Terms and Definitions

RIT ScoreWhen a student completes a MAP test, they receive a RIT score. This score represents a student’s achievement level at any given moment and helps measure their academic growth over time. The RIT scale is a stable scale, like feet and inches, that accurately measures student performance, regardless of age, grades, or grade level. Like marking height on a growth chart, and being able to see how a child is at various points in time, you can also see how much they have grown between tests.

Terms and Definitions

Mean RIT Percentile - the average percentile of the RIT scores for that group of students, based on student norms

Median RIT Percentile - the “middle” percentile of RIT scores for that group of students, based on student norms. Statistically half of our students fall at or above the median percentile while half fall at or below the median percentile.

Terms and Definitions

Achievement Percentile - A percentage based ranking of the achievement for the given term as compared to the school-level NWEA norms from the same grade and with the same weeks of instruction between testing.

This number is the percentile ranking of our school(s) against the other 68,000+ schools in the norming study. It is based upon the mean percentile and reflects overall school achievement.

Terms and Definitions

MAP Growth - typical score expected for matching peers within the NWEA norms study—those in the same grade who have the same RIT score in the first term, and the same Weeks of Instruction before testing. This is expressed individually or as a percentage of those meeting/exceeding the growth score.

Terms and Definitions

OPP - Ratio of total Observed Growth to total Projected Growth. A performance of 100% is average, meaning the student growth equaled the projections. This measure can provide a good indicator of group performance but should be interpreted with caution as a number of outliers can influence the overall group score.

Terms and Definitions

School Conditional Growth Index - ranks grade-level growth among growth observed across all matching schools within the NWEA norms study.

Illinois Science Assessment

▸ Administered to students in grades 5 and 8 in Spring of 2016 and 2017

▸ Results for both years made available in recent months.▸ From ISBE:

▹ The ISA yields data to help administrators and educators make broad adjustments to curriculum and instruction over time to better align with state standards. The ISA provides data for the state to ensure all Illinois students build a comprehensive understanding of science over time. The results are not intended to support teaching decisions for individual students.
