SAM Sub-Group Identifier Data Summary Excluding Students with Outlying Changes in

Lexile Scores

•SAM sub-group data can be imported from a student information system or manually input by teachers & administrators. Students without a gender indicated often have no valid sub-group data in SAM. GENED & English Proficient are default values for their SAM education groups.

• The data includes students with a change in Lexile of 0 to 250 Lexiles.

Annual Lexile Growth Expectations by Grade Level

Scholastic and MetaMetrics analyzed Lexile growth from a large urban district whose demographics resembled those of the nation.

Six years of growth data was collected for more than 350,000 students in Grades 3-10.

Trends revealed:

• Annual growth expectations are greater for students in lower Lexile ranges than in higher Lexile ranges.

• Average growth tends to be greater in the lower grades, and lower in the higher grades.

This chart was designed to set growth expectations for groups of students. A student’s initial Lexile measure should be used to set an individual’s growth goal.
