What does NCE stand for?
NCE stands for Normal Curve Equivalent. The NCE is a comparison of the student’s rate of progress to the norm, based on a national sample. For instance, a gain of 0 means the student is progressing at pace with the norm. If the number is negative, the student is progressing at a slower rate. If a teacher wants the student’s NCE to appear on the report, then he or she needs to check it off when setting up the reports.
