For each test that your child took in spring 2013, the report shows your child’s Achievement Level (Advanced, Proficient, Needs Improvement, or Warning/Failing ). In addition, each child who participated in the English Language Arts (ELA) or Mathematics tests in grades 4–8 or 10 in 2013, and who also took the prior MCAS test in that subject, receives a Student Growth Percentile (SGP) score. The SGP shows how your child’s progress compares to the progress of other students in the same grade statewide who earned similar MCAS scores in previous years. The report also provides information regarding how your child’s performance compares to school, district, and state performance; how your child performed in different sub-content areas of the test(s); and how your child did on individual test questions. This section shows how your child did on each test question. In the bottom row (Your Child’s Score) for each subject, you will find whether your child gave the correct answer on multiple-choice questions and the number of points earned by your child on other types of questions. Reporting Category codes are given in the table above. Released test questions are available at www.doe.mass.edu/mcas/testitems.html. Question Number ALLEN, KAYTLIN N.

A higher SGP means the student progressed at a higher rate than other students with similar test scores, while a lower SGP means the student progressed at a lower rate than other students with similar test scores. The rows below your child’s SGP show the growth of students at your child’s school and district, as compared to the growth of students at other schools and districts across the state with similar MCAS score histories.
