Level
Description
260-280
Advanced Students at this level demonstrate a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of rigorous subject matter and provide sophisticated solutions to complex problems.
240-258
Proficient Students at this level demonstrate a solid understanding of challenging subject matter and solve a wide variety of problems.
220-238

nt
Students at this level demonstrate a partial understanding of subject matter and solve some simple problems.
200-218
Warning Students at this level demonstrate a minimal understanding of subject matter and do not solve simple problems.
Composite Performance Index (CPI) measures how close a school or district is to having all students score in the Proficient/Advanced categories

Student Growth Percentiles
A new way of measuring student progress
Tracking Student Progress
MCAS performance level and scaled scores answer, “How much has this student achieved compared to the state’s grade- level learning standards?”
SGP answers the question, “How much has this student achieved over the previous year compared to his or her academic peers?
Compares students to “academic peers” (those who had similar historical MCAS results)
SGP indicates how a student’s growth is compared to that of peers

Laura’sScore 230 SGP = 35

218
Laura has three years of MCAS scores: 230, 230, and 230. Based on her academic peers’ performance, her SGP for year 3
is determined to be 35.
A percentile is a statistic that indicates the percentage of a reference group obtaining scores equal to or less than the
individual’s score.
SGP, A Visual ExampleLaura’s SGP of 35 means 35th percentile. Imagine her academic peers as100 people standing in a single file line from highest to lowest score.A person who scored in the 35th percentile is 35th from the end.
end of line = lowest score
218
front of line = highest score 262
35th percentile
34 people are behind of her.
65 people are in front of her.
SGP RangeRange Description
1 – 30 Lower Growth
40 – 60 Moderate Growth (Similar growth to academic peers)
61 – 99 Higher Growth
School/District Growth Percentiles
SGPs are created for each school and district .
SGP represents a “typical” growth for students in the school or district (Half will be above 50; half will be below 50.)
Interpreting MCAS Results
Look at student performance from “achievement” and “growth” perspective.
Students with history of poor MCAS scores may make progress, but still not reach Proficient level.
Students with a history of very high MCAS scores may be Proficient or Advanced, but have a low growth score.
