CRT growth model at Horizonte  Most students are enrolled less than a full academic year, many lack a previous CRT score for comparison and many do not take the CRTs in the normal test sequence.  CRT growth is measured by the change in scaled score from one year to the next in the same content area

Horizonte growth model applied to other district schools  Using same growth model for students enrolled less than a full academic year, grouped in ethnic/income cohorts, growth results at Horizonte were similar if not better than other schools.

Goals for  Formative growth goals will increase from a minimum of 55% students showing growth to 60%.  CRT growth goals will also increase from a minimum of 30% students showing growth to at least 50%.
