Growth measures how much students are learning each year, regardless of their starting point. A school with low proficiency but high growth is accelerating learning. Proficiency measures how many students are at or above grade level right now.

Growth = % of students achieving 105%+ of expected growth on the CAASPP (California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress), the annual state standardized test for grades 3–8. Proficiency = % meeting or exceeding grade-level standards.
