Student Growth Section
Growth is divided into two sub-categories: –All students –Bottom twenty-five percent of students, if
those students have not attained a proficient or advanced score.
(A proposal has been submitted changing this to a true bottom 25% of students, regardless of their prior test score.)
Growth Index
30 “matched scores” needed to receive a grade for each growth section.– If less than 30 scores for the bottom 25% section, grade is
based on total growth.– If there are less than 30 scores for the total growth
section, the report card grade is computed using 50% Student Achievement and 50% Whole School Performance.

Whole School Performance Section
Components vary by grade span: elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools.– Grade span is determined
