Student Performance�2025-2026�Year-End Update��June 2026�

Year-End Assessment Considerations

Year-End Reading and Math Update

• Annual FY26 Progress/Growth
• FY26 Year-End Student Achievement
• Examine both MAP (reading/math0 and iReady (math)

​

Norm-Referenced and Criterion-Referenced Assessments

Norm-Referenced

• MAP and iReady Math
• Comparison to performance of similar students nationally
• Norms typically “updated” approximately every 5 years

​

Criterion Referenced

• iReady Math
• Measures performance against fixed set of standards/learning outcomes rather than comparison to other individuals

Year-End Assessment Considerations

New 2025 MAP Norms

• Norm-Referenced
• compare students to performance of similar students nationally
• 2025 Norms - Student data from FY23 and FY24 (post COVID era)
• Most accurate comparison - aligned to current, nationally representative population
• Overall, 2025 MAP norms:
• Downward shift in student achievement compared to 2020 norms
• Generally, the “typical” grade level RIT score decreased
• 2020 Norms - RIT score = 60th %ile; 2025 norms - Same RIT = 70th %ile
• EISA (Enhanced Item Selection Algorithm) resulted in increased growth, particularly in math

​

iReady Norms

• Last major update to i-Ready national norms occurred in FY25 school year.
• Norms based on student assessment data collected during 23-24 school year.

FY26 Year-End Progress Results

Percentage Meeting Individual Targets - MAP

• Annual progress results are UP from last year.
• Math - 77% met targets
• Reading - 62 % met targets
• Approx. 60%-65% of students meeting growth targets = high performing district

​

NWEA (MAP) National Ranking

• Progress Rankings up for Math; in Reading is down
• Ranking improves as more students EXCEED (not just meet) annual growth targets

​

Percentage of K-5 Students Meeting Individual Targets - iReady Math

• FY26 Math annual progress consistent with FY25
• 66% met targets

�Year-End�Student Achievement �2025-26 School Year���

FY25 Year-End Achievement Results

​

Achieving at/above 50^th Percentile - MAP

• Percentage of students at/above 50^th percentile is UP from last spring in both Math and Reading
• 75% achieved at/above 50^th percentile in reading
• 80% achieved at/above 50^th percentile in math

​

National Ranking - MAP

• 96^th percentile ranking in Math - Up from last year
• 87^th percentile ranking in Reading - Up from last year
• HIGHER average RIT scores across grade levels 🡪 District Rankings IMPROVE
