WHAT IS STUDENT GROWTH?
Student growth is the amount of academic progress that students make over the course of a grade or class. Students enter grades and course at different places; some have struggled while some have excelled. Regardless of how they enter a grade or course, students can make progress over the course of the school year.
HOW IS STUDENT GROWTH MEASURED?
The State uses multiple assessments and processes to measure student learning.
• End-of-Grade and End-of-Course assessments for grades 3-8 English Language Arts and Mathematics, grades 5 and 8 science, and Biology, Math I, and English II
• Career and Technical Education State Assessments for Career and Technical Education courses at the middle school and high school levels
• NC Final Exams for courses and subjects in grades 4-12 English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies when an End-of-Grade or End-of-Course assessment is not administered
• K-3 Checkpoints for measuring students' reading skill development in grades K-3
The State Board of Education has approved the use of the Education Value-Added Assessment System (EVAAS) to calculate student growth values with results from the End-of-Course assessments, End-of-Grade assessments, Career and Technical Education State Assessments, and the NC Final Exams.
