About Growth Reports

LEA Growth Reports provide reliable measures of the average academic growth a LEA's students made in each tested grade and subject or course. The growth measures indicate how successful the LEA was in helping students meet expected growth. The growth reports can help educators identify relative strengths and areas of concern across grades and subjects. Examining patterns and trends across years can offer important insights into the effectiveness of the LEA's programs.

It's important to view the growth reports in conjunction with the diagnostic reports, which display patterns of growth for groups of students at different achievement levels.

Making Comparisons

Use options in the filter panel to add data from other years, tests and subjects, LEAs and buildings, and more. Your options might be limited to the data that you have access to.

Up to 10 additional LEAs or buildings, can be viewed in the report using the Add Comparison option under the LEAs and Buildings section in the filter panel.

Downloading Growth Reports

Growth reports for a specific building or LEA can be saved as an Excel spreadsheet (.xlsx format) by clicking on the Download Report button in the upper right corner of the report. A dialogue box opens where the filename can be determined. Click Download Report to save the report to your computer. The resulting spreadsheet will contain growth data for the LEA or building selected from the main drop-down menu at the top of the filter panel.
