ABSTRACT=The need for quality in score reporting practices is represented in the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing (American Educational Research Association, American Psychological Association, & National Council on Measurement in Education, 2014). The purpose of this study was to introduce a ratings-based instrument to assess the quality of score reports and examine the reliability of scores obtained. Quality criteria were derived from best-practices published within the literature (Hambleton & Zenisky, 2013). The rating scale was used to assess a sample of 40 English-language individual student score reports for elementary-level accountability tests representing 42 states and 5 provinces in the United States and Canada. A two-facet generalizability study (i.e., sr x d x r) was completed with an overall reliability coefficient of G=0.78. Application of the rating scale may provide a means to support empirical study of relationships between score report quality and stakeholder outcomes including interpretation, use, and impact.
