Why This Data Matters

Growth shows how much students are learning each year and over time.

What It Can & Cannot Tell You

It Can Tell You:

  • Can highlight how much learning students gained in a year.
  • Can identify schools making strong progress.

It Cannot Tell You:

  • Cannot guarantee that every student will reach proficiency at the same pace.
  • Cannot be used alone to judge a school, since student needs and resources also play a role.
