Sometimes, changes in scoring calibrations (such as the 2020 maintenance for K-2 assessments) can result in lower average scores as students get older.
This occurs when a student's observed growth is less than their "Typical Growth" projection. A Low Growth / Low Achievement classification identifies students who are both behind their peers and not progressing at the expected rate. Common Causes for Low Performance
Students moving from the K-2 test to the 2-5 test may encounter unfamiliar content (e.g., long division), causing a temporary dip.
Low effort or "blowing off" the test can lead to scores that do not reflect actual ability.
In the context of NWEA MAP (Measures of Academic Progress), "low" can refer to two distinct metrics: (the actual RIT score) and growth (the change in score over time).
