Recognition for Growth is determined by an analysis of the Normal Curve Equivalent (NCE) scores of two consecutive years. If a class has the same NCE as the previous year, they have shown more than a full year’s growth. Taking into consideration a margin of error of +/- 5, the following schools showed between 90% and 100% growth at every grade level tested in every content area.
