District Details:
English Language Growth (ELPA21)
This view provides information about the performance of students who are included in the accountability determinations.
The 2020-2021 data for this measure is available, although the results of students who took the ISASP remotely
in an unproctored environment are not included in this measure (3.4% of all tested students statewide took the
ISASP remotely). While assessment participation was high statewide (97.9% in ELA, 97.6% in Math),
districts/buildings/subgroups with lower participation rates and/or higher rates of remote testing may have
results that do not reflect the performance of all of their students. Since 2019-2020 data is not available
due to state assessments being cancelled, the growth measure was calculated using 2017-2018, 2018-2019 and
2020-2021 using a skip-year methodology. Due to the missing 2019-2020 data, 4th graders are not included in
the growth measure in 2020-2021. To learn more about changes to the ISPP,
