An academic peer is a student in the same grade and the same subject with the same test score in the previous year.  \nGrowth is responsive to changes in classroom structures and practices.  \nPercentile, Not Percent  \nThe SGP represents a percentile, not a percent. It tells you how your students’growth on average compares to other students’ growth. It does not tell you how much they grew – only whether their growth was above or below the state average, which is always the 50th percentile. It’s like when the pediatrician says your child is in the 75th percentile for height, that means your child is taller than 75% of other children of the same age.  \nWhy Growth?  \nGrowth recognizes learning gains for all students, whether or not they achieve proficiency. Compared to other growth measures, school’s SGPs had slightly lower correlations with prior year achievement, percent English Learners, percent children with disabilities, and percent low-income.  \n[isbe](isbe.net/ilreportcard)[.net/ilreportcard](isbe.net/ilreportcard)  \nHow do I talk about my school’s SGP? Example: 2024 School Cohort ELA SGP of 62.1, compared to 2024 State Cohort ELA SGP of 50 “Our school achieved higher than average growth. Our students grew faster than 62% of comparable students in the state.”  \nExample: 2024 School Cohort Math SGP of 42.4, compared to 2024 State Cohort ELA SGP of 50 “Our students’ growth this past year was below the state average, but still within the normal range. Our students’ growth was in the 42nd percentile.”  \nExample: 2024 School Baseline ELA SGP of 65.6, compared to 2019 School Cohort ELA SGP of 47.3  \n“Our students continued to experience accelerated growth last year. Our students’ growth was in the 65th percentile last year, compared to the 47th percentile in 2019 prior to the pandemic.”  \nExample: 2024 School Baseline Math SGP of 39.2, compared to 2019 School Cohort Math SGP of 44.1  \n“Our students’ growth was slower this year than prior to the pandemic. Our students’ growth was in the 39th percentile last year, compared to the 44th percentile in 2019.”  \nWhat’s the difference between proficiency and growth?  \nProficiency shows whether or not students have mastered a common, high standard;  \nit’s a yes or no question. Growth is responsive to changes in classroom structures and practices; whereas proficiency correlates strongly with family income and education levels. Growth recognizes progress toward and beyond the standard, no matter where each student started. Demographics do not predict growth. Data show that students of all races, income levels, languages, and disability statutes demonstrate growth across the full range.  \nProficiency is like the height cut off to ride rides at the fair. A child is either tall enough or not. The growth percentile is a totally different measure that doesn’t care how tall a child is, just how much they grew over the past year.  \nWhat is Mean SGP?  \nA school’s mean SGP is the average of its individual students’ SGPs. If 100 cars drive from Springfield to Chicago, each car’s “SGP” would be its average rate of speed across the entire journey. The “mean SGP”would be the average of all 100 cars’ individual rates. The mean SGP accounts for 50 percent of a P-8 school’s annual summative designation.  \nEach student has their own SGP  \n[isbe](isbe.net/ilreportcard)[.net/ilreportcard](isbe.net/ilreportcard)  \nThe mean SGP is the average of all students’ indvidual rates  \nCohort vs. Baseline SGP  \nThe cohort SGP compares the growth of academic peers across the state who had the same scale score last year. The state mean SGP will always be the 50th percentile in a cohort SGP calculation.  \nThe baseline SGP compares the growth of academic peers across the state to academic ","cbCaijBPkWkt1WoG","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijBPkWkt1WoG","pdf",1836499,"English","# Understanding Student Growth\n## What is the Student Growth Percentile (SGP)?\n## Percentile, Not Percent\n## Why Growth?\n## What’s the difference between proficiency and growth?\n## What is Mean SGP?\n## Each student has their own SGP\n## Cohort vs. Baseline SGP\n## Sample Distributions of Mean SGPs","[{\"question\":\"What is the Student Growth Percentile (SGP)?\",\"answer\":\"SGP describes how much a student grew compared to academic peers in the same grade and subject who had the same test score the previous year.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is SGP described as a percentile rather than a percent?\",\"answer\":\"SGP shows how students’ average growth compares to others’ growth and whether it is above or below the state average (the 50th percentile), but it does not state how much they grew.\"},{\"question\":\"How do cohort SGP and baseline SGP differ?\",\"answer\":\"Cohort SGP compares growth to peers across the state with the same scale score last year, while baseline SGP compares growth to peers with the same scale score in a specified prior baseline year.\"}]","2024 ILLINOIS REPORT CARD - UNDERSTANDING STUDENT GROWTH - What is the Student Growth Percentile (SGP)? | PDF",1791598358]
