Academic Growth

The performance framework is built around a range of student outcome measures organized beneath three performance indicators: Academic Achievement, Academic Growth, and Postsecondary & Workforce Readiness. For the Academic Growth performance indicator, the framework assigns ratings based on median student growth percentile (MGPs) and Percent On-Track to Proficiency calculations that are generated using the Colorado Growth Model. At the elementary and middle school level, Academic Growth metrics are determined for CMAS English Language Arts and Math, and the English Language Proficiency Assessment. At the high school level, PSAT/SAT Evidence Based Reading & Writing and Math are used for growth determinations.

The displays reflect by grade levels, median growth percentiles by assessment for all students and by sub-groups along with their assigned ratings. The color of the triangle indicates the calculated ratings with each colored bars indicating the range of scores associated with the possible ratings.

At the middle school level, the performance framework determines Academic Growth ratings based on metrics generated using the Colorado Growth Model. These metrics measure student progress from one year to the next on the annual CMAS assessments. Median student growth percentiles (MGPs) are the basic performance metric used to evaluate growth outcomes. For English Language Arts, MGPs are reported for the entire tested population and for the following student subgroups:

Free/Reduced-Price Lunch Eligible Students - These MGP calculations represent growth outcomes for students who are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Minority Students - These MGP calculations represent growth outcomes for students with racial or ethnic backgrounds other than White.

English Learners - These MGP calculations represent growth outcomes for student who speak English as a second language and receive English Language instructional services.

Students with Disabilities - These MGP calculations represent growth outcomes for students who receive services under an Individualized Education Program (IEP).

The framework assigns a rating to each of the MGP calculations outlined above. District and school MGPs will always fall within the range of 1 - 99, with 50 representing the midpoint for the state. Ratings cut points are set at different increments along this range and are consistent for all growth measures that appear in the performance framework.

For each rating, a district or school accumulates a set number of points toward its overall Academic Growth rating. Points are earned in proportion to the level of the rating, so that higher ratings equate to larger point totals. The table below shows how ratings and point values are assigned. Note that in accumulating points toward the overall Academic Growth rating, metrics representing the entire student population are given more weight than metrics representing student subgroups. This is reflected in larger point values associated with the All Students group. For all measures using MGPs, the same cut points are used to determine sub-indicator ratings.

Rating	Median Growth Percentile Range*	All Students: Points Earned/Eligible	Subgroups: Points Earned/Eligible
Exceeds	65-99	8/8	1/1
Meets	50-64.5	6/8	.75/1
Approaching	35-49.5	4/8	.50/1
Does Not Meet	1-34.5	2/8	.25/1

*MGPs are not reported or used in the performance frameworks when fewer than 20 individual student growth percentiles are available.

More information about the Colorado Growth Model is available here.

At the middle school level, the performance framework determines Academic Growth ratings based on metrics generated using the Colorado Growth Model. These metrics measure student progress from one year to the WIDA ACCESS English Language Proficiency (ELP) assessment. For the ELP assessment, median growth percentiles (MGPs) and on-track percentages are used to evaluate growth outcomes.

Both metrics represent the results for all students with two consecutive years of results on WIDA ACCESS assessment. Outcome measures for subgroups of students within the English Language Proficiency results are not reported.

The framework assigns rating to the English Language Proficiency MGPs using the same cut points that have been established for other MGP metrics that appear in the frameworks: ratings cut points are set at 35.0, 50.0, and 65.0. On-Track percentages are set using the same method that is used for assigning ratings to Academic Achievement metrics: each on-track metric is ranked relative to statewide outcomes, and ratings cut points are set at the 15th, 50th, and 85th percentiles.

For each rating assigned to an individual MGP or On-Track metric, a district or school accumulates a set number of points toward its overall Academic Growth rating. Points are earned in proportion to the level of the rating, so that higher ratings equate to larger point totals. The table below shows how ratings and point values are assigned to the ELP growth metrics.

English Language Proficiency Median Growth Percentile

Rating	MGP Range*	Point Values
Exceeds	65-99	2
Meets	50-64.5	1.5
Approaching	35-49.5	1
Does Not Meet	1-34.5	.5

On Track to English Language Proficiency

Rating	Percentile Rank Range	Percentage of Students	Point Values
Exceeds	85-99	82.4-100%	2
Meets	50-84	72.4-82.39%	1.5
Approaching	15-49	63.5-72.39%	1
Does Not Meet	1-14	0-63.49%	.5

*Growth results for student who had a language proficiency designation other than NEP or LEP are not included in performance framework calculations.
