Grade/School LevelWVEIS Based Reports

• School Level Growth Model Summary

How do we summarize these?

• In order to create school level summaries from the growth model, we use medians from

• Student Growth Percentiles (SGPs)• Categories of growth• Low • Typical• High

From Student to School Growth• For whom can we calculate growth?• Only students in grades 4 – 11, in tested subjects• Students must have at least 2 consecutive scores• We examine RLA and Math• All assessed students will have a growth report, but at least

two consecutive data points are required for a growth score

• How do we aggregate growth to the school?

• Examine students by grade and by content for the state• Identify all of the students in the school• Take the median (middle) growth percentile of all students in

a school for each content.

How we Aggregate

• Before we go to a school, let’s think about aggregating a single grade.

The MEDIAN Growth Percentile for an entire grade is the MEDIAN of the Student Growth Percentiles for all students in that grade.
