Opportunity Gaps
How many kids at this school are on or above grade level?
Academic Achievement is a measure of the end of year state assessment called the Smarter Balanced test (SBAC). On a grading scale of 1 through 4, a student receives a 3 for proficient or a 4 for advanced. This is also referred to as "on grade level" or "above grade level."
Academic Achievement
How many 3rd graders read on or above grade level?
Third grade is an important year to measure the future success of kids. Data shows that children who cannot read by 3rd-grade are four times less likely to graduate from high school.
Equity in education means personal or social circumstances do not impact achievement. This data shows students on or above grade level across the school's student population. Differences may suggest some student groups are not getting the support to succeed. Note: Subgroups that are less than 25 in the total number of students tested are not included here.
Growth
Growth is a measure of:
- Median Growth Percentile (MGP): tells us how well a school is supporting the growth of all students compared to last year.
- Adequate Growth Percentile (AGP): tells us how many students are growing fast enough to be on grade level within three years.

How is this school doing with students who need extra help to learn the English language?
This percentage of students are on track to no longer need services for English language skills within five years.
Opportunity Gaps
Opportunity Gaps is a measure of growth among students who were not on grade level on the state assessments the previous school year. This tells us the number of students who were not on grade level last year who are on track to be on grade level within three years (meeting their Adequate Growth Percentile benchmark in the current year).
How many students who were not on grade level last year met their growth benchmark in Math?
These are students who were not on grade level last year are on track to be on grade level within three years.
How many students who were not on grade level last year met their growth benchmark in English Language Arts?
These are students who were not on grade level last year are on track to be on grade level within three years.
Note: this category uses one of the same measures as used for the Growth category, Adequate Growth Percentile, but looks specifically at student subgroups who need extra support to move from "not on grade level" to "on grade level".
Student Engagement
A student that is absent 10% or more of the total days enrolled in a school will be identified as chronically absent. A student must be enrolled in a school for at least 91 days of the current school year to be included in this calculation.
