Map Growth

How it Works
MAP Growth is a computer-adaptive assessment. If your child answers a question correctly, the next question is more challenging. If a question is answered incorrectly, the next question is easier. This format challenges top performers without overwhelming students whose skills are below grade level.

Results
MAP Growth measures growth over time, allowing you to track your child’s progress throughout the school year and across multiple years. After each MAP Growth administration, results are delivered in the form of a RIT score that reflects academic knowledge, skills, and abilities. Think of this score as marking height on a growth chart. You can tell how tall your child is at various points in time and how much they have grown between one stage and another.

Each time your child takes MAP Growth, the results can be viewed in the statewide longitudinal Date System (SLDS). SLDS can be accessed from Parent Portal.
