© 2014, Florida Department of Education. All Rights Reserved. Why no reported score for ELA? Score Status Flag Each test record in the data file has a score status flag. If a score is not reported, the score status flag defines the reason why the score wasn’t reported. Only the score for the test records that were assigned with score flag of 1 (regular report) or 9 (late reporting) are reported. The score status flag can be found in the DSR file and school report of students. 2

Score Status Flag (ELA) There are three score flags in the DSR file for ELA: one for Reading component test record, one for Writing component test record and one for ELA score.
