Student Growth District Summary
Fall 2008 to Spring 2009
Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) is a computer adaptive assessment program that measures individual student growth from the beginning to the end of the school year. In 2008-2009 LPS students in grades 3-10 took both the reading and math assessment at the beginning and the end of the year. Many students were also designated to take a reading test in the middle of the year. Educators use the formative growth and achievement data throughout the year to develop targeted instructional strategies and to plan school improvement. MAP test results are reported immediately after completing each test and help educators make student focused, data-informed decisions.

Grade Level Median RIT - The test score with an equal number of scores above and below; the middle score for the grade level. The RIT scale is an equal-interval scale much like centimeters on a ruler and is used to chart student academic growth from year to year.
Percentile Rank (PR) - Shows the percentage of students in the national sample with scores lower than the typical LPS student.
