NWEA MAP Growth

MAP Growth is a computer adaptive test that provides teachers and parents with immediate information to help deliver appropriate content for each student and determine each student's academic growth over time. Teachers will be able to see the progress of individual students and of their class as a whole. School leadership can see the progress of a grade level, school, or the entire district.

What does Saint James do with the results of the assessments?
Since students with similar MAP Growth scores are generally ready for instruction in similar skills and topics, the data provides teachers with good information to plan instruction. MAP Growth also provides typical growth data for students who are in the same grade, subject, and have the same starting performance level. This data is often used to help students set goals and understand what they need to learn to achieve their goals.
