School Growth Study Part I:
School Level Performance on a Growth Index(June, 2009)
Introduction
Interest in the academic growth of individual students has risen steadily over the past decade. Such interest is at
least acknowledged in virtually all contemporary declarations of the mission of K-12 schools, school districts and
charter school organizations. Beginning in 1999, NWEA initiated a series of triennial norms studies that provided
references for individual growth. The first study summarized individual student growth within grade levels. In the
2002 study, growth norms were reported by grade level and by 10-point blocks that contained the starting RIT
score. The 2005 study reduced the size of the starting unit to the individual RIT level, allowing norms to be
produced for each starting RIT value across the achievement range for reading, language usage, and mathematics
in grades 2 through 10. Evolving from the 2005 study was the concept of a growth indexscore. This index
provided a straightforward way of referencing individual student growth to the RIT point growth norms:
Growth Index= student RIT growth RIT point growth norm.
A positive Growth Index value indicates how far above the norm the students growth is, a negative Growth Index
value indicates how far below the norm the students growth is, and a zero Growth Index value indicates that the
students growth is consistent with the norm group.
The Growth Index concept has been shown to appeal to parents, teachers and school leaders as a quick way to
reference and screen student achievement growth. In addition, Cronin and Bowe (2006) used the Growth Index
concept as a basis for developing school growth norms. Just as the Growth Index itself has been used to evaluate
individual student growth, this extension has been used by school leaders, district and organizational administrators
and local policy makers to examine and evaluate school-level gains using term-to-term comparisons.
This report covers the first part of a two-part study. It represents an update of the 2006 study, using data from the
2008 RIT Scale Norms. Like the 2006 study it is limited to change that occurred on a term-to-term basis:beginning-of-year to end-of-year, beginning-of-year to beginning-of-next-year, and end-of-year to end-of-next-year.
Part 2 of the study will take advantage of the longitudinal nature of the data used for the 2008 norms study. It uses
student and school characteristics as covariates of growth and examines school level growth over 3 to 4 year time
frames. Release of Part 2 is tentatively scheduled for early in 2010.
Method
Candidate Test Records
The same initial pool of candidate test records that was used for the NWEA 2008 RIT Scale Norms(NWEA, 2008)
was used for this study. This pool was created by retrieving test event records from all NWEA MAP test events thathad been administered as part of a school- or school district-sponsored testing program in fall 2002 through fall
2007. The content domains for these tests included reading, language usage, mathematics, science concepts and
processes, and general science topics. All tests were built around a multi-goal structure that was based on a set of
content standards. In most instances, the content standards from the state in which the test was to be
administered were used to structure the tests content. Mathematics test content was partitioned into blocks that
were bounded by the content specifications of multiple grades. The objectives and skills that defined these
boundaries were those provided in the states content specifications for grades 2 through 5 and for grades 6 and
above. When a students instruction fell outside this basic structure, other MAP tests were used (such as MAP for
Primary Grades tests and upper level mathematics tests.

In order to be included in the candidate pool for the study, each test record from a standard MAP test was required
to meet all of several conditions. These conditions were imposed to ensure that test scores were valid and could
be associated with segments of the U.S. school age population in terms of ethnic background and school level
poverty. The conditions also ensured that the test events could be tied to the amount of instructional time that had
elapsed from the beginning of the school year or from the last test event for the student prior to taking the test of
interest. The specific criteria required that each standard MAP test record included data to verify that the test
event:
Represented a complete, normally terminated test administration
Was one for which at least 40% of the items were answered correctly a fairly liberal lower limit for
computerized adaptive tests
Came from a school for which the 2006-2007 instructional calendar was known
Came from a school which administered the MAP tests to at least 80% of its students who were in the
same grade in the same testing time frame (term)
Came from a school that was included in the National Center for Education Statistics 2005 Common
Core of Data and had non-missing school level information concerning the number of students who
were eligible to receive free and reduced priced lunches
Came from a school where the specific MAP test was not part of the schools first term of administering
the test
Was the more precise (lower standard error of measurement) of two test events in the same domain
area that were administered within a three-week period of one another
Included the students ethnic code on the test event record.
In addition to these basic criteria, student-level test histories in the pool were further screened for several additional
criteria. These included:
The presence of at least two test events that occurred in the beginning of and at the end of oneacademic year and were separated by 28 to 34 instructional weeks and occurred in the same school,
OR
The presence of at least two test events that occurred in the beginning of one academic year and in the
beginning of the next academic year and were separated by 35 to 40 instructional weeks, OR
The presence of at least two test events that occurred at the end of one academic year and at the end
of the next academic year and were separated by 35 to 40 instructional weeks.
In the case of beginning-of-year to beginning-of-next-year comparisons, observed growth was attributed to the
school in the first time period. For end-of-year to end-of-next-year comparisons, observed growth was attributed to
the school in the second time period.
Analysis
Growth Index scores were calculated using the formula given in the introduction. The RIT point growth norms were
taken from the tables in Chapter 5 of the NWEA 2008 RIT Scale Norms(NWEA, 2008) that provide growth
estimates for 32 and 36 instructional weeks in reading, language usage, and mathematics for starting grades 2
through 10. These scores were aggregated for each school-grade combination to determine:
1. The direction and magnitude (mean) of the observed growth, and
2. The proportion of students that had observed growth greater than or equal to the mean projected
growth (the norm).

