He probably took the 2-5 version. If he has high scores already, he's less likely to see as much growth. Also, I think K-2 students typically have higher growth than over 3rd grade.
Don't worry too much, though. In math, DD9 grew only (less than 5) points from fall to winter last year, but then grew another 20 points by spring. She showed almost no growth in reading last year, though.
I believe that "growth projections" actually come from NWEA.
In terms of approaching the school, you certainly can. They may tell you that it is only one measure of growth. Still, with a high achieving student, it can be reassuring to see that they continue to grow.
