School-level norms

Provide a context for comparing grade-level achievement and growth in a single school relative to other schools across the nation. MAP Growth is the only interim assessment that provides school-level norms, helping you compare specific grade levels in your schools to students in the same grade across the nation.

The most accurate norms

Today’s kids are vastly different from those in school ten years ago, so NWEA™ conducts norming studies frequently—every three years—ensuring that the comparisons reflect current standards and demographics. And we continually refine our best-in-class research model to make NWEA norms more accurate than any other—and always improving.

Norms Help Teachers Teach and Leaders Lead

Norms help you see if students are growing at an expected pace, regardless of where a student started. NWEA norms allow you to make predictions about what kind of growth is typical and atypical.
