Admins use benchmark targets as reference lines on reading charts (for example on a student’s progress report or in family communications). You do not enter benchmark numbers on a separate form, hFlow derives them from Tier 1 accuracy and fluency on the Languages page for each period (BOY, MOY, EOY).

​
How to change benchmark targets

  1. In the header, click Languages.
  2. Select a language, then choose School Year and Grade Level.
  3. Under Performance Tiers, click Edit Tiers and adjust Tier 1 accuracy and fluency for each period your team cares about.
  4. Click Save Changes.
Scroll to the Benchmarks table on the same page. Target Accuracy and Target Fluency for Beginning, Middle, and End of Year update to match Tier 1. After you save, reading visuals use those values as dashed benchmark lines when a student’s grade, language, and school year match.

​
Read-only benchmark summary (optional)

Some organizations also expose Configuration → Benchmarks as a read-only list filtered by school year, grade, and language. Values there mirror what Tier 1 defines. You cannot edit them on that screen. When in doubt, change tiers on Languages. For what tier labels mean in reports and rosters. See Tiers overview. For chart behavior. See Student progress charts.
