Priority 4
Average Quantile Measure is calculated by averaging the Quantile measures of all students in a particular grade level. It is calculated by dividing the sum of students’ Quantile measures by the number of students tested in each grade level. Measures are aggregated at the specified report and/or time period level. (Number)
Priority 4
Average Quantile Growth measures the average growth in Quantile measures between assessment windows. It is calculated by by dividing the sum of students’ Quantile growth by the number of students who tested during the specified assessment windows (i.e., Fall, Winter, or Spring). Measures are aggregated at the specified report and/or time period level. (Number)
Priority 4
Average Student Growth Percentile (SGP) is calculated by by dividing the sum of students’ SGP by the number of students who tested during the specified assessment windows (i.e., Fall-Winter, Winter-Spring, or Fall-Spring). Calculates based on the maximum SGP observed during school year, based on windows selected for inclusion in filter options.
Priority 4
Average Grade Level Equivalency and Grade Equivalency growth by grade and charter.
Priority 4
Lexile Measure Increase is the percentage of students who have increased their Lexile measure between assessments at some point during the school year. It is calculated by dividing the number of students who have increased their Lexile measures by the total number of students who have taken two or more assessments. Measures are aggregated at the specified report and/or time period level. (Percentage)
Priority 4
Student Growth Percentile (SGP) Threshold Attainment is a measure of the percentage of students who have met a specified SGP threshold level.

Chronic Absenteeism is a percentage that is calculated by dividing the number of students who are chronically absent by the total number of students. Students are considered chronically absent when they miss at least 10% of the expected instructional days. This metric aligns with student data reported to CALPADS through the Student Absence Summary (STAS) report.
