Available Aggregate Pools for 2024-2025
On August 19, 2024, Peregrine published new aggregate pools with expanded topic and subject level benchmarking available in many areas. External comparisons of exam scores with Peregrine’s various aggregate pools are used as a relative index of how your assessed program compares with other programs. There are multiple pools to select from for the comparisons, which include:
General Demographics:
- 2-Year and 4-Year Institutions
- Faith-based Institutions
- HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities)
- Located Inside the U.S. (nationally and by individual states)
- Military-Centric Schools
- Privately Owned (For Profit and Not-for-Profit)
- Publicly Owned Universities
- Very Large, Privately Owned Universities
Specialized and International Aggregates:
- ACBSP, IACBE, AACSB, AUPHA, CAMHE (with various U.S., non-U.S., and regional classifications)
- Outside U.S. (including accreditors such as AMBA, EQUIS, and specific regions such as Africa, Asia, Canada, India, Latin America, etc.)
- Regional Accreditors:
- Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges
- Higher Learning Commission
- Middle States Commission on Higher Education
- New England Commission of Higher Education
- Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities
- Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
- Western Association of Schools and Colleges
Other:
- CAEP
- NAEYC
- NASPAA
To ensure the reliability and validity of these aggregates, Peregrine adheres to specific criteria. Specifically, to create an aggregate at least three schools must administer an exam, with 30 exams per school and a total of 300 exams completed to create a pool. This ensures that the sample is robust enough to offer a meaningful comparison.
Unlock the Full Potential of the Reports
If you are currently a client of Peregrine, you have access to robust reports for analysis of your data. Some highlights of what you can do with the reports include, but are not limited to:
- Zero in on your students’ strengths and knowledge gaps through subject and topic level analysis of your results using the Internal Analysis Report.
- Compare your exam results against up to five external benchmarks using the External Comparison Report. If you are utilizing the inbound and outbound exam construct, the report offers the additional benefit of percentage change comparisons between inbound (at the start of a program) and outbound (at the end of a program) exam scores.
- Look at trends in your results over time and the effect of improvements or changes made to your program using the Longitudinal Report.
- Use the Response Distractor Report as another tool to guide improvement in your program by reviewing the types of errors your students are making most frequently.
