5. Determining Student Growth Percentile Students are placed into a peer group based upon last year’s K-PREP score. (Students without a previous test result are removed from the growth calculation.) Students are ranked across the state to create each peer group. 1 point is awarded for each percent of students that shows typical or high growth. Growth is determined by comparing/ranking students in the peer group based on current test scores. Typical or high growth is set at or above the 40th Student Growth Percentile. Accountable students have been in the school or district 100 instructional days. KDE:OAA:DSR:pp: 12/15/2015 5
