1. Grade/School Level WVEIS Based Reports School Level Growth Model Summary

2. 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

3. 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.

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