A dataset comprising a subset of five years of state assessment reading and mathematics data suitable for student growth percentile (SGP) and percentile growth projection/trajectory analyses. The dataset is in LONG format with each record representing a unique student, by year by content area combination. The example data is used in examples and illustration in the enclosed documentation to show how SGPs can be operationalized across years with the results being used to produce a variety of high quality visualizations both at the aggregate (e.g., school) and individual level.
