This paper describes student growth percentiles (SGP), an increasingly popular method of characterizing student growth that is used in Renaissance's Star Reading, Star Math, Star Early Literacy, Star Lectura, Star Matemáticas, and Star Alfabetización temprana assessments. Topics covered include: explanation of performance versus growth measures, information on the evolution of the SGP score (purpose of the prior score and time adjustment), and a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) with answers.

The purpose of this project is to statistically link the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and Star Reading and Star Math scales. The Full Report is available online: <https://docs.renaissance.com/R63439>.

This large Freckle for Math study involved more than 250,000 students from Grades 3-5 and examined Freckle for Math usage and growth in general math ability (Star Student Growth Percentile) over the fall-to-spring period in the 2022-2023 school year. Students in grades 3-5 who used Freckle for Math at or above recommended levels experienced significantly greater growth than students using the program below recommended levels or not at all, particularly if the recommended usage spanned a larger portion of the school year. Using Freckle for Math at or above recommended usage levels promoted significantly greater growth among students in different educational settings (e.g., urban/suburban/rural, economically disadvantaged school classified as Title I), and among students using the program in small groups and large groups. Using Freckle for Math at or above recommended usage levels also promoted significantly greater growth for students of differing characteristics, including at risk students who struggle with math and English Language Learners.The full study is available online: <https://docs.renaissance.com/R67897>.
