What every number on your class page means

The tiles, the roster columns and the trends charts, one line each, plus what to check when a number looks wrong.

Open a class and you see a row of tiles, then three tabs: Needs you, By student and By chapter. Here is what each number counts.

The row of tiles at the top of a class: Students, Avg completion, Reading, Avg score, At risk and Needs you.
Each tile has an information icon with a short reminder of what it counts.

The tiles

TileWhat it counts
StudentsStudents who have joined. Invitations not yet accepted are not counted.
Avg completionThe share of chapters each student has finished, averaged. A student who hasn't started counts as zero.
ReadingHow far into the book the class has read, on average. Underneath: total reading time for the whole class.
Avg scoreEach student's best score on each practice quiz, plus every chapter exam attempt, averaged. A dash means no scores yet.
At riskStudents under 50% complete and inactive for 14 days or more. Both have to be true.
Needs youQuestions and messages from students that no one has read yet, written answers to review, grades you're holding, and uploads that couldn't be read.

When a chapter counts as finished

A chapter counts once the student has read it through, ticked every hands-on step, and passed its practice quiz with 80% or better. Smart-graded QuickBooks work does not affect completion.

Completion only counts the chapters every plan includes. Standard-only chapters and the appendices never count, so a class that finishes every counted chapter reads 100%.

The By student tab

ColumnWhat it shows
StudentName, email, and a badge if one applies: At risk, Invited or Awaiting approval.

QuizzesBest practice quiz scores.
ExamsBest chapter exam scores.

Click a heading to sort. The filters above the table (Active, Not joined, At risk, Ace) narrow the list. Ace is a 90% or better average over two or more graded results, with three quarters of the course done. View progress opens a student's full record.

By chapter shows one card per chapter with the class's reading, quiz, exam and smart grader results. Click a card to see each student.

View classroom trends, under the class name, opens the charts: score distribution, weekly active students, chapter completion, top performers, and the at-risk students by name. Every Avg score and the score distribution count only students with two or more graded results: one aced quiz is a result, not a record. Top performers lists students with two graded results, a finished chapter and something done in the last 14 days, ranked half on their average score and half on their Points.

When a number looks wrong

  • Completion is 0% but the class is working. It moves a whole chapter at a time, while Reading moves every page. See Why completion shows 0% when students are working.
  • Reading and quiz numbers stopped moving. Check Progress tracking in Class settings. While it's off, the reader records nothing for this class, and the gap isn't filled in later.
  • You hid chapters and completion did not change. Hiding chapters changes what students see, not how completion is counted.
