These values can be seen in the tablesabove. Project students were mostly lower in Math except grades K, 5, and 8 where Project students outperformed non-Project students. In Reading, Project students had smaller raw growth than non-Project students in all grades except 8 thwhere Project students had more raw growth than non-Project student and even more raw growth than NWEA norms.Note that the pattern of decreasing raw growth in higher grades is consistent with the national results.Comparing RIT scores and raw growth for Project BIE students, non-Project BIE students, and NWEA national norms isone way to look at performance, but measuring student growth on an normalized scale is a better method fordetermining how well schools are doing, particularly for schools that have traditionally had scored so far below nationalaverages.The growth index score shows whether the student grew more than the average of NWEA students who started with thesame RIT score in the fall term (positive values), or whether the student’s growth was below those national norms16 | P a g e
Fall to Spring Norm-Indexed Growth ScoreFall to Spring Norm-Indexed Growth Score(negative value). A value of 0 means the student’s growth was equal to the average growth of NWEA students whostarted at the same score. The advantage of this comparison over looking at raw growth is that students at different RITscore levels have predictably different growth scores (lower grades show more raw growth than upper grades). Thenorm growth index score equalizes growth across all grades by comparing raw growth to the NWEA norms at each gradelevel. Using this measurement results in a more apples-to-apples effect.Figure 5: Fall to Spring Math growth index scoresFall to Spring Math Norm-Based Growth Index ScoresBIE Project and non-Project students compared to NWEA Norms3.00Project Nonproject Norm2.001.000.00-1.00-2.00-3.00-4.00-5.00-6.00Grade 2 Grade 3 Grade 4 Grade 5 Grade 6 Grade 7 Grade 8 TotalFigure 6: Fall to Spring Reading growth index scoresFall to Spring Reading Norm-Based Growth Index ScoresBIE Project and non-Project students compared to NWEA Norms3.00Project Nonproject Norm2.001.000.00-1.00-2.00-3.00-4.00-5.00-6.00Grade 2 Grade 3 Grade 4 Grade 5 Grade 6 Grade 7 Grade 8 Total17 | P a g e
