Every Wayground (formerly Quizizz) game you run generates a detailed report automatically — but most teachers only ever glance at the leaderboard. That is leaving the platform's real value on the table. The reports tab can tell you which standard your class has not mastered, which student is quietly guessing, and which question you need to reteach tomorrow morning. This guide walks through where the data lives, what each view means, and the fastest routines for turning numbers into instruction.
Where to Find Your Reports
From your teacher dashboard, open the Reports section in the left menu. Every activity you have hosted live or assigned as homework appears here, newest first, with a quick summary: activity name, date, number of participants, and class accuracy. Click any row to open the full report.
The Three Views That Matter
1. Overview (class level)
The headline numbers: overall accuracy, number of students who played, and completion rate for assignments. Use it for a ten-second health check — anything below roughly 70% class accuracy usually means the material needs another pass before you move on.
2. Questions view
This is the most instructionally useful screen on the platform. Every question is listed with its class-wide accuracy. Sort ascending and look at the bottom two or three items:
- One question far below the rest — often a misconception worth a five-minute reteach, or occasionally a badly worded question (check it before blaming the class).
- A cluster of related low questions — the concept itself has not landed; plan a reteach lesson, not just a redo.
- Wrong-answer distribution — seeing that 60% of the class chose the same wrong option tells you exactly which misconception to address.
3. Players view (student level)
Each student's accuracy, points, time per question, and answer-by-answer detail. The patterns worth scanning for:
- High accuracy, low points: a careful, slower student — fine. Consider disabling timers for them via accommodations.
- Very fast completion with low accuracy: random tapping. Assign a retake with attempts set to "highest counts."
- Strong start, weak finish: stamina or attention — shorten future activities or split them in two.
Downloading and Sharing Reports
Reports export as spreadsheets — useful for gradebook import, RTI/MTSS documentation, and parent conferences. You can also email individual student results to parents from the report screen. For gradebook purposes remember: grade from the accuracy column, never from points, because points include speed bonuses and power-up multipliers that have nothing to do with mastery.
Three Five-Minute Routines That Use Reports Well
- The next-morning bell ringer: after any game, take the single lowest-accuracy question, reword it slightly, and open the next class with it. Retrieval plus reteach in five minutes.
- The Friday spiral check: run a short mixed review (this week + two older topics) and compare the older topics' accuracy to their original scores. Falling numbers mean it is time to spiral that content back in — set it up with a weekend homework set.
- The pre-test triage: two days before a unit test, assign a practice quiz. The Questions view becomes your review-day lesson plan: teach the bottom five questions, skip what everyone already knows.
Reports on Free vs Paid Plans
The free Starter plan includes the core reports above for recent activities. Paid Individual and School plans extend history, add growth tracking over time, standards tagging, and school-level admin dashboards. If you are deciding whether to upgrade, our plans and pricing guide breaks down exactly what each tier adds.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do reports stay available?
Reports remain in your account, though free-plan users may see limits on how far back detailed data goes. Export anything you need for records.
Can students see their own results?
Yes — students see their accuracy and correct answers at the end of a game (if the settings allow), and logged-in students can review past attempts on their dashboard.
Can I regrade or delete a game?
You can delete a report from your list. Individual answers cannot be regraded, but open-ended question types allow manual review and scoring.
Why do points and accuracy disagree?
Points reward speed, streaks, and power-ups on top of correctness. Accuracy counts only right answers — which is why it is the number to grade from.
