The idea
High-stakes tests carry serious consequences; NCLB required disaggregated results and adequate yearly progress toward full proficiency by 2013 to 2014, until ESSA replaced it in 2015; growth models judge improvement where status models judge proficiency.
In practice
A school far behind may show strong growth while its status stays low.
Where people slip
