Understanding Outcomes
The Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) measures the percent of individual students meeting and/or exceeding set growth targets based on normative data.
NWEA measures of 50-70% of students meeting their individual growth targets are considered above average
NWEA measures greater than 70% of students meeting their individual growth target are considered exemplary
Growth index measures the amount of points on NWEA’s scale in which a student or group is above or below typical growth.
