CRT growth model at Horizonte Most students are enrolled less than a full

academic year, many lack a previous CRT score for comparison and many do not take the CRTs in the normal test sequence. Consequently there are very few students that meet the criteria needed for the SLCSD growth model.

CRT growth at Horizonte is measured by the change in scaled score from one year to the next in the same content area.

Horizonte growth model applied to other district high schools Using same growth model for students

enrolled less than a full academic year and grouped in ethnic/income cohorts, growth results at Horizonte were similar if not better than other schools.
