Does successfully moving from one achievement level to a higher one necessarily produce a higher growth percentile than moving up within an achievement level?
No. student growth percentiles are calculated on the basis of overall growth using exact test scores, not with reference to movement between achievement levels. For example, a student can have a higher growth percentile and stay within the Unsatisfactory level of achievement than a student moving from Unsatisfactory to Partially Proficient. Growth percentiles describe growth anywhere along the score scale, not just as achievement levels are crossed.
