For example, if a student is at the 10th percentile in the fall and makes exactly their growth target, they will remain at the 10th percentile in the winter. Students with below average (\u003C50th percentile) achievement need to grow more than their target to grow towards college and career readiness.  \nPercent of Students Meeting or Exceeding Projected Growth: The percentage of students who met their individualized projected growth target set by NWEA. In a class of 20 students, if 10 met or exceeded their target RIT the percentage would be 50% . This statistic is related to individual student growth.  \nAnswers the question: What percent of students in a school, grade, or classroom met their individual growth targets (projections)?  \nPercent of Projected Growth Met: The sum of observed growth divided by the sum projected growth for a group of students. A performance of 100% is average—student growth equaled the projections.  \nAnswers the question: Did students show more or less growth than expected? To what extent did a group of students (school, grade, or classroom) either exceed or fail to meet their collective growth targets (projections)?  \nPercent of Students At-risk: The percent of students at or below the 30th percentile (national norms) .  \nAnswers the question: What percent of students in a school, grade, or classroom are at-risk of falling behind their grade level peers?  \nPercent of Students Progressing: The percent of students above the 30th percentile (national norms), but not On Track for College and Career Readiness.  \nAnswers the question: What percent of students in a school, grade, or classroom are not at-risk, but not yet meeting grade level expectations in alignment with the Common Core?  \nPercent of Students On Track for College & Career Readiness: The percent of students meeting or exceeding the RIT cut point aligned with proficiency on the Smarter Balanced assessment. This cut points vary by subject, grade level, and test period.  \nAnswers the question: What percent of students in a school, grade, or classroom met grade level expectations in alignment with Smarter Balanced and the Common Core?  \nPercent of Students Not At-risk: The percent of students above the 30th percentile (national norms) . The Progressing and On Track for College and Career Readiness achievement levels combined.  \nCut Points for At-risk, Progressing, and On Track for College & Career Readiness","cbCaimVF9usBOVcn","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimVF9usBOVcn","pdf",153214,"English","# Growth targets and percentile rank\n## Percent of students meeting or exceeding projected growth\n## Percent of projected growth met\n## Student risk and readiness categories\n## At-risk threshold and definitions","[{\"question\":\"How are NWEA MAP growth targets set and interpreted across seasons?\",\"answer\":\"Growth targets are individualized based on maintaining national percentile rank.
