Washington High School Transcript

Introduction

The WA High School Transcript includes final grade, credit, and test score information for students in grade levels 9 – 12. Courses completed in grade levels 8 and lower also qualify when the grade record has potential credit. The report lists names of only high schools. However, if a student received a potential credit in grades 8 or lower in a different school, then the report displays the name of that school along with the list of high schools provided there is no break in enrollment.

There are three versions of this report:

  • Washington State Transcript 2008 and beyond – Use this transcript, because it is the most up-to-date. This transcript lists graduation requirements in addition to the grade and credit information included in the other transcripts.
  • Washington State Transcript PDF 2007 – This transcript lists the required WASL tests for Mathematics, Reading, and Writing as required for the 2007 graduation year. This report has not been updated since the 2007-2008 school year.
  • Washington State Transcript PDF – This transcript does not include any of the WASL test score information and can be used for transcripts before 2007. This report has not been updated since the 2007-2008 school year.

Selection Criteria

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

  • A Washington-specific Grade Scale must be defined in District Setup.
  • Courses must have the appropriate potential credits assigned, especially the 7th and 8th-grade courses that need to be included in the transcript.
  • The End of Term Process must be complete.

Historical Grade Selection Criteria

The report selects historical records from the [StoredGrades] table based on the following criteria:

  • The grade must be associated with one of the store codes entered at report runtime.
  • The grade level associated with the grade must be greater than or equal to 8.
  • The grade must be associated with a potential credit.
  • The grade must not be associated with a school that is excluded from state reporting.

Report Input

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

Field

Description

Students to Include

Indicate which students to include in the report by selecting one of the following options:

  • The Selected [number] Students Only – Run the report for students in the current selection.
  • All Students – Run the report for all students in the current school or district that meet the selection criteria.

Note: If running the report for a single student, or group of students, select the students before running a report.

Store Codes (Terms) To Include

Enter a list of store codes, comma-separated, without spaces, such as S1, S2. This entry determines which historical grades are included in the transcript for the student.

A default list of Store Codes may be entered on the District Information page.

A store code is a letter-number combination assigned to a historical grade. You may choose any letter-number combination, but many administrators choose to use a term abbreviation. The store code is entered when running the Permanently Store Grades process, or when manually entering a historical grade on an individual student’s Historical Grades page.

Additional State Requirements

Reading Standard

Indicates whether the student met the Washington state reading standard.

The report uses the value for Reading Standard on the State/Province-WA > select student > State Graduation Requirements page.

When the field [S_WA_STU_Grad_Req_X]ReadingStandard does not contain a value of Met, Not Met, or Waived on the State Graduation Requirements page, the report refers to the student Test Scores page to determine if the student has a State test type named “WASL High School” and converts the value from the test named Reading. If there is more than one Alpha score, the report chooses the score with the highest Number score.

Met: If the Alpha score is one of the following, the report returns Met: 4, 3, S1, S2, S3, S4, L3, L4, S-MO, S-L2, S-D3, S-D4, S-P3, S-P4, MET.

Waived: If the Alpha score is W, then the report returns Waived.

Not Met: If the Alpha score is not one of the values listed above, the report returns Not Met.

Note: Students in the graduating classes of 2014 and 2015 can meet the graduation requirement by successfully meeting the Washington State Reading (HSPE) AND Washington State Writing Standard (HSPE) OR by successfully meeting the Washington State English Language Arts Standard (SBA).
