Growth
As part of Minnesota's assessment system, The Minnesota Department of Education measures whether or not students are meeting the state math and reading academic standards, which are what they should know and be able to do in a particular grade.
If a student meets those standards, they are considered to be proficient.
With input from educators, the Minnesota Department of Education has created a growth model. The growth model is designed to help parents and educators to track students' progress toward proficiency from year-to-year, in order to better determine whether they are gaining and maintaining skills necessary to be successful after high school.
