Assessments by Model
Gain Model
This analytic model is used for subjects that are assessed in consecutive grades.
- M-STEP Mathematics and English Language Arts in grades 4-7
- PSAT 8/9 Mathematics and English Language Arts in grade 8
- MAP Mathematics and Reading in grades 1-8 (Teacher reports only)
- STAR Mathematics grades 2-8 and Reading & Literacy K-8 (Teacher reports only)
- i-Ready Mathematics and ELA grades K-8 (Teacher reports only)
Predictive Model
This analytic model is used for subjects that are assessed in non-consecutive or consecutive grades, including when students move from one assessment type to another:
- M-STEP Social Studies in grades 5, 8, and 11
- M-STEP Science grades 5, 8, and 11
- PSAT 8/9 grade 9 Mathematics and Evidence-Based Reading and Writing
- PSAT 10 Mathematics and Evidence-Based Reading and Writing
- SAT Mathematics and Evidence-Based Reading and Writing
During the 2022-23 school year, ISAT assessments for English Language Arts and Math were administered in grade 11 instead of in grade 10 as in the past. In addition, some students that took these assessments in the 2021-22 school year while in grade 10 were not required to take the assessments while in grade 11 during the 2022-23 school year. For reporting and accountability purposes, the scores for this group of students were used as grade 11 scores for the 2022-23 school year alongside the grade 11 scores of students who were required to take the assessments. As a result, a different approach was needed for the 2022-23 analysis for the grade 11 assessments. For more information, refer to the Statistical Models and Business Rules document.
