Understanding Entering Achievement and Exiting Achievement
- Assessments analyzed with the Gain model are reported in NCEs.
- Assessments analyzed with the Predictive model are reported in scale scores.
Depending on the assessment, achievement is reported in Normal Curve Equivalents (NCEs) or scale scores.
- Entering achievement is either the average of the students' NCEs from the most recent prior year available or the average of the students' expected scale scores.
- Exiting achievement is either the average of the students' current year NCEs or the average of the students' actual scale scores.
| Analysis | |
|---|---|
| Assessments analyzed with the Gain model | Entering achievement is the weighted average of the students' NCEs from the most recent prior year available. |
| Assessments analyzed with the Predictive model | We generate an expected score for each student included in the analysis. An expected score is what we would expect the student to score. |
