# Tutorial 1: Aggregate and Visualize Your Data

In this tutorial, we will:

* **Collect** a data point (just about any data point will do)
  * any assessment score (SBAC, PARCC, CELDT, SRI, SMI, STAR Renaissance, any local assessment, any data in summary assessment, etc.)
  * number of absences (by Session / Grading Period)
  * etc.
* **Categorize** the data into buckets/groups/levels/performance bands etc.
* **Aggregate** the data (by Site / Ethnicity/ Grade Level /Program, etc.).

## Objective

Using what you learn in this tutorial, you will be able to create reports like this one:

*\*Note: I'll show you how to filter out the "Not Tested" or the students without data should you choose to do so.*
