I put together a table of results (below), identifying how many students in each grade scores in each of four quadrants, or percentile ranges.
We want high numbers of students scoring in the 75-100% row and low numbers in the 0-24%.
7th grade math has the top results with 11 of the 20 students scoring between 75-100%.
Our students are demonstrating academic growth by performing well in Math and Reading.
On the second table way down below is an example of one page of the student MAP test summary that will be sent home with report cards for students in grades 3-11. The graph shows all test scores over the past 3 years (4th grade will have two years and 3rd grade one year of scores).
The faint light blue line you can barely see is the national average. The gold line is the district average (which is well above the national average for our high school grades). The dark blue line is the individual students performance.
We want to see the dark blue line going uphill, the steeper the line the more the student has improved.
We also want to see the dark blue line above the light blue line, indicating the student is performing above average.
High performing students may have a difficult time showing large growth. If you look at the word summary below the graph, scoring high or high average is great even if the dark blue line is not always going uphill.
