Also, what is reasonable growth for the highend?

That's what I've been trying to figure out. Glad I'm not the only one! I was pleased to see DD6's growth using MAP results was steeper from F08 to W09 (in school) than S08 to F08 (summer break).

There is information in this report for growth by RIT level for different grades (see page 42). This doesn't take into account support outside the school like comparing growth during the school year to summer growth (or regression) could.

P.S. Thanks for using the term growth model. I was able to find more information when I searched using that term. This helped me sum up some of my thoughts:

The progress of students who are well above or below grade level is effectively invisible under the current
testing system.
