High School Readiness
High School Readiness shows how prepared a student is for success in grades 9-12. Districts use one of several approved Interim Assessment tools to measure the impact of instruction on student learning. This impact is identified as either status (performance at a point in time) or growth (performance over a specific period of time). The Interim Assessments help inform students of their progress in understanding grade level standards and support teachers in providing effective instruction.We use Evaluate interim assessments to inform students of their learning progress and support teachers in effective instruction. Interim assessments are used in grades 3-8 for English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. Use the dashboard below to learn more about how students are progressing in ELA and Mathematics.
GROWTH
Describes the extent to which a student’s growth trajectory estimates they are “on-track” to demonstrate a foundational understanding of grade level standards by the end of that academic year.
Interim assessments used by School Innovation Waiver districts measure growth differently. These measures are used to help understand how much growth a student has made relative to where they started the school year.

ACADEMIC READINESS
Describes a student’s level of academic content knowledge at a point in time. Interim assessments used by School Innovation Waiver districts have their own unique achievement level descriptors. These levels are used to share with students where they are in understanding the standards. See examples that follow for the level used for each districts interim assessment.

ACADEMIC READINESS by GROWTH
This quadrant combines the academic readiness measure with the growth measure to describe the extent to which students are growing as expected to demonstrate understanding of grade level standards.
This simulation illustrates the percent of students academic readiness and the extent to which their growth is on-track for what is expected within each interim assessment.
