  • The student is not pre-registered.

  • The Exclude from State Reporting flag is not checked for the Enrollment record.

Note: Student records that have the same entry and exit dates, and that are designated with exit code 11 (Transfer to a public school in the same school district) are excluded.

Graduates: Students that are graduating MUST have the Graduate Exit Code field ([S_CO_STU_X]SeniorExitCode) on the Grad info tab populated with the appropriate graduate exit code for them to be correctly reported as a graduate.

For help with navigation and running the report, see How to Find and Generate a Report.
