15. 15 Annual Lexile Growth Expectations by Grade Level Scholastic and MetaMetrics analyzed Lexile growth from a large urban district whose demographics resembled those of the nation. Six years of growth data was collected for more than 350,000 students in Grades 3-10. Trends revealed: Annual growth expectations are greater for students in lower Lexile ranges than in higher Lexile ranges. Average growth tends to be greater in the lower grades, and lower in the higher grades. This chart was designed to set growth expectations for groups of students. A student’s initial Lexile measure should be used to set an individual’s growth goal.