The aggregates from school-grade combinations that were based on fewer than 20 observations were dropped
from further analyses. Descriptive statistics were computed for the remaining combinations (school-grade means).
Results
The final set of test records came from 6,264 individual schools nested in 1,184 school districts in 41 states. Over
1.8 million individual students test records were included, with the vast majority tested in multiple content areas.
Table 1 provides an example of state by grade level breakdown of the number of schools represented in the study.
This particular table is based on reading data from the beginning-of-year to end-of-year comparisons. Other
content areas and comparison periods would look similar, although the beginning-of-year to beginning-of-next-year
and the end-of-year to end-of-next-year comparison periods represent more schools.

The distributions of school-level growth index means are summarized at the top of Tables 2-10 for reading,
language usage and mathematics. These tables also provide the percentile rank distributions for these growth
index means. In each content area the tables are sequenced in the order of beginning-of-year to end-of-year,
beginning-of-year to beginning-of-next-year, and end-of-year to end-of-next-year. At the top of each table are the
means and standard deviations of the school levelmean growth index scores. Since the school-level means are
based on varying numbers of students, weighted means are also included. These provide more accurate estimatesof the average growth index across schools. To provide a better sense of the variability of growth index scores
within schools, the average of the standard deviation of the school-level growth index was also provided. The
percentile ranks in these tables are the raw (un-weighted) school-level growth index scores.
Taken as a set, Tables 2-7 generally mimic a familiar pattern of growth across grade levels: the aggregate rate of
growth decreases as grade level increases. In these tables we see that for reading and language usage this
pattern holds with only minor exceptions. In mathematics (Tables 8-10), this pattern does not hold in the way that it
does when individual students mathematics scores are not clustered within their school.
When type of comparison is made the focus, a second pattern can be seen across Tables 2-10. The means for
beginning-of-year to end-of-year comparisons are above, and often substantially above, the corresponding means
for either beginning-of-year to beginning-of-next-year or end-of-year to end-of-next-year comparisons. Thesedifferences are on the same order as those observed in the 2006 study.
Tables 11-19 summarize the distributions of school-level means of the proportion of students whose growth was
greater than or equal to the mean projected growth given the starting RIT, grade level and content area. The
percentile distributions of these proportions are also included. These tables are sequenced in the same order as
Tables 2-10. It will be noted that the tables reporting beginning-of-year to end-of-year comparisons show that the
average proportions of students meeting or exceeding growth projections that are somewhat above ( 20%) the
corresponding average proportions for either beginning-of-year to beginning-of-next-year or end-of-year to end-of-
next-year comparisons. These differences are somewhat more pronounced than those observed in the 2006 study.
Discussion
The patterns of findings from this study generally echo those of the 2006 study. Where differences are observed
and beginning-of-year to end-of-year comparisons are involved, sampling differences can serve as at least a part of
a plausible explanation. The 2006 study used fall and spring test records from the same students, without
consideration of the instructional time that elapsed between the two tests. In this study, instructional weeks
between tests were tightly constrained to 28-34 weeks. Comparisons made over shorter time frames in the 2006
study may have contributed to differences between the two sets of findings.
Finally, it is worth mentioning a subtle shift made in this study: the term growth target has been avoided. Mean
growth or mean growth projection are used instead. This is not a substantive difference but one that is intendedto acknowledge that growth means were being referred to as growth targets. At best growth means would be used
as referencesfor setting growth targets. Growth targets result from professional judgments that are hopefully
informed but not dictated by empirical data.
