Student Growth Calculations
Student growth is reported as Full Credit (F), Partial Credit (P), or No Credit (N). Eduphoria’s calculations match those of the Annual Growth Points tables provided by TEA.
Students who do not have two consecutive years of STAAR data will not receive a growth score. Students without the selected year’s STAAR score will not be displayed.
Students with 0 points earn No Credit (N), half points earn Partial Credit (P), and 1 point earn Full Credit (F). An example of the table is below:
