Add growth scores to the NWEA MAP import.
The NWEA MAP does not import growth fields. We need these added to the import ASAP.

Adding a dedicated growth percentile field in Aeries would transform how we monitor student progress. Rather than focusing solely on achievement scores, growth percentiles reveal each student's academic trajectory relative to peers with similar starting points, providing a more equitable and comprehensive view of student development. This enhancement would significantly improve our data triangulation capabilities by allowing educators to correlate growth metrics with other performance indicators already in the system. Site administrators and teachers, who already heavily rely on MAP growth data (often more than achievement percentiles), would gain streamlined access to these critical metrics directly within their primary data system. Furthermore, a dedicated growth field would enable powerful disaggregation in analytics, helping identify which student groups are making accelerated progress and which need additional support—insights that achievement scores alone cannot provide. This seemingly small addition would ultimately lead to more informed instructional decisions and targeted interventions across our district.

This enables districts to integrate data on both achievement and growth percentiles. NWEA offers valuable insights into student progress, with growth percentiles providing a better representation than achievement percentiles. By allowing users to select which growth percentile to upload for each student, this dataset can be easily analyzed to view group data for schools and districts. Additionally, it can be incorporated into extended fields to facilitate queries that monitor student growth and achievement while also integrating demographic data. This approach would benefit both districts and school sites.
