[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of the movement is because the growth scores only measure change in one year, which is a really silly measure as a blip year can send you skyrocketing and then crashing or vice versa. Given that 2/3rds of points are based on CAPE scores in one year as a result, the results are always going to be crazily volatile and the percentages somewhat meaningless. Achievement and growth should both be 3 year measures; perhaps double weighting the most recent year.[/quote] +1. I was here last year defending my kid's school because the numbers were very low. They're much higher now. I do not think the school significantly improved in that period. It was better than the numbers suggested before but for all I know it's not quite as good as they suggest now. [/quote]
