[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Capital City used to be at the top of people's lists...what's going on there? I'm also curious how they separate out "improvement" from "changing student body" and whether % FARMS is factored into this. For instance, the school my son attends has slowly reduced its FARMS rate, and simultaneously has gone from Tier 2 to Tier 1, but how do we know if they are riding on that, or actually educating kids better? [/quote] MGP is based on student growth, not school growth. So if a student scored 2 last year and a 3 the next year, then they would attribute that growth to their school. I think the numbers get broken down more detailed than just 1-2-3-4-5 so they can see more granular growth.[/quote] You are right - it is more detailed. It also adjusts for students at the upper end, so that a student that goes from 93% to 94% from year to year isn't underweighted and a student that goes from 20%-40% isn't overweighted. [/quote]
