3rd Grade Reading Proficiency
Supporting Research
The 3rd Grade Reading Proficiency indicator is a measure of students who met or exceeded grade level expectations on MAP reading. Students reaching reading proficiency by the end of third grade find greater academic success in elementary school and beyond. This impact is more profound for at-risk students (Francis, Shaywitz, Stuebing, Shaywitz, & Fletcher, 1996; Lesnick, Goerge, Smithgall. & Gwynne, 2010; Hernandez, 2011).
Chart Description
This bar chart with reading and math data for three shows the percent of students who are at or above the 50th percentile based on spring scores. Reading is consistent in the mid 70 percent of students. Math in 5th grade is more variable with a dip in performance from 74% in 2018 to 66.8% in 2019. Having students on track is important for long-term academic success and intervening early if additional assistance is needed. Due to COVID-19, the NWEA MAP data is unavailable for the 2019-20 and 2020-21 academic years.
5th Grade Math Proficiency
Supporting Research
The 5th Grade Math Proficiency indicator is a measure of students who met or exceeded grade level expectations on MAP math. Early achievement on math is often a predictor for future math success in school and the development of a positive self-concept with math that research suggests has a strong correlation to math growth (Duncan, 2007; Montague, et al, 2011).
