The 1st graph shows is a pie chart of the selected students daily attendance, the chart will show Present, Absent and Tardy totals, based on your attendance code setup.

The 3rd graph shows the current (not stored) students grades using current term display and the corresponding course averages. The graph will only show classes that are set to be stored.

The 4th item (admin only) shows the last time the students classes grades where modified. Only shows classes that are stored.

Hi Brian, For some reason

by rjdyer - 12/03/2009 - 12:02pm

Hi Brian,

For some reason the class averages for only 1 class per kid (seems to be a random class) is wrong. Under course averages one class always seems to have the same value 30.99? And under section class average (again only one class) has a 0 average... I looked at the XML files and I can't seem to figure out why this is. Any ideas?

Period Attendance

by rjdyer - 11/30/2009 - 9:22am

Hi Brian,

Nice job with this... I was wondering if the XML file can be changed to use the Attendance Conversion to accomodate Period attendance as well as daily. We use both in our district (Period for the high school and daily for everything else).

I am only getting the 1st graph (daily attendance) and the 4th item for admin and only the 1st graph (daily attendance)for teachers at the Middle School and elementary schools. What am I missing?

It works perfectly at the High School and Jr High.

Great add on!

Thanks,
Sherrie

Meeting Attendance

Is there a way to switch the pie chart to meeting attendance totals? Our School is a big fan of this customization. Thanks a lot.

Can't Get Grades Last Updated

by psdataqueen1 - 12/29/2008 - 5:37pm

I can get all to work except Grades Last Updated ... no data shows up. I did the "fix" for the others and that worked for them, but ... any ideas on why it may not be showing?

Could you let me know if there is a error on the server after loading the page? Also make sure you are using the newest version for the version of PowerSchool you are using.

Can't Get Grades Last Updated

by psdataqueen1 - 12/30/2008 - 11:17am

I was checking the report with my high school (10-12) ... that's where I'm missing the 2nd and 3rd graphs. BUT, if I run it for middle or jr. high, everything shows up. Went back to the actual page and deleted the ~[if.grade_level>=6] That brought back 2nd and 3rd graphs but am missing grades last updated again.

if.grade_level>=6

by jbocrie - 03/31/2009 - 10:54pm

Changed the 6 to 1 and your grades 10-12 will work.

Can't Get Grades Last Updated

by psdataqueen1 - 12/30/2008 - 11:08am

Hello, Brian

No error on server ... I'm on 5.2.0.9.0105. Had downloaded version 2.0.1 of the Student Stats page; saw a version 2.0.2 today and tried that. Now I get the Grades Last Updated, but have "lost" the 2nd and 3rd graphs. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious.

Thanks again!!

Just wanted to post again to thank you Brian for finally coming up with an AWESOME use of the Fusion Charts technology!

Charts broken by 5.2.0.9

by jazzy - 11/03/2008 - 3:35am

It looks like FusionCharts were upgraded in 5.2.0.9 and this great page is now broken.

Easily fixed by using the new chart names (remove FC_2_3_ from the beginning of the name).

Example of old name:
EMBED src="/flash/FC_2_3_MSColumn2D.swf"

Example of new name:
EMBED src="/flash/MSColumn2D.swf"

So go through stustats.html and update all the names to get it working again. Thanks for these great charts Brian.

Graphs displaying

by jbocrie - 10/13/2008 - 1:47pm

Oddly enough, I changed the grade level to 2, since we give number grades down to 2nd grade. This works perfectly at the elementary, and middle grades, but something happens when I get to the high school. Only 9th grade works. 10th-12th only show the attendance graph.
The class listing/last modified (4th item) is now not showing up at any of the schools.

Please make sure you are using the newest download. I'm not sure what would make the class last up date not work, that is the simplest query on the page. You may want to check your server for errors.

Graphs not displaying in grades 10-12

by Halifaxsd - 11/05/2008 - 10:10am

We are having the same problem Brian. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this?

Re: Graphs not displaying in grades 10-12

by brian_andle - 11/05/2008 - 5:00pm

Have you upgraded to version 5.2.0.9? If so this is the problem. I need to post a new set of files for 5.2.0.9 and above. There is a fix listed in the comments.

Easily fixed by using the new chart names (remove FC_2_3_ from the beginning of the name).

Example of old name:
EMBED src="/flash/FC_2_3_MSColumn2D.swf"

Example of new name:
EMBED src="/flash/MSColumn2D.swf"

I followed these

by PrioryTech - 12/05/2008 - 7:27pm

I followed these instructions, but grades 10-12 still don't show. What to do? My College Counselor really wants to use this!

Averages seem to include historical grades

by jpodhorez1 - 10/09/2008 - 4:03pm

One of our users noted that the class and course averages (the ones that the student's grades are compared against) seem to include historical grades as well as current term grades. He specifically noted that students in his class have their "compared to" class and course averages HIGHER than any current student's grade (in other words no student in his class has a current average above a 90 but the class and course averages showed an average above 90). While he didn't actually pull all historical grades and do the math, it would seem that additional grades are being included in the comparison. Any thoughts?

I just posted 2.0.1, I bet it fixes that error that you are seeing.

Meeting Attendance

by ddowns - 10/09/2008 - 11:51am

Could the data look at code to calculate the absences and translate into a pie chart by term?

Plans for period attendance?

by jpodhorez1 - 10/09/2008 - 9:50am

The page is awesome! Any chance on adding the option to do period attendance?

Re: Plans for period attendance?

by brian_andle - 10/09/2008 - 11:19am

At the moment no, I'm not sure how I would layout a chart. If it looked at all the periods I think it would be very confusing.

Brian Andle

It's really no different

by jpodhorez1 - 10/09/2008 - 12:01pm

It's really no different from daily when it comes to the display . . . just take the number of periods absent, tardy, and present and make the chart out of that.

Graphs displaying

by jbocrie - 10/08/2008 - 4:39pm

Brian, this is great! The daily attendance pie chart and class modification information is showing up perfectly. For some reason the 2 other graphs are not showing. I've tried in Firefox and Safari. Any thoughts?

Re: Graphs displaying

by brian_andle - 10/09/2008 - 8:15am

What grade level are you trying to display? I accidentally left a if statement that only shows the graph if the grade_level of the student it equal to or greater then 6. I will re post a version with out this and make the appropriate comments in the documentation.

For now, in the stustats.html files you will see a ~[if.grade_level>=6] change the grade level to the lowest grade that does percentage based grading.

I removed the if statement entirely and now it works.
Thanks again.
