👤 Overview
The NWEA MAP Growth Teacher Growth by Test Report provides a summary of student academic growth by teacher across selected MAP Growth assessments and testing terms.
The report helps educators and administrators evaluate student progress by comparing actual growth to NWEA’s projected growth targets and identifying trends across subjects, grade levels, and classrooms.
The report includes:
- Total number of students tested
- Average RIT Score
- Average Percentile Rank
- Average Observed Growth
- Projected Growth attainment (whether students met expected growth targets)
- Percent of students meeting projected growth
Data is displayed by assessment subject (such as Math, Reading, Language Usage, or Science) and includes totals across all selected tests.

📑 Report Metrics
Number of Students
The total number of students linked to the selected teacher and assessment.
Average RIT Score
The average instructional achievement level of students based on NWEA MAP Growth results.
Average Percentile Rank
The average national percentile ranking of students compared to peers nationwide.
Average Observed Growth
The average actual growth achieved by students between assessment windows.
Met Projected Growth Counts
Student counts are grouped into:
- Yes / Yes* – Students met or exceeded projected growth targets
- No / No* – Students did not meet projected growth targets
Percent Meeting Projected Growth
The percentage of students who met or exceeded their projected growth targets.
📊 How to Interpret the Data
Average RIT Score
RIT scores measure student achievement on a continuous instructional scale. Higher scores generally indicate higher levels of academic performance.
Average Percentile Rank
Percentile rank compares student performance to a national norm group.
- 50th percentile represents the national average.
- Higher percentiles indicate performance above national averages.
Average Observed Growth
Observed Growth reflects actual student progress between testing windows.
A value of 0.00 may indicate:
- A prior or comparison assessment window is missing
- Growth calculations are not yet available
- The student does not have valid paired test records
Met Projected Growth
NWEA provides projected growth targets based on prior student performance.
- Yes / Yes* = Student met or exceeded projected growth expectations
- No / No* = Student did not meet projected growth expectations
An asterisk (*) may indicate special calculation conditions or partial assessment data depending on the NWEA data provided.
Percent Meeting Projected Growth
This metric summarizes the overall percentage of students who achieved their projected growth goals.
A value of 0.00% or N/A may indicate:
- Growth calculations are not yet available
- Students lack valid comparison test windows
- Required assessment records are missing
